Express Yourself

She definitely has an opinion, and that's why I love working with her. There will be old films and actresses that she'll be inspired by and we'll create our own versions of them. When we were doing MDNA promotion and her "Girl Gone Wild" look, one of the references was the "iconic Madonna with the short blonde wig." There was the rock-chick Madonna, and then there was the super-vixen Madonna. For tours, some of our looks evolved in rehearsals, and they were designed based on quick changes. Clothes come first, and I have to come up with ways to change her look in five minutes.
