DOLLY DESIGNER WALKING BALLERINAS HER WHOLE LIFE

INSPIRED BY HER CHILDHOOD ICONS AUDREY HEPBURN & BRIGITTE BARDOT, WHO WALKED REAL BALLET CLASS BALLERINAS DAILY INSIDE AND OUT, THE DOLLY DESIGNER DID EXACTLY THE SAME: WHY? THEY WALK SUPER COMFORTABLE AND YOU ALWAYS LOOK AS STYLISH AS YOU CAN GET. RECENTLY SHE FOUND OUT THAT TAYLOR SWIFT ALSO WALKS BALLERINAS.

…so the result is obvious; the DOLLY designer created her own line of simple, classic, comfortable, flexible, affordable ballerina flats which are a bestselling item in the DOLLY range for a few years now. 

This resulted in creating matching merch with DOLLY products printed on DOLLY products with T-shirts, Sweaters, Hoodies & Dresses with real photos of the real ballerinas. The photos look like you have real ballerinas carrying with you on their ribbons on your back or front, which is a very cool effect. Dollypink, Black, Gold and sporty Red, one for every day and every outfit for every occasion. 

DOLLY Ballet Flats To Go With Everything In Your Closet

Simple but also elegant. Stylish but also comfortable. Ballet flats are timeless yet also bang on trend. Plus, you can wear them with absolutely anything to add some French chic style to your outfits. Jeans, leggings, skirts and dresses, you’ll always be at your DOLLY best!

Celebrity Ballet Flat Wearers

Ballet flats obviously have their origin in dance. However, the ballet flat has developed into a shoe to wear off stage and has gained legions of fans over the decades because of its nonchalant, running-errands-around-Paris styling. 

In the late 1950s, Brigitte Bardot wore a red pair in And God Create Women while Audrey Hepburn famously donned her iconic ballet flats and polo neck outfit in Funny Face. Both big icons of the DOLLY designer as we mentioned earlier.

The DOLLY designer walks DOLLY flats every day choosing a color to match or to contrast the outfit. Even in winter with socks ( also a new trend, check the catwalks!) or with tights, doing groceries, walking the dog, strolling boulevards in Spain…

Pathé Leeuwarden on Oct. 13 2023 

With my daughter and her friend we went to see Taylor Swift’s concert movie of her Eras 2023 tour and I was happily surprised to see and spot Taylor wearing her favourite day shoes on stage: Ballerinas!  Just like our DOLLY Ballerinas!

I know Taylor is often spotted walking outside wearing ballerinas in black or red and now even on stage is just amazing! She wears many, cool, different outfits and ususally with high heeled boots from Louboutin, but also literally runs across the stage on her comfy ballet pink ballet flats.

DOLLY & Scarlett, ( the Wanne Be a Model) Interview

DOLLY is loved by Scarlett Isabella. She is 5 years and wants to become a model and is currently in the Dutch Top Model Program at www.Iwannebeamodel.nl

Below an interview with Scarlett

Agency: @iwannabeamodel.nl

Hair and make-up: Richella Coats

Dress, shoes & earrings: DOLLY by Le Petit Tom ® 

DOLLY Timeless Tutu dress pink >  

Hi Scarlett and Chineida,

In the past year, Scarlett has participated in the Dutch Top Model Program at Iwannabeamodel.nl. How did both of you experience this?

Our experience with Iwannabeamodel.nl has been very positive so far. Richella and Albert are always ready to answer questions and are involved in Scarlett’s assignments.

Scarlett has had multiple collaborations. What are her highlights?

Our collaboration with Le Petit Tom ® and Scarlett as brandrep:  Scarlett has been wearing DOLLY by Le Petit Tom’s clothes and ballet flats since she was a baby. When Iwannabeamodel.nl asked us which brands we want to be working with, we didn’t hesitate at all. The quality and special girly garments immediately appeal to us. Scarlett really feels like a princess in the beautiful dresses of DOLLY by Le Petit Tom ®.

Where did Scarlett show the most of her growth?

Scarlett is freer during shoots and also more aware of her posture. Every shoot is a moment of growth. She likes to dress up and her hobby as a model fits in perfectly with this.

You said in the first interview that it is your wish for Scarlett to be discovered by high fashion from exclusive brands. Don’t you think it’s cool that Le Petit Tom also wants to publish this interview?

Scarlett is very happy to have this opportunity as she has been a fan of the brand for years. Working with Le Petit Tom is a dream come true. When there are internal shoots again, Scarlett would be thrilled to be able to participate.

Do you have any short-term wishes?

It was a bizarre year because of Corona, resulting modeling work was on a low profile everywhere. Step by step we are going back to the time it was before COVID-19. Scarlett hopes to have the opportunity to participate in a fashion week again. Just before COVID-19 was discovered, she was invited to participate in New York Fashion Week. This was a fantastic experience. We will wait and see the future of modeling events, so far she will continue to enjoy the modeling work and the beautiful experiences.

AW22 INSPIRATION & LOOK INSIDE THE DOLLY DESIGNERS HOLIDAY HOME

For the passed 7 years I am having the luxury of spending every summer holiday in our home away from home in the south of Andalucia in Spain bringing me so much inspiration. Andalucia’s nature is extremely diverse going from snowy mountains, sunflower, olive and almond fields to a desert and the Mediterranean sea all in reach within 1 or 2 hours drive. In these passed 7 years we’ve only seen just a fraction of what it has to offer.

This year we finally went to the desert in Tabernas Almeria where several hundreds of movies were filmed in a town build by the famous movie director Sergio Leone. Mainly spaghetti westerns like ‘ The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ , ‘For a few dollars more’, ‘ Cleopatra’, ‘Lawrence of Arabia and many Clint Eastwood films. Check here for a full list. The western town build by Mr. Leone still exists and is now a movie theme park with real shows, complete zoo and …….. a souvenir shop.  Of course we have to go to the souvenir shop. There I find this very big, handmade in Spain dreamcatcher with pink wooden beads. I want it and I already know where I want to hang it in our little castle. Above my head, to catch my dreams 🙂

This beautiful dreamcatcher is crochet by hand and this became my inspiration for the new DOLLY collection for 2022 and already know that collection is again one to become popular and available for many year to come. ( that sounds really arrogant, I know, but it’s just my enthusiasm speaking as well as my commerce brain. )

Crochet? Yes crochet. Crocheting used to be old fashioned, boring and for dull people. Crochet dresses come from the 70s, but crochet dresses are big and back on the catwalks since this year and soon into your DOLLY wardrobe. Our team is now very busy making completely new, reimagined crochet techniques with a modern look and of course our signature ballet style. Curious for the Crochet Dolly Collection with crochet tutu dresses?  There is also a little surprise product in the collection which will be a collectors item and great gift. We cannot wait to show you.

Red.  Here’s a little look in the home away from home of the DOLLY designer. Here’s where she’s cookin’ up many ideas to bring to her home in the Netherlands to finish ideas into real DOLLY Crochet tutu dresses for all you ballet and fashion lovers! Notice the handmade Crochet dreamcatcher.

The DOLLY CROCHET COLLECTION will be available in 2022 and for the shops selling Dolly, make sure you visit your sales reps showroom and the trade fairs from January 2022.  For more information you can email info@lepetittom.nl 

Ps. Did you know many famous people are ‘yarnies’ ? Meryl Streep ( one of of my fav actrices), Cher, Bette Davis, Aretha Franklin

Stretch leotards with many tulle layers creating a comfortable and impressive Timeless tutu dress in our signature colors dusty pink, black and white.

Real 3D butterflies are sewed on this head turning dress. Available in 2 shades of pink, heavenly light blue  and of course black and white. The Allover Butterflies had to come as a Tutu skirt as well of course in pink en light blue.
