Looking for a delightful, whimsical gift for your favourite budding ballerina? The Royal New Zealand Ballet has secured the exclusive rights to sell the wonderful Tyrrell Katz ballet range.
“I’ve been a fan of Tyrrell Katz for years and it’s fantastic to be able to introduce this fun range to Kiwi ballet fans,” says Royal New Zealand Ballet General Manager Amanda Skoog.
Designer James Tyrrell, who lives in South Africa with his wife and two young boys, says his drawings are inspired by everyday art, design and photography that put a smile on his face.
“James Tyrrell is an extraordinarily clever illustrator and his designs will delight young and old,” Skoog says. “His quirky characters are all drawn in correct ballet positions and I’m sure they will be a source of fascination and inspiration.”
Tyrrell’s first ballet design, commissioned by the English National Ballet, now sells all over the world.
