#TutuTuesday Ballet Tutu History on 2013-02-05

Happy #TutuTuesday, darlings!

The wind is whipping through the streets of Paris, carrying the scent of fresh croissants and a hint of rain, but darling, let's not be downhearted! I’m snuggled up in my little Parisian flat with a cup of steaming chocolat chaud, enjoying the Parisian sunshine streaming through the window.

You know what truly makes me happy?

Tutus!

This week, I'm transporting you back to February 5th, 2013, a day etched in my fashion heart for a very special reason, my darlings!

So buckle up your pointe shoes and let's embark on a delightful journey through tutu time, shall we?

Ah, 2013, a year where tutus were truly taking centre stage! The Romantic Era of ballet was in full swing back then. Imagine frothy tulle skirts, wispy fabric swirling with every arabesque, and graceful tutus taking flight, quite literally!

You might remember the iconic "Swan Lake" performance back in 2013? Now that was pure ballet magic, don't you think? Those ethereal tutus, flowing and captivating, reminded us of the romantic beauty and grace of classical ballet. It was like watching a dream unfold right before our eyes.

And remember all those fantastic fashion designers incorporating tulle and tutus into their runway creations? From Vivienne Westwood’s eccentric masterpieces to Alexander McQueen's avant-garde pieces, fashion designers were completely smitten with the romantic flair of the tutu.

Oh, 2013! You were the year where tulle reigned supreme. Every time I look at those fabulous designs, my heart flutters!

Today, I find myself strolling through the chic streets of Paris, but earlier this morning, I was merrily bouncing down the cobblestones of London's Covent Garden, where I witnessed an absolutely dazzling ballet performance. Talk about a magical time warp!

The best part of being a time-travelling ballerina, besides getting to see all these amazing performances and shopping sprees, is being able to step into the heart of the city!

My time travels are generously funded by the enchanting performances I grace with my presence. From the opulent theatres of London to the dazzling Parisian ballet houses, my presence is as captivating as the tutus swirling onstage. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I've been blessed to see some extraordinary shows! Remember that breathtaking rendition of “Giselle” in London? Oh, those swirling white tutus and heart-wrenching choreography... the goosebumps, darlings, the goosebumps!

Then there's Paris, with its sophisticated elegance and mesmerizing beauty! I couldn’t resist visiting the stunning Palais Garnier. That gilded decor, paired with the passionate energy of a ballet performance… it's simply intoxicating.

And oh, the shopping, my darlings, the shopping! Every Parisian boutique with its tempting selection of colourful silks, delicate laces, and shimmering satin is a haven for any tutu-loving ballerina. I admit, it’s hard not to lose myself in those delightful fabric havens.

But now, back to our Tutu Tuesday, my darlings!

The vibrant history of tutus shows us how the humble garment can capture imagination, express emotions, and evoke memories. Whether it's the enchanting allure of ballet, the vibrant spectacle of the stage, or the exquisite elegance of fashion, tutus continue to dance their way into our hearts.

As we reflect on the history of the tutu and its evolution, we are reminded of its powerful symbolism. This garment is not merely an item of clothing but a canvas of expression, a testament to human creativity, and a reflection of evolving fashion trends.

So what's your favourite tutu moment from the world of ballet? Share your memories, darling, let’s spread the love for tutus!

And let's remember that wearing a pink tutu is the best way to bring a little whimsy and joy into the world! After all, if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that life is much more fun when you embrace your inner tutu princess.

Until next Tuesday, my darlings,

XOXO,

Emma
