A fusion of fashion and ballet has danced across the pages of L&rsquo;OFFICIEL for decades&mdash;an elegant pas de deux at once thoroughly modern and timeless.

Fashion and the dramatic arts have long shared a symbiotic relationship. Ballet, in particular, shares a richly inter-twined past with the fashion industry, influencing styles and silhouettes decade after decade. From the casual Coco Chanel-designed costumes in some of Serge Diaghilev&rsquo;s Ballets Russes of the 1920s to the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/how-to-style-balletcore-trend-ballet-flats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">balletcore trend</a> of today, this inspired partnership continues to flourish on the streets, runways, and stage.&nbsp;
The bond between fashion and dance goes much deeper than sparking trends, and gives choreographers and designers alike the opportunity to ensconce themselves in a new medium that foregrounds two assets intrinsic to their respective disciplines: movement and the body. Countless designers have lent their talents to renowned ballet companies: Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier, Iris van Herpen, <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/sara-burton-s-last-show-at-alexander-mcqueen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah Burton</a>, and Valentino have all delivered high-fashion concepts to ballet companies around the world, bringing a touch of couture to the choreography.&nbsp;
Most recently, London&rsquo;s Royal Ballet welcomed Daniel Lee of Burberry to develop uniquely British ballet looks, while Carolina Herrera&rsquo;s Wes Gordon created looks for a Balanchine piece performed by the New York City Ballet. This past spring, Ala&iuml;a&rsquo;s Pieter Mulier designed the costumes for Pit, a modern ballet at the Op&eacute;ra de Paris.&nbsp;
Ultimately, both fashion and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/dancing-is-healing-the-secret-to-ibiza-s-magnetic-nightlife" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dance</a> revolve around storytelling. Whether these designers are creating elaborate costumes for the stage or simply delivering a ballerina-off-duty flair (&agrave; la Miu Miu), the importance of ballet and dance to fashion&mdash;and vice versa&mdash;lies within the innate desire of creators to convey something meaningful to their audience.&nbsp;
