Black Swan: Interview With Costume Designer Amy Westcott

Oscar de la Renta even had a tutu-inspired ballgown with a skirt made of swan down in his Spring/Summer 2011 collection. You can expect the fall shows, which start next week in New York, to feature even more floaty skirts, feather adornments and ballet flats. They have a beauty, elegance and serenity that is so sorely lacking in the crazy, busy and violent modern world -- perhaps that is part of the appeal.

Yet nothing about the black swan's costume -- a gorgeous tutu of black tulle studded with Swarovski crystals and embellished with black feathers -- conveys the hypersexual id that the black swan ostensibly symbolizes. The film makes up for this by piling on the scary eye makeup and through special-effect feathers sprouting out of Portman's arms (one of Nina's many hallucinations throughout the film). But if Thomas had truly wanted to produce a daring, different version of Swan Lake, wouldn't he have demanded more avant garde costumes? A striking black, one-shouldered body suit, with one long sleeve with feathers perhaps, would have been more modern -- and more sexual. And for a fashion brand known for its dark and perverse themes -- the Mulleavy's collections frequently draw on Japanese horror movies -- Rodarte's exquisitely wrought tutus were surprisingly sweet .

The cult of personality surely had much to do with the costumes' popularity--just see how quickly the fashion press leaped to Rodarte's defense when it found out the sisters couldn't win an Oscar. And look at how the number of costumes the sisters designed for the film expanded from seven to 20 to the entire ballet corps. Yet that isn't all there is to it. After all, when I first saw the glimpses of the shimmering, frothy tutus watching the film I got all giddy too. I took ballet as a child, and the costumes that Nina and the rest of the ballet corps wear were the types of tutus I so longed to wear.

They make it look like “oh you know, they are just hitting each other on the head” but these guys are going through pain, they are going through all sorts of physical torment for our entertainment. And it is the same with ballet, so much physical torment and it’s all for us, for the audience, for the people who enjoy ballet. It was a great learning experience. I feel like I know so much more about it and about ballerinas themselves now. Swan emerald green on black Organic cotton t-shirt dress. Cotton nightdress, sleep shirt for women.

(I never progressed beyond a plain black leotard, alas.) But the costumes spoke to that deep-seeded desire to be pretty and light -- a desire I try to suppress for being anti-modern or anti-feminist, but which still lurks inside me. But I still wish that, for the sake of the film, the costumes had been more daring and less obvious. They didn't challenge me or my ideas about ballerinas or the ballet, and they didn't convince me that the role of the black swan truly overtook Nina's person. A costume should be more than just a very pretty dress.
