# Beautiful Ballet Lookbooks La Danse Catalog Features Fashions from Clever Nettle and Summerland By Meghan Young | Published 2011-05-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-danse References: [honeykennedy](http://www.honeykennedy.com/2011/05/la-danse/) & [clevernettle](http://www.clevernettle.com/blog/?p=2748) For those of you who thought that the 'Black Swan' bandwagon had finally left town, the La Danse lookbook happily proves otherwise. This [dance-inspired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-ros) catalog centers beautifully on two [ballerinas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satin-ballerin) who stylishly practice their forms in a minimally designed, softly-lit room. Photographed by Anja Loise Verdugo, the La Danse lookbook showcases fashions from the vintage boutique store Clever Nettle and the online shop Summerland, both of which are based in Portland, Oregon. Simple and elegant, the lookbook beautifully captures the essences of the styles on sale. The La Danse lookbook also featured accessories from Fieldguided, Giant Dwarf and The Vamoose. Models Kiely McDaniel and Meredith Adelaide had their makeup done by Nica Demaria; M. Bardeaux was responsible for the [pretty buns and braided hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nouvelle-danse) . ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dance-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating dance-inspired fashion collections that combine elegance and simplicity. - **Vintage Boutique Stores:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Launching vintage boutique stores that offer unique and curated fashion selections. - **Online Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing online fashion retail platforms that provide a curated selection of stylish clothing and accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating dance-inspired fashion into mainstream fashion retail stores. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with photographers to create visually captivating lookbooks that enhance the appeal of fashion products. - **Hair and Makeup Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering specialized hair and makeup services to provide a complete styling experience for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ballet-Inspired Altheticwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/en-pointe-collection.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Ballet-Inspired Split-Toe Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-rift-black-swan.md) - [Balletcore Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkinetic-fluent-1.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Elegant Ballerina-Inspired Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satin-ballerin.md) - [Vibrant Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorette-springsummer-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md)
