Fashion From The Stage To The Street
Darling, the May fashion scene was positively positively *en pointe* with the most divine inspirations straight from the ballet stage! Our favourite designers took the tutus, the bodices, the diaphanous fabrics and spun them into veritable sartorial masterpieces!
- The Tutu Takes Centre Stage: Gone are the days of frilly little tutu's just for ballerinas, dear. The *grande dame* of ballet wear took a commanding presence in May! Think exquisitely tailored tutu-inspired skirts by **Chanel**, cascading with tulle and lace. But if *couture* isn't quite your thing, darling, Fear not! **Zara** had some darling, budget-friendly interpretations with layers of chiffon and ruffled hemlines, positively perfect for cocktail parties.
- Romantic & Voluminous: There was a definite nod to the romantic ballet of the nineteenth century with those dreamy *pa de deux* and swoon-worthy tutus that stole the show!** Dior** had an ethereal, white dress with a sheer bodice and a voluminous skirt made for waltzing, darling, just like Swan Lake, but with a decidedly *je ne sais quoi* attitude!**
- Beyond The Tulle: But the beauty of ballet-inspired fashion, darlings, is that it transcends mere tutu replication! It's all about that feeling of effortless grace and elegance. And there was a *smorgasbord* of looks, just begging for a pirouette: delicate, ethereal bodices, diaphanous chiffon and satin, and sleek lines that hinted at a ballerina's lithe physique!
Oh my dear, there's simply no doubt, ballet will be the most influential source of fashion inspiration all year long. Prepare for a summer full of romance, sophistication and oh so chic movements! Just don't forget, darling, a true ballet aficionado needs not only to dance, but to *look* the part,
