Британский бренд одежды для танцев Freed of London начал продавать пуанты темных оттенков для темнокожих балерин.

Об этом пишет The New York Times.

Freed of London предложил своим клиентам покупать не только белое или бледно-розовое обувь для белокожих танцовщиц, но и коричневые и бронзовые пуанты.

Темные пуанты ранее появились в мелких производителей, однако Freed of London стал первым крупным поставщиком танцевальной обуви для темнокожих.

After over a year in development, Freed of London are proud to introduce, two new colours to our Pointe Shoe collection… 'Ballet Bronze' & 'Ballet Brown' 😍 • Our ethos has always been to develop shoes to meet the needs of each generation of dancer and these new colours continue to reflect this✨ • This wouldn't of been achievable without the help of everyone involved, especially "Ballet Black" whom we collaborated with to create these beautiful new colours. • Cassa Pancho MBE (Founder & Artistic Director of Ballet Black) had this to say: "I am beyond delighted that Freed have launched these two new colours. Although it may seem like a very small change to the outside world, I believe this is an historic moment in British Ballet history and another step forward for culturally diverse dancers across the globe who wear the iconic Freed brand of shoe. I would like to thank Freed for using their platform to help instigate change, and Cira Robinson, Senior Artist at Ballet Black, for her unending dedication to making this possible". • The new colours are available to buy as an express Special Order from the Freed of London store as of today!😁 • Featured dancers (L-R): #CiraRobinson in #BalletBrown #SayakaIchikawa in #BalletPink & #MarieAstridMence in #BalletBronze ❤️ • Image by: @dancers_eye 📸 • #freedoflondon #london #ballet #ballerina #dance #dancing #dancer #pointe #pointeshoes #history #historyinthemaking #diversity #freed #britishballet #history #dance #balletblack #collaboration
