When Ballet and Fashion Come Together

Thank you to Diana and Pretty Pretty Paper for introducing me to this article!

The English National Ballet asked some of the world's top fashion designers to design their own tutus. 
Brilliant, I say.  
Harper's Bazaar covered the story and had these lovely photos to share on their website





A tutu with a tee?
I love it! (No more corset, haha!)

Aww.you are so sweet! Thanks, sweetie and those tutus are so dreamy. They totally blew me away! Have a great day:)

Ana Degenaar said...

I truly love that last shot. It made my day.

What brilliant and creative designs ... and how it made me yearn. When I was three, I longed and longed to be a ballet dancer, but I did not have the opportunity, so I forever dream and love to watch.
This post made my day, too.
