Oh darling, the ballet world is certainly giving us something to sashay about this month! It's all about the tutu, darling, and let me tell you, it's more than just a dance floor essential. The designers are finally realising its full potential and taking this classic silhouette to new heights (literally!) It's like they've opened their little black books to the world of fashion, taking inspiration from the most beautiful ballerinas in the world. But more importantly, they've done it without looking dowdy or cliché.
Here are a few highlights that really tickled my fancy this month:
- Firstly, let’s give it up for **Carolina Herrera’s spring 2018 collection!** Oh my, this collection took the classic tutu to a whole new level. Think dramatic, voluminous tiers in sumptuous silk with delicate floral embroidery. A breath of fresh air, a true celebration of femininity, with a little hint of ballerina magic, darlings. The colour palette was dreamy – peaches, blush pinks, a touch of lavendar – divine!
- For a more contemporary take, look no further than **Simone Rocha's recent offering.** She’s transformed the tutu into something far edgier. She’s added an interesting, asymmetrical twist – you see those long, cascading layers at the front and the cropped back? It gives the whole thing a touch of a whimsical yet daring spirit, very "I’m not afraid to be myself” – love it! The addition of the leather jackets just elevated the whole look to a new level of coolness – I simply adore it.
- And then there's **Givenchy’s Fall/Winter 2018 Collection** for a truly daring interpretation! Riccardo Tisci went with a darker aesthetic – a tutu that's more fierce and alluring. His take features a tighter silhouette, with sheer, feathery layers that move gracefully with each step. There’s an element of a vintage vibe with a modern twist that I find absolutely irresistible, darling. It’s just the right mix of romantic and edgy. This one’s definitely for the more daring souls amongst us!
So, there you have it. If you’re looking for an inspiring update to your wardrobe, embrace the magic of the tutu. And remember, darling, when you wear a tutu, you are never too old or too young, too thin or too curvaceous. It's a statement that says, "I'm ready to twirl and inspire. And yes, I look damn good doing it!”
