Tutus in Vogue: A Whirlwind of Fashion in July
July has been a whirlwind of fabulousness, darling, with the summer season bringing with it an explosion of colour and style on and off the stage. It’s been truly inspiring to see the fashion world embracing the essence of ballet and translating it into modern, wearable trends.
From the couture houses to the high street, tulle has been the fabric of the moment. The humble tutu, once a staple of the stage, has truly found its place in the fashion arena. We’ve seen a variety of interpretations: the playful, whimsical pouf skirts paired with delicate blouses, creating an air of ethereal beauty, to the sleek, modern A-line tutu skirts, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to evening wear.
- The Valentino Haute Couture collection featured exquisite variations on the classic tutu, with ethereal layers of silk and lace, perfect for a fairytale evening.
- Alexander McQueen, ever the visionary, created a stark contrast with his dark, dramatic interpretations, using heavy fabrics and intricate embellishments, reimagining the tutu for a contemporary audience.
- For the more accessible trends, Topshop and Zara have embraced the tutu silhouette, creating budget-friendly alternatives that are ideal for adding a dash of ballerina chic to any outfit.
The summer months have certainly embraced the ballerina spirit, but the impact of this trend is likely to last far beyond July. Whether it’s the subtle allure of a tulle skirt or the whimsical femininity of a delicately beaded ballet flat, this is a fashion moment we’ll be savoring long after the summer heat fades.
One thing’s for sure, darling: the world is falling head over heels for the ballet-inspired style! ?
