Yesterday Sunset Entertainment has finally revealed the cover of Madonna Super Bowl 2012 Memories, a 60 photos collection about the performance of the singer at Super Bowl 2012. You can pre-order the book (a limited 1000 copies edition) on the French web-site http://www.sunset-media.net/shop/ and it is available from 8th March.
Style/costume designer B. Akerlund, who already worked with her on Celebration, Jump & 4 Minutes videos, was responsible for the amazing half time show. It was crafted with a Roman Empire theme in which every element was infused with a gladiator vibe mixed with modern day elements from Rome. Madonna’s amazing outift included Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci (you can see all the models by clicking the link below), Miu Miu boots by Miuccia Prada, which were made from stretch nappa leather and you will not find them at a store, and Bulgari High Jewelry Collection earrings made of white gold and diamonds (19.6 cts).
Akerlund included in Madonna’s outfit also a fabulous gold headpiece by Philip Treacy that kicked off the Roman fashion theme.
The fashion masterpiece took over three months to create. The stylist and the singstar worked together on every detail, down to each gladiator. The performance consisted of 500 total outfits including head to toe looks for LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and Cee Lo Green as well as costumes for 100 drum line performers, 150 gladiators and 200 choir singers.
