Darling, let's talk tutus. It has been a truly extraordinary month for ballet inspired fashion. We have been positively *drenched* in tutus! Oh, the colour! The shape! The sheer volume! Truly it was an absolute joy to observe such a dazzling display of tutus on and off the stage.
Fabulous Fashion Favourites
- The "Marguerite" tutu from Dior - What a stunning concoction! This divine ensemble was presented at the couture show and features delicate tiers of tulle in the palest, most romantic of pinks, trimmed with pearls and a dazzling diamond motif that simply sparkles! It is the perfect marriage of whimsical and glamorous! I've already booked a viewing for next week and have pre-ordered my Dior ballet flats for the occasion!
- The "Chantilly" tutu - It's always a delight to witness Chanel's interpretation of the ballet classic. And this season did not disappoint. We were treated to a luxurious and intricate tulle number, featuring layers of Chantilly lace with delicate floral embellishments. The effect was both delicate and decidedly "high society"! This is a masterpiece for the serious collector of ballet fashion, darling.
- I cannot leave out the "Flamenco" tutu from the utterly captivating Valentino collection, featuring fiery scarlet, black and golds for an exotic and luxurious twist! The dramatic flare and tiered layers, are certainly not for the faint-hearted - this one is positively bold, fiery, and daring - quite the statement piece!
- Finally, for an absolutely breathtaking modern take on a ballet-inspired silhouette, Viktor & Rolf provided a whimsical and daring exploration of the tutu. Their use of textures and colours, along with surprising sculptural elements created truly daring pieces that will definitely provoke debate - you will either adore it or detest it! Just the sort of daring flair I like to see!
What a simply magnificent month! It simply proves that the tutu continues to be an enduring symbol of fashion elegance and grace, inspiring a fresh perspective every season. Darling, this year promises to be divine for ballet-inspired fashion!
