Tulle Transcends Time Elegantly
Tulle is the epitome of grace and femininity. Traditionally, ballerinas and brides have been its lovely objects, attired in its light, airy charm. Today, this romantic fabric breaks free from tradition and proves that style is about self-expression rather than rules.
Few fabrics capture the Western ideal of femininity like tulle. Often seen in bridal gowns and ballerina costumes, this airy, sheer material represents the contradictions of womanhood: soft yet resilient, innocent yet alluring.
Tulle became the latest fashion favorite; lately, it decorated the runways of Saint Laurent, Moschino, Alexander McQueen, and Oscar de la Renta during the Spring 2018 collections. Its romantic, soft, and dreamy qualities make it just a breath of fresh air after so many years of streetwear and athleisure.

What makes tulle all the more exciting today is how much it has surpassed its traditional association. Once the reserve of only the bride and the high fashion runway, it's now much more easily accessible and free from strict ideas of who and when can wear it. It is an overview of a larger movement in fashion: self-expression over outdated gender roles. Thus, be it on the runway or the streets, tulle demonstrates that style is a matter of choice, not rules.
