New Opera ‘Anna Nicole’ Taps Into Vanity

Last week saw the world premiere of the latest opera by Mark-Anthony Turnage, Anna Nicole at the Royal Opera House, London, based on the life of Anna Nicole Smith. A sordid, tragic tale of fame and fortune, last night the Mix team managed to bag tickets to a sold out performance and couldn’t help seeing similarities in the set design to our Vanity trend, forecast for Spring Summer 2012.

An oversized dusky blue satin mattress, powder pink patterned carpeting and lashings of gold and hot pink; the perfect interpretation of the overtly feminine story that featured in Mix Trends issue 22.
