We're kind of wishing we hadn't already blown off our childhood dreams of becoming a prima ballerina right now, because there's some en pointe fashion headed to the New York City Ballet. Designers including Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, Mary Katrantzou, Thom Browne, Carolina Herrera and Valentino Garavani have been paired to work with different company choreographers, and the garments will debut at NYCB's fall gala on September 23rd.
