Darling, it's been a simply splendid month for ballet-inspired fashion! The spring collections are in full swing, and what better way to celebrate than with a touch of the elegant and ethereal?
I've been flitting about from one fashion house to the next, and it seems the tutu is back in a big way! And I don't just mean those voluminous, multi-layered tutus that you'd see on a prima ballerina in Swan Lake.
Oh no, darling, this season's tutus are much more subtle, and surprisingly wearable! Here are my top picks:
- At Chloé, the tutus were sculpted and ethereal. Think a swirling cloud of silk tulle, softened around the edges, giving that oh-so-dreamy feeling. The silhouettes were sleek and modern, allowing the tutus to be the statement piece.
- Vivienne Westwood, as always, has delivered something unexpected and audacious. She incorporated the tutu into her signature punk rock style, imagining a rebellious ballerina with shredded tulle and spikes! But it worked, darling! Her tutus had a rawness that screamed, “I dare you to notice me!"
- Alexander McQueen took a different route, showcasing delicate, whisper-thin tutus that evoked a Victorian era aesthetic. It was almost like the ghostly remnants of a ballet costume, giving the collection an eerie and haunting beauty. It was undeniably dramatic and perfect for an evening soiree!
There was so much variety this month. No matter what your style, darling, I guarantee you can find a way to work the tutu trend!
But remember, like every great ballerina, one must perfect their technique to really wear these looks, and what better place to do it than a dance class. My darling, nothing makes you feel quite as strong, beautiful and confident as the twirl of a tutu. I simply must add it to my daily regime!
