The Little Black Ballet Flat


Miss Portman’s movie The Black Swan may have just hit theaters but ballerina influenced shoes and apparel are already swarming fashion forward department stores like Barneys New York and Fred Segal. Currently we’re seeing the well-known ballet flat transformed into a more traditional Pointe shoe with a flat toe. Forecasters and Designers have planned ahead for the release, and before you can say Plié the ballerina trend is going to be everywhere! Voluminous Feathers, spandex leos, delicate tights, and frilly bows, the ballerina trend is back in a big way. Chloe and Valentino are even showing full-scale tutus on the runway! And remember trends don’t only affect fashion; ballet inspired workouts, television shows, movies, diets, children’s toys ect.. are all being modeled after the huge NEW TREND! It’s just a matter of time before we see a “Top Ballerina” reality show.
