Delta Teams Up With Australian Designers To Create Her 'Believe Again' Tour Costumes

The 'Believe Again' tour is Goodrem's first live tour in three years with multiple shows in a number of cities reflecting the album's recent accolade as the Highest Selling Album at the 2008 ARIA Awards.

During her stellar career the proudly Australian Goodrem has forged relationships with many of Australia's leading creative forces, and in this instance with some of the country's top fashion talents. Designers Bowie, Lisa Ho, J'Aton and Manning Cartell have worked closely with Goodrem to create four signature looks for her concert tour, with Bowie also creating the looks for each of the band members.

Delta Goodrem said: "One of the biggest and most amazing aspects of going on tour is the artistic process. Taking on the role of Creative Director has been an inspirational, challenging yet rewarding and a motivating experience."

"It's an honour to work with each of these enormously talented Australian fashion designers. I have had a long association with Lisa Ho, Bowie and J'Aton who are so special to me" Added Goodrem.

Bowie, creator of the Opening Gown and 'Queen of The Night' outfits said: "After I received the song list from Delta I felt that I would love to design the opening & closing pieces for her 'Believe Again' Tour. The Opening dress, for 'Believe Again', was inspired by the music video of the same name. I tried to draw synonimity between the meaning in the lyrics and the perfect colour to represent them. Blue was perfect for the opening and Delta loved the fact that the colour represents Trust, Belief & Security. The sequins are like a light from the dark.

"'Queen of the Night' is the Closing segment for Delta's show. For this segment I wanted to create something that makes a huge impact. The colours chosen are white and silver representing Purity. It's sexy, but has a pure sexiness, shown in my choice of white Ostrich Feathers for the wrap skirt with silver sequined mini dress. Delta had a sketch of this feel for the show in her tour book and I was happy to work with her in bringing it to life."

Lisa Ho, creator of 'Hippy Boho Delta' said: "Delta approached me to collaborate with her for a modern fashionable jumpsuit within the intimate acoustic segment of the show. My aim was to capture her natural authentic spirit within the design. We selected an exotic print from my collections and embellished the jumpsuit with colourful stones to give it a magical edge on stage and I love what Delta has done with her head wear for the outfit. Delta and I have such a special connection and itâ??s a true joy to work together." Lisa has created many looks for Delta in recent years including the breathtaking 2003 ARIA Awards pink dress.

Anthony Pittorino, J'Aton, creators of the 'Fantasy Glam Rock world' outfit said: "Delta for us signifies all that is innately profound in our respective industries - her infectious energy was the soul basis of our Fantasy Glam Rock inspired creation. With its strong couture presence of baroque embellishments contrasted with its sheer delicacy. It parallels our respective industries."

"It's the fusion of the heart and a journey shared when we get to create with another Artist. Delta is an exceptional Woman who possess a gift within, that we are so blessed to share this journey with." Added Pittorino.

Most recently J'Aton created Goodrem's 2008 Carols In The Doman stunning performance outfit.

Cheryl Manning. Manning Cartell, creators of the 'Delta Finale' outfit said: "This is the first time we have worked with Delta and it was an honour to be asked to create the finale outfit for her national tour. For the look, we went all bling and rock chic with a relaxed edgy elegance. Tough, slim legged black pants form a narrow silhouette and are paired back with a stunning hand beaded gold jacket - a definite showstopper.

Australia's hottest shoe brand - Peep Toe Shoes have supplied their latest designs for Delta to wear on stage complementing all her tour outfits. The hugely popular Australian jewellery brand DIVA have provided Delta with a variety of their range for the 'Believe Again' tour.

A second salute to Australian fashion designers comes with their inclusion in a video montage which is projected during Goodrem's performance of 'Queen of The Night'. The video sees Goodrem parade down a catwalk, clad once again in Australian designs including outfits by Kirrily Johnston, Rachel Gilbert and Woodford & Co. Delta is also seen in the video in some of her own vintage dresses from her own collection.

Delta's beauty needs for the tour have been supplied by renowned international beauty brands; OPI the world's leading hand and nail care brand in the professional market and St Tropez the ultimate tan in the salon or at home.

Believe Again is Goodrem's first national tour in over three years. The much anticipated concert will see the talented musician up close and personal with her full band performing all her popular hits from her celebrated career as well as her songs from her current hit album Delta.

The Believe Again tour follows a successful year for Goodrem, who in 2008 took out the ARIA for Highest Selling Album Delta and was awarded Best International Artist Australia at the 2008 World Music Awards.

Tickets for the Delta Goodrem 'Believe Again' Tour went on sale in August 2008 and due to popular demand, Dainty Consolidated Entertainment and Cussons Pure announced extra Delta Goodrem 'Believe Again' Tours in Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle and Wollongong.
