A childhood dream brought to life ❄️
Barbie and the Nutcracker… handmade, magical, and straight out of a winter fairytale ✨🧚🏻♀️ (swipe for studio bts)
Nan had a vision, and I trusted her completely. I’ve been dreaming of a photoshoot like this for years, and the moment I approached her about my next project, she immediately knew exactly what she wanted to create. Together, we’re transporting you to the Land of Sweets and into the world of one of the most iconic ballets of all time, The Nutcracker.
Many people don’t know this, but I danced with a company for 12 years. Nutcracker season was always my favorite time of year, and it still holds such a special place in my heart. This Barbie movie was my absolute favorite growing up, so finally cosplaying Barbie feels incredibly full circle. I’ve wanted to do this for so long 🥹🎀
A huge thank you to
@icefabrics__ for collaborating with me on this project. A video is coming tomorrow with a behind the scenes look at the process and a detailed showcase of the stunning fabrics sent to me. Truly the most beautiful crystal organza I’ve ever worked with. Which was absolutely perfect for a ballet inspired costume ✨
