Oh darling, September has certainly been a month for sartorial delights! We saw some absolutely fabulous fashion moments that had us twirling with joy, inspired by the elegant grace of our beloved ballet.
**Tutus, Tutus Everywhere!**
- The **classic Romantic tutu**, that cloud of ethereal tulle, has been a firm favourite amongst the fashion crowd. The Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2012 collection brought this iconic look back with a touch of contemporary edge, layering delicate chiffon over diaphanous tulle. We simply adore the juxtaposition of soft femininity and sharp tailoring!
- There's also a definite movement towards the **modern tutu** which, darling, isn't simply a froufrou wisp. It's got an athletic silhouette, sleek lines, and is perfect for the active fashionista. Balenciaga nailed this trend with their sleek black tulle dresses. Chic and edgy - what's not to love?
- But our favourite look this month was the ** tutu inspired separates**. We're thinking skirts with a slight flare, billowing tulle blouses, and the ubiquitous bodice - that beautiful, boned corseted silhouette that channels the elegant line of a ballerina.
We adore how these fashionistas have captured the spirit of the tutu: both delicate and strong, romantic and modern. It truly is a timeless symbol of grace and beauty.
