Darling, have you heard? The world of ballet is in a complete spin today! Yes, you read that right. It’s all gone completely **tututi**!**
The Royal Ballet Company in Covent Garden have unveiled a radical new look – an **entire collection of tutu designs by Alexander McQueen**!** Yes, you read that correctly - **the late, great fashion genius is responsible for this tutu transformation**, his archive designs given a new lease of life on the famous ballerinas.
I know what you’re thinking, darlings – how could McQueen’s iconic edgy fashion aesthetic possibly translate to the world of classical ballet? The answer? **Stunningly!** The designs have gone from his iconic catwalk creations to ethereal tulle dreams. The classic tutu has been given an absolute **makeover!** The **exquisite details and meticulous craftsmanship** of the McQueen designs bring a level of sophistication to the ballet stage, while the use of **dramatic black and ivory hues and textures** will keep the audience at the edge of their seats! And there isn't a fluffy pink tutu in sight!
There have been rumours of a new partnership brewing between the fashion and ballet worlds for some time, of course, but nobody ever expected McQueen’s genius to be injected into this world of such classic artistry. However, the reaction has been electrifying - a whirlwind of whispers and gasps in the ballet studios, and online! It seems the **McQueen legacy has blown the fashion and ballet worlds away**. It is truly **fashion ballet artistry at its finest!**
Here's the inside scoop, darlings! I managed to **squeeze into the rehearsal room** myself - imagine, my little body in that cramped space! - and managed to **scoop the low-down** for all you **fashionista devotees of ballet**! I've had a sneak peek at some of the stunning new designs. I can't say anything specific yet - **absolute secrecy until the opening night!**
So what to expect from the McQueen-tastic **tututi** collection? It appears that McQueen's signature use of fabrics and textures will play a huge part - lace, netting, feather-light tulle, feathers! - the **drapes and frills are all perfectly dramatic** but still **beautifully balanced** so that the graceful ballerina is free to dance! And what about the **colour palettes**? Prepare for a world of stunning contrasts with rich black contrasted against ivory and **stunning shades of champagne and shimmering pewter**. We even spotted some delicate shimmering silver! This **isn't your grandmother's ballet**, darlings. It’s **fashion, drama, artistry - and a serious sprinkle of magic!**
