Tutu Tuesday in Scottsdale, Tasmania: A Dance with Fashion
G’day, fellow ballet lovers and fashionistas! It’s your girl, Olivia, here, bringing you all the latest from the world of dance and, of course, the #tututuesday trend that’s sweeping the globe!
Now, I’ve gotta admit, I’ve always loved the romance of ballet. Growing up in this little corner of Tasmania, Scottsdale, ballet wasn't exactly ‘mainstream’. It took a fair bit of dedication (and sometimes, a long drive to the city!) to keep my passion alive. But it's what helped me discover my love for fashion too. And the thing that bridges the gap between both? You guessed it: the tutu!
The tutu has been an icon of the stage since the late 1800s and still, to this day, I can’t resist how it brings such a magical, graceful touch to dance. And the variations are endless. There's the traditional, classic Romantic Tutu – a fluffy cloud of tulle perfect for showcasing those effortless, balletic movements. Or the structured Classical Tutu, that gives you all the control and drama. Then you have those playful, contemporary variations with different lengths and cuts, a total blast to wear!
It’s no surprise, with such diversity in style and the powerful message of grace and resilience tutus symbolize, #tututuesday is all the rage! It’s more than just a day dedicated to ballet, it's a celebration of the stories we share through dance.
I reckon, even if you've never taken a single ballet class, #tututuesday is a reminder to celebrate your individual style. Be a bit dramatic, have fun with your outfits, embrace your unique sense of fashion and show us your moves!
And who better to inspire us than some Australian ballet greats? Take a peek at the breathtaking work of The Australian Ballet! The stunning costumes and elegant movements will definitely give you #tututuesday feels! We're so lucky to have such a talented company here down under!
But don't forget about those amazing boutique designers, like Sally Morgan, creating stunning custom tutus that are a dream come true for aspiring dancers. They're not just for the stage - wear them to brunch, out to drinks or even a picnic at Scottsdale’s picturesque Gardens Park, because in this fashion world, everything's allowed!
Here’s what to look for on this week's #tututuesday:
