Moulin Rouge Costume

This menswear ensemble is a recreation of the costume for the Duke of Monroth in "Moulin Rouge! The Musical.” Originally designed by Catherine Zuber, variations of it have appeared in Broadway and West End productions of the musical. This costume consists of a pair of Victorian style trousers, a shawl-collar waistcoat, and a necklace. It includes bespoke tailoring techniques such as pad-stitching and features welt pockets and a button fly.
