Oh, darling! What a month for ballet-inspired fashion! It's been positively bursting with tulle and feather boas - I'm practically skipping to the bank! But let's talk tutus, shall we? We've seen the traditional, knee-length tutus perfectly reinterpreted by some of the big names, while others are playing with bold colours and asymmetric designs, oh so daring!
It’s all about the layers: Layers upon layers of chiffon and tulle - think billowing clouds, a ballerina’s dream come true, darling! We’ve seen them both on the catwalks and in street style. The classic, pleated ballerina look is still very much on trend, and there are some truly elegant numbers out there, with simple, understated chic, just begging to be twirled in, darling! But for a touch of rebellion, some designers have been pushing the boundaries of the classic shape, taking the tutu beyond its ballerina origins, offering exciting variations - asymmetric skirts, dramatic flounces and, even, daringly short, flirty styles that hint at the dance.
- Speaking of short, Chanel presented an exceptional range of short tutus with beautifully structured bodices and feather embellishments. You practically felt the ballet steps - très chic!
- The iconic Dior did their usual exquisite work, pairing luxurious tulle with beautiful embroidery. I loved the use of contrasting tones, a real nod to the stage. It’s a look that’s undeniably chic and powerful!
The key, darlings, is to wear a tutu with confidence and just the right amount of swagger! Think of it like the ultimate statement piece. It’s your moment to shine, to express yourself - to make an impact, and dare I say, steal the show! Don't be afraid to embrace the playful, flirty side, to let loose! A touch of glitter is most definitely welcomed – a sprinkle of sparkle - never hurt!
