bracelets & bangles: balletic grace

For anyone who has seen it, the Black Swan is undeniably a stunning film that successfully combines grace with couture fashion. Although I definitely didn't see it coming, it would appear that this film has had direct impact upon the world of fashion particularly on the catwalk. Soft pastel colours, romantic shades, ultra feminine frills and sugar pinks are all things intrinsically linked to ballet and all feature in recent fashion trends. A look that is effortless and elegant, this new balletic style is a stark contrast to baggy 'sweats', block colour and masculine chic, previous trends we have seen over the past couple of months. Ballet flats in particular are set to be a key piece in the up and coming months, as well as the classic high bun that combines style and sophistication. Visually pleasing and fashion forward, definitely a must see film and a trend to embrace.
