Trend of the Year 2011

High and smooth balet bundles, tight and snow white tutus, pointe shoes, appearance in public to watch “Swan Lake”… Total interest in ballet has become the main trend of this year. The aesthetics of ballet has thoroughly captured the hearts and minds of the public. It has become possible to plunge into the world of classical dance thanks to the actress Natalie Portman and her heroine from the “Black Swan” movie directed by Darren Aronofski. It is surprising that, despite the delighted reviews of the critics, “The Swan” took only one “Oscar”, and the long-awaited statuette, of course, went to Portman in the “Best Actress” category.
A psychological thriller about the troubled life of a ballerina Nina literally affected all spheres of cultural life and fashion. The new fitness movement based on classical ballet training is gaining popularity, dance shows with ballet dancers of the leading troupes are being shot, dance schools and colleges are overcrowded. The Guerlain brand has acknowledged their love for ballet with the help of their expensive Le Bolshoi perfume; literally every designer collection in 2011 was accompanied by the appearance of ballet dancing models on the catwalk, and it has been a good demonstration of the main trend of the year.
