Kylie
Minogue Inspired By
Catwalk
Fashions
Kylie
Minogue
is happy to be back in
show business and will
wear her trademark
glittery outfits on her
forthcoming tour, she
told Reuters in one of
her first public
appearances since she
recovered from breast
cancer.
In
an interview after a
Dolce
&
Gabbana
fashion show, the
Australian was reserved
about the state of her
health but joked about
her love for extravagant
clothes and preparations
for her Showgirl
Homecoming
concerts.
Wearing
a tight leopard-print
dress, her hair still
short after
chemotherapy, Kylie
Minogue looked radiant
if a little
pale.
"All
I want to say is that to
be here three, four
years after last time -
personally, I'm just
thrilled to be here and
to be with guys I know
and love, and to be
creative again, to be
inspired, and dazzled by
everything on that
runway," she said,
sitting on a sofa
between designers
Stefano Gabbana and
Domenico
Dolce.
The
38-year-old said she was
working with the
designers on three
outfits for her tour and
felt particularly
inspired by the
multi-coloured,
sequinned floating
dresses and trouser
suits seen on the
catwalk.
Dolce
& Gabbana threw a
disco extravaganza with
crystal-encrusted,
embroidered, swirly
gowns with billowing
sleeves and combinations
of dresses and trouser
suits.
"If
there ever was an
opportunity to wear
these clothes it's on
stage," Kylie Minogue
said. "Well, I need to
control myself not to
wear those kinds of
things at a dinner
party. But perhaps I
shouldn't show restraint
and just wear it anyway,
floating around in a
pantsuit - the one from
the show."
Gabbana
said they were
discussing tight, sexy
outfits for the tour
later this year. The
three already worked
together on outfits for
previous
concerts.
"It's
nice to work with people
you've got a history
with," Kylie
said.
Kylie
Minogue was diagnosed
with breast cancer in
2005 and underwent
surgery and
chemotherapy.
Her
tour was put on hold as
a result of her illness
and she will restart it
with concerts in
November in her home
country.
"So
be careful - she's
back," Gabbana
said.
