Ballet Style Watch: March 2008
Oh, darling! This month has been positively bursting with fashion inspiration! The ballet world has truly been a whirlwind of tulle and silk. Here's the scoop on the absolute hottest trends, starting with the pièce de résistance: the tutu.
Tutus à la Mode:
- The Romantic Revival: It's all about those flowing, billowing skirts, in whisper-light fabrics like chiffon and tulle. Think dreamy pastels and ethereal layers. They're all the rage, with whispers of delicate florals thrown in for good measure.
- The Edgy Embrace: Not one to be confined by convention, the modern dancer is embracing asymmetry. Think off-centre bodices, single-strapped designs, and a dash of sheer, strategically placed mesh, giving a peek at the body. This daring yet graceful style has really shaken things up!
- A Touch of Noir: The Parisian influence is everywhere! Ballet-inspired ensembles are taking their cue from the City of Lights, with a smattering of black. We're seeing jet black tulle alongside deep velvet, creating a chic, darkly romantic effect.
- Colour Pops: Gone are the days of just white, black, and pink. This month, the runway was awash with vibrant hues! Bold, statement-making colours like emerald green and sapphire blue are turning heads and sparking conversation. Who knew ballet could be so adventurous?
Don't be shy, darling, these tutu-licious trends are definitely worth adding to your own wardrobe!
