#BEHIND THE DESIGN:
ES DEVLIN

"I study rap like                    I would Shakespeare"  

While few may know her name, millions know & love her work.

 

Meet Esmeralda “Es” Devlin, the visionary stage and costume designer that has been elevating the experience of concerts since the early 2000's with her ingenious stage design.

Remember the 25-foot-tall jumbotron cubes that Kanye & Jay-Z stood atop on the Watch The Throne Tour

What about Ye’s 50-foot-tall mountain on the Yeezus Tour or more recently his floating hoverboard on the Saint Pablo Tour?

 Okay, okay...remember the jaw dropping 360-degree 70-foot-tall revolving LED screen that split apart to reveal acrobats mid-air for Queen Bey's Formation Tour?

That was all Es!

She truly has mastered the art of transforming music into interactive experiences by capturing the artist’s vision and articulating their story through engaging, electrifying and exhilarating visual treatments. This same mastery, along with her powerful ability to connect the artist & audience, is why Es has been entrusted by industry elite’s such as Adele, Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Lorde and The Weeknd, just to name a few. 

 

Although Es has gained enormous recognition from her work with DONDA, Es’s resume reaches far beyond the stages of musicians.  Most recently, she has impressed the world with captivating catwalks for Louis Vuitton, the vibrant 2016 Rio Olympics opening ceremony and a plethora of other masterpieces that leave viewers in an intoxicating trance of awe.
