Ballerinas from a Ballerina… With a true and complete understanding of the ballerina from personal experience, Alexandra Neel proposes six variations for Fall 2011. Folded, deconstructed and asymmetric in shape with matte and shiny finishes trimmed with grosgrain ribbons or zippers, the ballerinas are lined in signature AN Pink satin. The natural drape of the ballerina slipper’s grace gives the chance to wear as an evening shoe as well. Cosmetic colors and nuances include nude, blush and kohl creating shadows and a play with light. In synch with the contemporary urge to satisfy both look and comfort, finally it is reconciled: a “soft ballet shoe” for the street.
