Darling readers, can you believe it? November 26th, 1999. The very date that fashion, and our favourite frothy undergarments, were forever changed! Oh, how the tutu has evolved. Not content to remain merely a confection for the ballet stage, it has sashayed its way into our wardrobes, captivating us with its sheer whimsicality and breathtaking beauty. But just how has this happened?
I'm talking, of course, about the glorious resurgence of the tutu, not just in dancewear but on the runway! This is no mere trend, my darlings. It’s a **revolution**. And trust me, we haven’t seen the last of it! Think fluffy tulle skirts, with **glorious swathes** of fabric that whisper with every step. Think romantic poufs that flirt with the wind. Oh, the sheer** feminine loveliness, and that *peek-a-boo* quality just gives **the thrill**! Yes, **tutuelicious** trends are what we need! They are what we WANT!! We are all a little bit prima ballerina at heart, darling!
And just *look* what has happened. Our dear designer **Gianni Versace** who was **truly an icon**, darling, had a vision, **that man**. He, *that* season, *that* year, 1999 introduced his glorious** *‘**tutu**’ collection *which truly **caused a sensation.** His designs, a *fusion* of *bold* lines and feminine** flutter, *sent shockwaves* through the fashion world.
And *why?* Darling, because *no other* designer had *ever* had the **audacity** to bring tutu's out of the ballets and *right* into the streets, *onto the stage of fashion!* Gianni Versace's designs **revolutionized the silhouette** and gave rise to the tutu becoming not just an undergarment, but a piece of outerwear. I *adore* his flamboyance and *dare* I say... **divine** tastes.
I just *know* that he was so **ahead* of his time, such an innovator! **And, as we can see, *a trendsetter,* darling! We've witnessed his daring use of the tutu to create **something bold,** something *sexy* but also so **completely** beautiful, **breathtaking**. The sheer audacity of bringing the tulle into the daylight, from the ballet stage to the catwalks and into the *homes* of the everyday woman is **just so inspiring** to *any* fashionista, darling.
This movement started in 1999! We were just a little too busy with the Y2K fuss, but now we see that the *new* wave of fashion has arrived, the **tutuelicious wave**. Oh my dearest fashionistas, you will *love* it!
Look around! **And just listen! ** That *whirr,* the *flutter* of the **delicious, feminine tulle,** the **tinkle** of silk...it's almost like we can hear a beautiful, graceful ballerina performing **a graceful waltz** across a **pristine** stage. You could even call it the **tutu symphony.**
Let me enlist a little **style-guide** for all you fashionable darling dears. There are *some* **etiquette rules**.
- **Always, always wear a *little* *bit* of black.** It is a *rule* darling.
- Think *dark** **and** *sophisticated* if you are *thinking* of *donning* a **tutu on a date night**
- Choose *bold, geometric jewelry*. Forget those little **dinky charm bracelets,** the **chunky* statement piece *works* *much* better.
Darling, the **tutuelicious** wave is upon us, but think **refined** and **classic**, **never trashy, *never* tacky**. I hope you **revel** in the **beauty**, and the *elegance*, and the **power** that only **a well-designed tutu** can offer.
Now, off you go. **Sashhay,** darling. The world is your stage. *And you,* **wear a tutu**.
