Paula Abdul, JoJo Siwa, Leray, this is my life, Ty Dolla $ign And Tony Braxton Are some of the stars who appear in the Hulu competition series Dress my tourwhere fashion designers compete for $100,000 by designing stage outfits that best reflect each artist’s vision. But as a choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibsonone of the show’s judges, explains that designing for the runway and designing for a concert are two different things.

“It’s not just for one night. It’s five shows a week, 32 cities, seven months,” she tells ABC Audio. “So how does that sustainability apply to fabric selection? If the singer needs that chest movement, the arms, the lift, it’s very, very important to understand the functionality.”

Gibson, who has worked with artists such as Lady Gaga To Beyoncesays Dress my tour is special because it offers a glimpse into the process between the artist and his creative team in creating their image.

“Especially where we are in music and fashion, the magic is still needed,” she says. “The hype that changes and influences a generation is still needed.”

And if you’re looking for an example of an artist doing this right now, look no further: Taylor Swift.

“(She) pays attention to every possible detail and really takes the magic to a high level,” says Gibson. And she hopes that it will allow her to show what goes into such creative triumphs Dress my tour to continue for several seasons.

She notes, “Because it’s so creative, so unconventional and such a new narrative, we can do so much in terms of inspiration and innovation with the conversation we’ve started.”

Dress my tour is now streaming.
