Bonjour, mes chères danseuses! It's Tuesday, which means it's time to get our twirls on and explore the wonderful world of tutus!
I'm Emma, your resident pink tutu enthusiast and self-proclaimed tutu historian. Today, I'm travelling back in time, all the way to June 4th, 2019 - what a whirlwind of a year that was! (Honestly, who knew a global pandemic was just around the corner?) But don't worry, I've packed my trusty travel tutu and a suitcase full of pink positivity to help us navigate this fashion adventure!
So, what was happening in the tutu world back in 2019? Let's put on our imaginary ballet shoes and step back in time…
2019: A Year of Tutu Extravaganza
In the realm of ballet, 2019 was truly spectacular. The year started with a flurry of fantastic performances. I saw an incredible production of Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House in London - the costumes were simply divine! Remember the shimmering, diaphanous tutus for the swan maidens? They were absolutely breathtaking, like whispers of silk on the stage. It's performances like these that make me swoon.
Over in New York, the Metropolitan Opera held a grand production of "The Sleeping Beauty." I must have been captivated by the beautiful tutus in that show - so intricately beaded and sparkling! Every ballerina looked like a fairytale princess. And who can forget the enchanting story? It was truly magical.
But 2019 wasn't just about ballet, oh no! Fashion in general was going through a fabulous transformation. And the tutu, dear reader, was at the heart of it. Remember when designers like Moschino and Christian Siriano were sending models down the runway in playful, reimagined versions of the classic tutu? It was such a thrilling experimentation with shape and style. Suddenly, tutus were popping up everywhere, from fashion magazines to street style blogs, a delightful evolution in how we approach fashion! Tutus were no longer confined to the stage; they had found their place in the real world!
June 4th, 2019: A Snapshot in Time
And now, we’ve arrived at June 4th, 2019. What was the world of ballet and tutus like on this particular Tuesday?
Well, in the UK, we were basking in the summer sun, with the scent of freshly cut grass filling the air. A warm breeze was rustling through the trees, and everyone seemed a bit lighter and brighter, just like a pink tutu.
On this day, the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow hosted a gala performance of "La Bayadère". They say it was absolutely spectacular, filled with colour, energy and a symphony of beautiful tutus. Can you imagine all the gorgeous detail of those tutus, the swirling fabrics and the twinkling embellishments? It’s no wonder it captivated the audience.
As for me, I'm pretty sure I was sipping on a refreshing iced tea in a lovely floral print sundress, my thoughts turning towards the next ballet class, all the while plotting and planning ways to encourage my fellow fashionistas to embrace their inner tutu diva!
Embrace Your Tutu:
Now, as I travel back to the present, I want to remind you: it's not about perfecting a pirouette or nailing a grand jeté. It’s about letting your inner ballerina shine! Embrace the spirit of dance and wear that tutu with confidence, in all its whimsical glory!
Do you have any fond memories of the tutus you wore back in 2019? Perhaps you danced in a beautiful costume for a school recital or saw a show that blew you away? Share your stories with us! Let's keep the magic of the tutu alive, in every colour and style imaginable!
And don't forget to join me next week for another delightful trip through time as we discover the amazing history of the tutu!
Love and Twirls,
Emma
