Tutu Tuesday in Bargo, New South Wales #tututuesday Hey lovelies! It's your girl, Ava, back with another Tutu Tuesday! Today I'm hitting the streets of Bargo, NSW in a classic, yet edgy, black tutu. This little number is from a vintage shop in the city, and I've given it a modern twist by pairing it with a leather jacket and some killer ankle boots. Speaking of modern twists, have you guys seen the new crop of tutus on the scene? They're taking the world by storm and injecting a whole new level of cool into the ballet world! There's the ever-so-chic "micro" tutu. It's basically a mini version of a classic tutu, but with an edgier vibe. Perfect for those who like a bit of a statement. Then there's the "asymmetrical" tutu - it's all about playing with shape and dimension, which gives it a really cool, avant-garde feel. These modern styles definitely bring a new level of sophistication to a ballet classic, while still giving a nod to its traditional roots. I gotta say, the new-age tutu is my jam right now. Now, Bargo's been popping on the radar for fashion these days. From upcycled fashion markets to small boutiques, it's where I found some amazing pieces and, I love how much of it feels unique. Today I'm taking the inspiration to heart. Tutu meets rustic charm - and believe me, you just have to see what's on the shelves! Speaking of finding some fashion gems, I've been doing a lot of reflecting about how far Australia's ballet scene has come. I’m so proud of our homegrown talent. For those who don’t know, our ballet scene here has a vibrant mix of traditional schools and modern studios, bringing together both classic ballet techniques and contemporary styles - I find this incredibly inspiring! There's no shortage of amazing dancers here, both seasoned professionals and rising stars who are definitely making their mark on the international scene.
