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.

Another creation is a knotted rope curtain for the lobby of the <a href="https://www.acehotel.com/palmsprings">Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, CA</a>, woven from more than a mile of white cotton rope. Past projects include designing the VIP rooms of the Palladium nightclub in NYC, featuring the installation of black leather floors upon which silver studs spelled out the lyrics to the classic Iggy Pop song 'Nightclubbing' in Braille.<br /><br />His costume and accessory designs are nothing short of body sculpture and last year the <a href="http://www.pmcaonline.org/">PMCA</a> (Pasadena Museum of California Arts) featured much of his work in their California Design Biennial: Action/Reaction exhibit.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCmr7keukzyQ-INl-qUFQEh1VjI_ZrjluU_KnMzYgoNo61QJDaqV-lLqhWFkzmlshGr9DmZNz-PAV80nAJZlTHMC8QKhTDwQN49itQFTN88_t0kt4KGciacGUOFKTwMEvatjL0FgdBMs/s1600/rihanna+cover.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595233609104115074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCmr7keukzyQ-INl-qUFQEh1VjI_ZrjluU_KnMzYgoNo61QJDaqV-lLqhWFkzmlshGr9DmZNz-PAV80nAJZlTHMC8QKhTDwQN49itQFTN88_t0kt4KGciacGUOFKTwMEvatjL0FgdBMs/s400/rihanna+cover.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 718px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx_8RhbMt8h_nE9F9oTPzsFATm1RVcs6gneh5iwUegGNuzPmsbrSvvzn4_0JrKKEZExUXApkUnIdQtFboVGq428GFF0rR9uPeuajVFXRCstpWJKEHFp67WpTuywHVvA3Q6zYCr60DwM_o/s1600/rihanna+shorts1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595232789093968162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx_8RhbMt8h_nE9F9oTPzsFATm1RVcs6gneh5iwUegGNuzPmsbrSvvzn4_0JrKKEZExUXApkUnIdQtFboVGq428GFF0rR9uPeuajVFXRCstpWJKEHFp67WpTuywHVvA3Q6zYCr60DwM_o/s400/rihanna+shorts1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 350px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhET6i4n1Sm_REs3s4AEQKS_OKlHIfFWpCOPhIYbE-JDSC1qcwuF4ZpcX1ga4IsbVV_R-LXCFUL_oK7pmI1ngoe9clWzdbq5O65lvjNK2uBKP7TuHlH2N0cz3IxejUbZJmtnQmSUb36uDs/s1600/rihanna+shorts2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595232680339068338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhET6i4n1Sm_REs3s4AEQKS_OKlHIfFWpCOPhIYbE-JDSC1qcwuF4ZpcX1ga4IsbVV_R-LXCFUL_oK7pmI1ngoe9clWzdbq5O65lvjNK2uBKP7TuHlH2N0cz3IxejUbZJmtnQmSUb36uDs/s400/rihanna+shorts2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 349px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: Rihanna wears his denim-printed metal mesh shorts on the cover of last month's Rolling Stone</span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">FERGIE</span></span><br />Working with stylists <a href="http://www.bcompleted.net/">B.
