Tutus are the height of fashion

tutu

Looking around these days it seems like everyone (and their dog) (literally) is wearing a tutu. Age doesn’t matter; whether young or old, there’s a tutu somewhere out there with your name on it. No longer reserved for costumes or childhood dress up props, tutus are everywhere.

Those who are looking for tiny tutus can head over to FAO Schwartz, where Tutu Couture seamstresses will whip up a frothy custom creation. Karl Lagerfeld recently tried his hand at designing a tutu for the role of the Dying Swan, a role first made famous over one hundred years ago by Anna Pavlova. No matter how you look at it, tutus are vogue, and have been featured in Vogue as a part of this year’s spring collections.

It looks like tutus aren’t just for ballerinas anymore.
