Features Live review: 4th Annual Runway for the Ballet
Posted By Lauren Blake on Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM
THE DEAL: 4th Annual Runway For The Ballet: A glimpse of spring on the runway from Neiman Marcus.
THE GOOD: Ballet and fashion were at their finest this weekend Uptown. The crew at the North Carolina Dance Theatre certainly know a little something about effortless style, on and off stage. The event was a smooth mixture of fresh spring looks and ballet, brought to the runway by the company’s own dancers. From feminine florals to chic bohemian looks, the runway was graced by one head to toe masterpiece to another. A few spring trends for the ladies to watch out for include chunky gold accessories, leg-lengthening bone colored shoes, “spring” leather (whether it’s a mini dress or messenger bag) and bright shades of coral. As emcee, style maven T. Strong said, “Coral is the new black this season.” And gentleman, it looks like women aren’t the only ones who need to freshen up their wardrobe for spring. Popular looks for men this season: white boat shoes, casual white pants paired with neutral sport jackets, and pops of blue and other brights in long button down shirts. Time to start shopping, boys! Perhaps one of the best looks from the show was a floor length silk coral dress, with a scoop neck and back. Thank goodness for fashonistas, the groundhog predicted an early spring. It’s only a matter of time before we slip out of our sweaters and leggings into the bold fabrics and colors of spring 2011!
THE BAD: Disclaimer: Falling in love with designer collections at Neiman Marcus could result in serious injury to credit card accounts.
THE VERDICT: An inspiring and artistic event, for both lovers of fashion and dance. It is, without a doubt, a must-attend annual Charlotte event.
