Loc'd LILAC FAIRY #Shrinkage Collection
Introducing the #Shrinkage Hat, a bold and stylish way to celebrate the beauty of Black hair in ballet. Inspired by Black Dance Change Makers' #Shrinkage Study, this collection affirms that our presence, our hair, and our heritage belong in every dance space. Each hat features an embroidered slogan that blends iconic ballet roles with signature Black hairstyles, making a statement both on and off the stage.
Ballet, with its rigid Eurocentric traditions, has long dictated how dancers should present themselves—down to the texture and styling of their hair. The #Shrinkage Hat Collection directly challenges that narrative, affirming that Blackness belongs in ballet. Just as ballet is an art form that has evolved over centuries, so too is Black hair—dynamic, expressive, and deeply rooted in culture.
Each slogan in this collection merges a Black hairstyle with a classic ballet role, blending two worlds that have often been kept separate. This fusion is an act of reclamation: our cultural expression does not need permission to exist in ballet—it has always belonged here.
🖤 Loc’d Lilac Fairy (The Sleeping Beauty) – A dreamy guardian of magic and wisdom, wrapped in loc’d elegance.
🧢 More Than Just a Hat – A Statement of Cultural Reclamation
Black hair, like dance, is a form of storytelling—sculptural, expressive, and ever-evolving. In an industry that has historically erased or devalued Black hair, these hats affirm that our natural textures and protective styles are not just acceptable—they are essential, beautiful, and powerful.
Precision is an art form—whether in a perfectly placed piqué turn or a carefully laid edges.
Ballet and dance are about movement—and Black hair moves with us.
Shrinkage is not loss—it’s power, transformation, and resilience.
With each embroidered slogan, we affirm: We are here. We belong. And we are redefining dance—on our own terms.
