Black Swan & Rodarte

Last week I watched Aronofsky's Black Swan and it really impressed me. I was thinking about it today and I thought it would be a good post because of the beautiful costumes. 


Black Swan is a psychological journey of an ambitious and perfectionist ballerina trying to get (be?) the role of her life. A journey in which she looses herself in a neurotic attempt to embrace her dark side. Such visceral story needed stunning and artistic costumes. Aronofsky and costume designer Amy Wescott knew that they needed a contemporary fashion designer and made the best decision choosing Rodarte's Laura and Kate Mulleavy for the ballerina outfits.

Rodarte had already taken horror films and ballet as inspiration for their past collections.
