Hello darlings! Welcome back to my little corner of the internet where pink is always in and tutus are the ultimate fashion statement! This month, Iām taking you all on a dazzling journey to 1934, a year that was bubbling over with new ideas in ballet fashion!
Before we step through the portal of time, let's take a moment to admire my trusty pink, sparkly, time-travelling leotard. Isnāt it magnificent? The sequins twinkle with each step I take, reflecting the era's shimmer and excitement, as it's all about capturing the magic of ballet's grace and allure!
Oh, how I love this pink! The colour just vibrates with joy and brings such a vibrance to all my leotards and tutus! Did I tell you about my latest collection? All soft and frothy with feathers and ribbons! Every tutu a dream, every leotard a whisper of movement! But today, weāre going back in time for some real fashion inspiration!
Time Travelling Through the Decades:
The magic in my leotard crackles, the familiar tingling feeling washing over me. A quick twirl to ensure my pink tutu is flowing majestically, then poof... I'm transported to 1934! This era was all about fluidity, freedom, and of course, elegance.
A Dance Through 1934's Fashion Landscape:
Right away, the excitement in the air is electric! The dance world was truly thriving, and the leotard was gaining popularity.
Remember, girls, the 1930s saw the arrival of the legendary ballet shoe by Capezio! Those flexible shoes revolutionised ballet techniques, and the leotard followed suit. Gone were the restrictive bodices and skirts! We were stepping into a world where the body could truly dance.
What to wear in 1934?: A ballerina's guide
I love seeing the styles here! In 1934, the dancers wore leotards with daringly long, graceful lines. You'd often see them adorned with lace trim and soft, flowing scarves. A bit more free and airy than the modern-day look, but equally captivating!
Now, let's talk tutus. The traditional white, romantic, full-skirted tutu, oh the dream! It was still the standard, a breathtaking symbol of ballet purity, floating beautifully across the stage. But there was also a distinct preference for soft pinks and baby blues! Just the colours that bring a joyful sparkle to my heart, too!
Remember, girls, ballet was entering its modern age! There was a fascination with sleek lines and flowing movement, much like my own vision for 'Pink Tutu' fashion! It's inspiring, isnāt it?
Inspiration for the Modern Dancer:
Iām already sketching a new collection in my mind! Perhaps Iāll do a 1930s revival. A bit of pink silk, some delicate laceā¦ oh, darling! Imagine, pink silk with subtle feather details and that flowing, dreamy tutu skirt, maybe even with a splash of 1930s sparkle? I might even include a little peekaboo back to add some playful sass!
Donāt worry, dear readers, the new collection will still hold on to my signature pink! A good fashion sense never truly goes out of style. Just as a leotard from 1934 holds a timeless grace, my own pink tutus hold a timeless flair. Itās all about mixing history and contemporary design for that fabulous pink look.
The Show Must Go On
On this day in 1934, a legendary ballet took centre stage at Sadler's Wells, a favourite of mine when Iām not time travelling! āThe Sleeping Beautyā captivated London! Oh, those costumes, those iconic dances! You can still see the beauty of this classical era, beautifully intertwined with the innovations of the time.
I simply have to have a tutu inspired by that gorgeous pink princess dress. Itās definitely going on my list of time travelling items. The more sparkles, the better! Perhaps I'll even visit that particular performance myself, and give 'Pink Tutu' a taste of a bygone era.
Travel Tips From the Past:
Remember, my dear followers, travel through time is all about paying attention to the past but bringing a fresh perspective to the present! For example, the ballet dancers back in 1934, even in those more restrictive, corseted eras, carried an ethereal air, an alluring strength that made me want to twirl and be a part of the magical moment.
Now thatās something for us to consider for our own lives. The power of a ballerina isnāt just about technique. Itās about owning that pink sparkle within ourselves, letting our light shine bright.
Back to Present Day: Spread The Pink
Right, darlings, time to wind up my post, it's getting late. Itās so hard to resist shopping in 1934, though those hats! Simply exquisite!
I'm back in my Derbyshire studio, my tutu flowing as I think about 1934ās dazzling vision, its delicate fabrics and fluid designs. Now, back to my everyday leotards and those gorgeous tutus that have that certain āPink Tutuā magic, of course. The sparkle isnāt just on my leotard, itās in our hearts, in our dreams.
Stay tuned for more travel tales, my loves! Remember, every dance, every twirl, every day is a new adventure!
I'll be here, bringing the world that dazzling pink touch! And who knows where my time-traveling leotard will take me next month? Perhaps a peek into the glittering world of the Russian ballet in the early 20th centuryā¦
Until next time, remember, girls: be your own fashion inspiration, spread the pink, and never stop twirling!
P.S. I will be giving one lucky reader the opportunity to win a limited-edition, āPink Tutuā 1930s inspired leotard with their choice of tulle for a tutu! Stay tuned to my social media channels to see how you can win. And always, dear reader, dance to your own beat, especially in pink.
