The dress was created by Michael Schmidt Studios of Los Angeles and New York. You may not now his name, but you certainly know his work. He's been designing for musical legends like Tina Turner, Cher, Deborah Harry, Joan Jett, Iggy Pop, Steven Tyler and Grace Jones since the late 1980's. He was even nominated for an Emmy Award for Costume Design for a Variety or Music Program, "Cher... At The Mirage" in 1991.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9nBqMGlgpdBypZH6XXT1E0bGL6nklXSWHhHJKkNnIZ2EoIqiPiL1akAMEh5hQyJIkjrNjWeIPMk-lTN6XV5bcgoBoXSO2plbFmqArav8CIB9jrLJGaMioKlO_2_OSbrPy-S0rU2NmvOI/s1600/cher+86.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595227175630755058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9nBqMGlgpdBypZH6XXT1E0bGL6nklXSWHhHJKkNnIZ2EoIqiPiL1akAMEh5hQyJIkjrNjWeIPMk-lTN6XV5bcgoBoXSO2plbFmqArav8CIB9jrLJGaMioKlO_2_OSbrPy-S0rU2NmvOI/s400/cher+86.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 405px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTZVE8fsMJut3ukHW-QKrUIsBw_zBVuhWF_QgpskBQOiTCEnzyISCJ8veNTVE5fNNz0NM9I9DQQdxXccEuWAR5FoUgJjhiuBysvsp5_kdBelY9iP0C9fm918SxbHKkZcZXdXow1GD-l4/s1600/tina+turner89.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595227094526545538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTZVE8fsMJut3ukHW-QKrUIsBw_zBVuhWF_QgpskBQOiTCEnzyISCJ8veNTVE5fNNz0NM9I9DQQdxXccEuWAR5FoUgJjhiuBysvsp5_kdBelY9iP0C9fm918SxbHKkZcZXdXow1GD-l4/s400/tina+turner89.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 405px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: Michael's chain maille and crystal designs for Cher and Tina Turner in 1986 and 1989.</span></span><br /><br />More in demand than ever, Michael continues to design for today's popular entertainers like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Dita Von Teese, Rihanna, Brittany Spears and the Chrome Hearts brand.
