The ultimate Ballet-inspired Fashion: September 2004
Oh darling, September has brought with it a delightful array of ballet-inspired fashion, from ethereal gowns that swirl like a ballerina’s pirouette to chic little numbers that hint at the elegance of pointe shoes. We are simply smitten!
Of course, no discussion of ballet-inspired fashion can ignore the iconic tutu, a garment that epitomizes both grace and playfulness. This month we’ve seen a plethora of interpretations, ranging from the ultra-classic to the utterly daring.
- At Chanel’s couture show, Karl Lagerfeld reimagined the tutu as a whimsical, tiered skirt of tulle, delicate and voluminous, with an ethereal quality that captured the spirit of a ballerina mid-flight.
- Meanwhile, Vivienne Westwood’s rebellious take on the tutu was all about raw, deconstructed edges, layers of black netting, and a touch of punk rock chic. We absolutely adore this statement piece!
- The trend was further embraced on the red carpet with stars like Nicole Kidman and Kate Winslet both donning floor-length tulle gowns with a decidedly balletic feel. Simply divine!
- But what we are most excited about is how even our favourite high street stores have embraced the ballet-inspired look with beautifully crafted tulle skirts that give just a hint of whimsical charm to any outfit.
Darling, let’s not forget about the beautiful, minimalist, classic black or white leotards being seen on so many chic urban girls – this is definitely one for the most discerning, fashionable, young woman.
Whether you’re a seasoned ballet devotee or simply love the aesthetic of graceful movement, we guarantee that you’ll be finding something to delight in this month's offerings. It’s simply divine!
