Maya Plisetskaya herself, even during the Soviet deficit, was a real fashionista. The ballerina always dressed beautifully, bought things from blacksmiths, picked up jewelry and accessories for her sophisticated costumes (she adored two pieces - a jacket plus a narrow skirt).
During a tour in Paris, Plisetskaya was introduced to Coco Chanel herself, who was so delighted with the grace and grace of the ballerina that she asked her to walk the catwalk at the show of the autumn-winter collection of the house of Chanel. Moreover, Coco showed Maya her personal collection of jewelry, including the legendary emerald bracelet donated to Chanel by Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich, cousin of Nicholas II.
Maya Plisetskaya was also friends with the designer Pierre Cardin - he created costumes for the ballets Anna Karenina, The Lady with the Dog and The Seagull. It is interesting that Cardin did not take payment for his work, while his name was not even indicated on the posters - a foreign dresser could not dress Soviet artists ... Cardin was not embarrassed - he wanted to work with Plisetskaya, period. The designer and the ballerina talked for 35 years, and in everyday life she often wore outfits from Pierre Cardin.
Another great designer who admired Plisetskaya is Yves Saint Laurent. They knew each other, Yves created a transparent pink costume for Maya for the ballet "The Death of the Rose". It turned out very boldly and frankly for that era!
And we propose to be inspired by the style of Maya Plisetskaya and complement your image with "ballet" decorations - elegant, delicate and sublime.
Ballerinas
A soaring, graceful, flower woman ... This is how a ballerina should be! Brooches, earrings and pendants with her image will give your image the same qualities. Choose small, sophisticated pieces to pair with other minimalist accessories. Because there can be only one prima!
The earrings will look great with a fashionable silk blouse with voluminous lantern sleeves, and attach a brooch to the lapel of an oversized men's cut jacket. With pendants, everything is simple - if the length of the chain allows, then in winter you can wear it over a turtleneck, or combine it with any neckline - be it a dress or a pullover.
Swans
Odette or Odile? White swan or black? Maya Plisetskaya danced equally brilliantly in both parties in Swan Lake! And as an accessory, you can choose a swan that suits you more in spirit. Black will look great with an evening or cocktail dress. It might as well be worn under dark sweaters and shirts. The white swan, on the other hand, creates an airy and light mood, suitable for daytime looks.
By the way, wear Swarovski swans in a set, combining a necklace with a bracelet or earrings - their silhouette is quite laconic, you can not be afraid to overdo it.
Feathers
Feather jewelry has been trending for several seasons, so if you are not ready to wear a dancer pendant just yet, give yourself a feather - it is just as light and floating.
Today we are choosing swan feathers decorated with crystals. Wear them with translucent, flowing fabrics - it can be dresses, blouses, shirts. Pay attention to the neo-Parisian style with flounces and ruffles, add accessories with pearls to the feathers and wear several pieces of jewelry at the same time. Let the image be luxurious, as if you came to a ballet at the Bolshoi Theater!
