Rodarte x Ballet x Natalie Portman = Black Swan

Black Swan is a new ballet-thriller film (I know, reserve judgement for a second) starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Reasons this excites me: I love Mila Kunis and especially Natalie Portman, I LOVE ballet (Center Stage remains one of my most-beloved DVDs), and the costumes for the film were designed by Laura and Kate Mulleavey, designer sisters of fashion label Rodarte. Rodarte's main aesthetic is an intricate layering of textured and distressed fabrics, which produces a sort of goth-romantic look. Their label has quickly been recognized by fashion critics as one to watch and they recently reached out to mass-market customers through a Target collaboration collection (of which I own much).

Rodarte makes perfect sense for a dark film revolving around ballet and I can't wait to see what they've produced for it. (Costume at pictured at left is the first one to be released.) As far as the film itself, the trailer has yet to come out, so whether it's any good remains to be seen.
