Fashion, like music, is a language. And the artists chosen as this year's best-dressed know how to make a statement. Whether on the red carpet or the concert stage, at photo shoots or performing an operatic role, each, in his/her own way, is breathing new life into classical music's often ossified conventions. One look at this list of exciting performers from around the world, and there's no need to fear that the genre is dead. Quite to the contrary. Enjoy!
