The Costumes

Okay, I know I'm dragging this Black Swan thing out probably more than I should, but I found this video today and had to add it because I absolutely love it. It's a behind the scenes video on the Black Swan costumes. Designers Amy Westcott and Kate & Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte (who I mentioned in the Swan Lake post below) discuss their thought process, ideas, and inspirations while creating the costumes for the film. They had to make around 40 tutus for it, which I think is pretty amazing considering how difficult it is to actually construct a tutu...just imagine doing it 39 more times.

They are up for Best Costume Design in the Critic's Choice Movie Awards and I think it is a very well deserved nomination. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous
