Oh, darlings, the new year has kicked off with a flurry of delightful sartorial delights! The fashion world has clearly taken its inspiration from the elegant world of ballet, and weâre all the better for it. This monthâs highlights have been all about the **tutu**, that exquisite emblem of graceful femininity.
On the catwalksâŚ
- Diorâs Spring/Summer collection was a true ode to the ballerina. The soft tulle skirts were simply divine - think airy, ethereal whispers of pastel pinks and baby blues, all swishing and swirling with a captivating charm. It was almost impossible to look away.
- Over at Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld offered a more edgy take on the tutu, creating mini versions of this classic dancewear with a daring street-chic attitude. It's perfect for the contemporary, fashion-forward woman who loves a touch of the dramatic, but can still wear it on the go.
And beyondâŚ
- The new âEn Pointeâ collection at Topshop is a real winner. Think bold colour combinations, sequins and chic sportswear with a touch of tulle for that little bit of âballet magicâ at affordable prices.
- There's even a âSwan Lakeâ tutu-inspired design popping up in the latest online shops, complete with feather detailing - an exquisitely dramatic, show-stopping option for your next special event.
Whether youâre going for a delicate whisper or a full-on statement, it's undeniable that the tutu is officially back, and itâs looking oh-so-very stylish! And, as always, when the spotlight falls on ballet in this way, it brings joy to my fashion-loving heart.
