Runway Inspiration: Ballet

As a former dancer, I'm always drawn to clothing that reminds me of my days on stage. Blush pink, ruffles, tulle, feathers, sequins, lace, rhinestones, ankle wrap shoes....the list could go on and on. When looking at the latest Spring 2014 RTW runway shows, I noticed a few outfits that looked very ballet inspired to me. What do you think of my picks - do they remind you of ballerinas or am I the only one?

Tocca

Nina Ricci

Rochas


Guy Laroche

Martin Grant

Alberta Ferretti

Elie Saab

Temperley London

Moschino Cheap & Chic

Oscar de la Renta

  1. I LOVE that Rocha's white tea length tulle skirt. I feel like you are slowly turning me more feminine and have me buying ballerina inspired items and even pastel pink! Thanks for being such an inspiration!

  12. Oh my gosh. So overwhelmingly pretty! I am 100% with you on the stage look. I especially love anything that has that Victorian/1800 harlequin look. Give me lace, petticoats, tulle any day :P
