Ballet's Best: Tutus and Trends of November
Darling, November was an absolute dream for ballet-inspired fashion! As the leaves were turning a lovely autumnal shade of crimson, we saw a flurry of elegant, graceful designs hitting the runway and our favourite shops.
Now, the ultimate ballet-inspired fashion must always revolve around the *pièce de résistance*, the tutu. This month saw a delightful explosion of tutus, but darling, some were simply better than others!
- A Touch of Vintage Romance: The most breathtaking design I witnessed came from the new collection of **House of Lavin**. Their tutu, in a pale blush satin, evoked the whimsical ballet of yore, but with a decidedly modern touch. A cascading layer of tulle with embroidered floral accents truly made this tutu a timeless treasure.
- A Modernist's Delight: **Atelier Veronique** delighted us with their **Bold, Geometric Ballet Collection** , featuring a sharp, structured, architectural tutu made of a stiff black net. This piece had an undeniable modern vibe, reminding us that ballet, like fashion, can constantly be reinventing itself.
- Goth and Glamorous: The darkly beautiful collection from **Marc Jacobs** included a stunning black tulle tutu, adorned with gothic lace detailing. This tutu, while daring and dramatic, had an unexpected element of femininity that was impossible to ignore.
It is thrilling to see designers embracing the ballet aesthetic, each interpreting it with their unique flair, from vintage elegance to edgy glamour. If this month is any indication, the trend for tutu-inspired pieces is only just getting started. So, my dears, get ready to dance!
