We wanted to put on a real show. I wanted to really embrace the idea of fashion coming together with art and music,\u201d she said. \u201cI have such an appreciation for [ballet dancers]. They are so graceful and fit. I\u2019d imagined they\u2019d be scarily skinny (after watching Black Swan too many times) but they look so healthy and strong, with these amazingly powerful legs and broad chests because they have to breathe so much air into their lungs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Sunday at London Fashion Week, high-end ready-to-wear designer Jayne Pierson showed her Spring\/Summer 2012 Collection, \u2018The Mobius Strip\u2019, in a stand-alone show at The Show Space.<\/p>\n<p>The team at Models Direct not only loved the collection, which was inspired by \u201can intercultural world, organic structures and morphing textures\u201d, but we also loved the fact that the Welsh designer chose prima ballerinas to model her pieces down the catwalk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[323,54,7],"tags":[500,362,1066,268,1042],"class_list":["post-3124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dancing-2","category-fashion","category-models","tag-ballet","tag-catwalk-models","tag-jayne-pierson","tag-london-fashion-week","tag-springsummer-2012"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jayne Pierson Uses Ballet Dancers Not Models At LFW  - Talent Management Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/blog\/2011\/09\/jayne-pierson-uses-ballet-dancers-not-models-at-lfw\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jayne Pierson Uses Ballet Dancers Not Models At LFW  - Talent Management Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Last Sunday at London Fashion Week, high-end ready-to-wear designer Jayne Pierson showed her Spring\/Summer 2012 Collection, \u2018The Mobius Strip\u2019, in a stand-alone show at The Show Space.
