Oh darling, June has been positively bursting with sartorial delights inspired by our beloved ballet. The Spring/Summer collections have been simply divine, a veritable tour de force of tulle and taffeta, bringing the elegant grace of the dance to our everyday wardrobes.
From the Pointe to the Pavement
- Chanel's offerings were simply *divine*. Coco would be *thrilled* to see her signature tweed reimagined as the **sash** around the waist of a **billowing white tutu**, evoking a celestial vision, a ballerina just before taking flight.
- Then there's McQueen. *Darling*, Alexander knows how to *captivate* and **play with the dark side** of the danse macabre. Imagine a **blood red** **tutu**, with **layers of shimmering tulle** creating an almost theatrical **darkness**.
- Dior, meanwhile, gave us the **classic** look we adore - think delicate pastel pinks and buttery yellows. Their **layered tutus** create a silhouette so **effortless and whimsical** - just *darling*.
This June, I think it's clear: the **tutu is making a *triumphant* return**. But this isn't your mother's, well, ***any* mother's**, ballet **fashion**. This isn't about fluffy, frilly costumes. This is about embracing **structure, precision, and of course, that glorious, effortless grace**, that ballet so **effortlessly** encapsulates.
*Now, darling, on with the show.*
