Few garments toe the line between gothic and girly quite like the timeless tulle skirt. The Venn Diagram is a messy one, and the overlapping concentric circles include accessories like heavily buckled ballet pumps, bejewelled headbands, preppy blazers, deconstructed corsets, simple, delicate blouses and more.
Simultaneously synonymous with both historical and modern ballerinas that Degas would be in awe of, and the contemporary British punk movement sartorially spearheaded by Vivienne Westwood, the tulle skirt has been an icon of fashion for longer than you might’ve thought.
