Versace's catwalk collections were always spectacular and theatrical, and he found commissions (the first in 1982) for the creation of costumes for the theatre and ballet irresistible. These, in turn, clearly influenced his fashion. Some of Versace's most remarkable works were designed for choreographer Maurice Béjart. The creations met strict practical requirements and enhanced the dancer's movements, while offering a dynamic visual narrative. Versace was inspired by the great masters of fashion theatre, Christian Dior, Cristobal Balenciaga and Schiaparelli, for his greatest costumes of the theatre of life. Recognizing his loyalty to the performing arts he said: "For me theatre is liberation".
