Hearst teamed up with dancers from the American Ballet Theatre and The New York City Ballet to showcase this season's creations.

Gabriela Hearst&#39;s pre-fall collection campaign drew <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/Fendis-italian-architecture-inspires-new-art" target="_blank">inspiration</a> from one of the most classical forms of beauty:&nbsp;ballet. It is not the first time that the art form has influenced the New York-based designer&#39;s collection. Last fall, Hearst chose the late Soviet ballerina&nbsp;Maya Plisetskaya as her inspiration, whose famed dying swan is legendary in the dance world (so much so that the American ballerina Isabella Boylston <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_xmJfuAg3p/">recreated the performance</a> for L&#39;Officiel&#39;s On Tour Series). Given the uncertainty of the future of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/watch-stream-august-2020-movies-tv" target="_blank">theater</a>, Hearst wished to shine a light on some of today&#39;s top ballerinas and their athleticism - something they have not been able to share with others&nbsp;as&nbsp;theaters around the world have closed.

Shot by photographer Pascal Perich, the socially distanced <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-winter-2020-fashion-advertising-campaigns" target="_blank">campaign</a> features ballerinas Hearst hand-selected, including The American Ballet Theatre&#39;s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/christineshevchenko/?hl=en" target="_blank">Christine Shevchenko</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/li_fangqi/?hl=en" target="_blank">Fangqi Li</a>, as well as the New York City Ballet&#39;s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/unityphelan/?hl=en" target="_blank">Unity Phelan</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/indiabradleyy/?hl=en" target="_blank">India Bradley</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/toughinatutu/?hl=en" target="_blank">Olivia Boisson</a>.&nbsp;

While Hearst&#39;s&nbsp;ethically conscious <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/black-owned-fashion-brands-to-support" target="_blank">brand</a>&nbsp;is known for thoughtful clothing women want to wear and handbags that are quick to sell out, this pre-fall collection in particular shows a more feminine side of the label. For the Gabriela Hearst devotee, there are chic suits and plush sweaters, but&nbsp;a number of gorgeous pleated dresses, worn by the ballerinas in mid-air,&nbsp;stole the spotlight. &quot;I feel that dance is one those beautiful art forms that you can see the force of creation being communicated by the human body,&quot; Hearst shared.&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;It did elevate every single garment of the collection, seeing it on these incredible talents.
