My dears, it’s been a fabulous month for ballet fashion! As always, the tutus are where the heart of it all lies, and this month has seen some truly breathtaking designs.
The Hottest Trends
- **Romantic Revival:** Delicate, pastel hues were everywhere, with tulle so fine you could barely see it! Think ethereal pinks, whispery lavenders, and a hint of cloud-white. It's almost as if the dancers are dancing in clouds.
- **The Dark Side:** A bolder trend was seen with tutus in midnight blue and the most luxurious blacks. Think deep, luxurious textures and the sheen of satin ribbon against dramatic charcoal grey, evoking something sinister and thrilling.
- **The New Classic:** A modern twist on the classic tutu is making waves! Forget traditional layering - these streamlined silhouettes feature sleek, almost architectural forms with an emphasis on simplicity. Imagine a ballerina sculpted out of marble. Simply divine.
My personal favourites:
I have a particular fondness for the tutu worn in "Giselle" last week. That swirling, ivory dream was crafted with so many layers of shimmering tulle that it took my breath away. Imagine it floating on a warm summer night - divine. But for something with a real impact, look no further than the "Swan Lake" tutu I saw at the Royal Ballet. It was made in layers of jet-black tulle, each one a little darker than the last. I have a penchant for dark elegance, and this certainly ticked all the boxes.
All in all, February has been a month of absolute brilliance in the world of ballet fashion. Keep an eye on those tutus, darling, you’ll never know what fabulousness they may hold!
