rodarte dances

I am very enthused to see the highly anticipated film, Black Swan, which just premiered in the US. Unfortuneately it isn't released in Australia until January 13th, 2011, so I'll have to wait to hold my breath through the entire film [as it is one of very few thrillers I actually want to see...].

As you can see above are the jaw-dropping designs by Rodarte for the film's tutus.  Marvelous director Darren Aronofsky said that he and the costume designer Amy Westcott, wanted to use a contemporary fashion designer "to take [the costumes] to a new level" and wanted to reinvent the whole sense of "Swan Lake." It also helped that leading actress, Natalie Portman, already had a relationship with Rodarte sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy. Portman was seen front row at their runway show during New York Fashion Week.

Creepy, ay? I love it.
