So last night I was inspired to search the internet for beautiful ballet costumes. I have always loved ballet imagery and I have to admit that I secretly long for a pair of blush pink pointe shoes even though my dancing experience ended around the age of seven. I just find everything about the ballet so magical. And it represents to me everything that is wonderful about women: beauty paired with strength, grace paired with discipline. And seriously, the clothes! Oh the clothes...
So of course I had to share the gorgeous tutu designed by Karl Lagerfeld for The Dying Swan. I, of course, adore the feathers....
And that led me to the most divine of ballerinas, the incomparable Anna Pavlova.
And no offense to Mr. Lagerfeld, but I think Pavlova's Swan costume is a thing of beauty beyond improvement. Simply ethereal perfection...

I always found so much inspiration in Ballet! I even created a hat for my second collection in the shape of the ballerina's tutu dress. If you go back in posts in my Blog you will find a post I did on Anna Pavlova and the inspiration of Ballet. We share the same passion for this gracefull art. :-))) Wishing you wonderful and happy Easter!:-)
Thanks so much Rachel...I'm glad I'm not the only one drooling over these pretties!
Anya, I LOVE your post on Pavlova...such an amazing life story of someone truly devoted to their craft. And I adore your tutu hat...so whimsical and fun! I love it when fashion has a sense of humor.
Happy Easter to both of you lovely ladies! Thanks for stopping by!
Hope Ava
