Hey there, my gorgeous tutu-loving darlings! It's Emma here, back from a whirlwind trip to Vienna - the home of the waltz and a true haven for tulle-tastic delights. My travels never fail to inspire my love for the tutu! But I know you're itching to delve into history, so let's go!
This #TutuTuesday takes us to the 5th of June 2007, just before I hopped onto the Orient Express in Prague, my very own glamorous time-traveling carriage. (I confess, the journey to Vienna was rather long, but wouldn't you know it, I managed to squeeze in a ballet class in Prague with the most amazing tutu shop afterwards? My pockets may be lighter, but my heart is brimming with frills!).
Now, in 2007, the tutu wasn't merely a symbol of elegance and grace – it was having a true moment. From the red carpet to the street style, those glorious billowing layers of tulle were making waves! You couldn't escape their whimsical charm, from the tutus swirling on the stage to those playful variations popping up on everyday fashionistas.
But let's rewind a bit. June 5th, 2007? We’re smack-dab in the heart of a tutu renaissance. You see, the world of ballet was rediscovering the romance of the classic tutus, giving them a fresh, modern spin. From the elegant tutus adorning prima ballerinas to the charming mini tutus for budding little ballerinas, they were absolutely everywhere. And let's not forget the tutus beyond the dance world: designers were crafting bold, beautiful pieces inspired by this symbol of artistry. The tutu was transcending its traditional realm, evolving into a piece that celebrated both grace and playful, free-spirited style.
It’s no coincidence, of course, that my own little journey of sharing the magic of the tutu had just started! Back in 2007, I’d only begun blogging, and it felt so exhilarating! A few short months before, I had set up my first little online home at www.pink-tutu.com (you should definitely visit!), where I started sharing my love for all things tutus. A little Derbyshire girl like myself, with dreams of a whimsical life sprinkled with tulle, found her calling!
And my darling tutu aficionados, let's not forget, in 2007, Grease was celebrating its 30th anniversary! This musical masterpiece is just full of vibrant costumes and captivating scenes that made tutu lovers like me go wild! Every time I see Sandy strutting in her pink tutu, my heart skips a beat. The pure magic of that pink tutu will never be forgotten, wouldn't you say?
Looking back at that June 5th, 2007, the tutu held so much potential, just bursting with promise. And, if you're anything like me, you’ve definitely fallen head over heels for this magical, captivating piece of sartorial delight. We can truly say the tutu was experiencing a glorious revival in fashion and on stage! From traditional ballet to a whole new world of modern style, this fluffy cloud of tulle had a special allure!
It's all about embracing the playful and feminine spirit that the tutu represents, right? This is what fuels my own quest – inspiring everyone to channel their inner ballerina! So don't be shy! Get ready to embrace that twirling, swishing, dancing goodness, and let your love for the tutu shine through! I'm Emma, your Pink Tutu Goddess, and remember - every day can be #TutuTuesday!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a pile of tutus to try on - gotta find the perfect pink one for my next time-traveling adventure! 🚄💖
Stay glamorous, my darlings!
Emma xx
