DECOR TREND
Soft, formful and romantic – the catwalk’s dreamy ballet-inspired look is taking over interiors, too
ART DIRECTOR AND INTERIORS STYLIST Hannah Franklin FASHION STYLIST Sofia Lazzari
The New Pretty aesthetic is a fresh and invigorating take on classic themes. Delicate tones, muted pastels and curved edges have been around before, but this look – where ruff les, sheers and movement combine with a dash of 90s modernism – creates an atmospheric, inviting and ethereal feel. It speaks directly to the balletcore trend so perfected by many fashion houses for SS24 (particularly look at the Chanel Haute Couture show). This landmark Livingetc shoot celebrates how that translates to an interior space, from colour and texture to shape and setting.

FINE LINES
This is a quiet trend with an ethereal quality that calls for making welcoming, livable rooms that are full of depth through subtle detail.

ON THE MOVE
Unsurprisingly for a look inspired by dance, movement is essential; it comes through in interesting shapes, detailed materials and luscious textures.
On model: as before
SOFT TOUCH
An essential tenet to The New Pretty is a soft, inviting colour palette, taking inspiration from ballet. Combine buttery neutrals, chalky pinks and flashes of soft blue.
