INTRODUCTION
EN POINTE A BALLET COLLECTION FROM DOLLY LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION CURATED & DESIGNED BY ANNE-MARIE VAN DIJK 100% HANDMADE IN LONDON
Statue of the Prima Ballerina Anna Pavlova on the dome of the Victoria Palace Theatre in London
My inspiration comes from observing the sophistication of real ballerinas and what they wear in their daily life. As a child my eldest brother lived in Amsterdam and London wanting to become a ballet dancer. While visiting him we sometimes went to see a ballerina friend who lived in an old, beautiful building in London. I noticed the ballerinas in the hallway, the classic leather handbag and a rack of daily clothes consisting of clothes only a ballerina would wear. Stylish fabrics in comfortable shapes, because ballerinas are all about movement. On stage she wears her En Pointe shoes looking used … The En Pointe collection of dresses, tops, trousers, bags and accessories draws inspiration from the grand ballet and theatre with its glamorous femininity while beautifully crafted in modern and sophisticated design elements. Committed to designing a full quality wardrobe with an emphasis on innovative design, superior fabrics, unblemished perfection and amazing drape DOLLY is giving women both striking silhouettes & comfortable clothes in this latest En Pointe collection! All Hand Made in London, where the En Pointe inspiration begun
