The DellaLo Milano Svetlana DI Nero is a refined celebration of classical ballet elegance. Created in collaboration with legendary ballerina Svetlana Zakharova, this sophisticated leotard reflects her effortless artistry through clean lines, graceful proportions and beautifully balanced design. Every detail has been carefully considered to enhance movement while maintaining an understated sense of luxury.

The timeless Nero colourway combines a rich black Italian stretch body with delicate embroidered stretch tulle, featuring elegant floral motifs that appear to float across the shoulders and sleeves. A softly rounded neckline frames the upper body, while the delicate sweetheart insert adds subtle shaping beneath the sheer embroidery. At the back, a graceful deep U-shaped opening creates an elegant finish that beautifully complements posture and port de bras.

Design & Performance

Svetlana DI Nero embodies understated sophistication through beautifully balanced proportions and timeless Italian craftsmanship. The classic black body creates a sleek, uninterrupted silhouette, while delicate embroidered stretch tulle softens the upper body with elegant floral detailing that adds depth without overwhelming the design.

The rounded neckline creates a graceful frame across the shoulders, while the sweetheart bodice subtly enhances the natural ballet line. Lightweight three-quarter sleeves provide elegant coverage while maintaining complete freedom through every port de bras, making the leotard equally suited to classical repertoire and contemporary choreography.

From the back, the deep rounded opening creates a refined finish that naturally highlights posture and upper-body alignment. Premium Italian stretch fabrics move effortlessly with the dancer, delivering lasting comfort and confidence throughout classes, rehearsals and performance.
