Ballet

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you must have heard about the hit movie, Black Swan and have already witnessed it's influence on current fashion trends.


Ballet has always symbolized the beauty of female elegance and grace while also embodying the gentle strength that women possess. In fashion terms, ballet has inspired very soft color palettes (white, grey, blush) and emphasizes the soft lines of the female silhouette. The minimalism of the style is meant to show off the graceful movement of the body.



We're embracing our "inner ballerina" at Shangri La and loving the soft pastels and loading on the thin layers. Keep your eyes on our Facebook page for updates on new, ballet-inspired pieces coming in!

Inspire

If we, as women, should aspire to be anything, it should be a muse.
