Tutu’s and Point Shoes

Following the major ballet exhibition, the Ballet Russes and the release of the film ‘Black Swan’ starring Natalie Portman, a wave of ballet inspired fashion has hit the shops!

 The dark ballet film has influenced designers such as Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, Giles, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel and Stella McCartney with tutu shapes in netting, lace and chiffon.

Feminine styles influence my own work as well, especially gorgeous draping and pleated chiffon.
