en pointe

 People have always drawn fashion inspiration from films, and with all the Oscar hype surrounding it, Black Swan is certainly no exception.  The film is actually more fashion-oriented than most think, as Rodarte designed all the costumes for the dancers.  Because of these factors, I predict that we will begin to see some tutus, feathers, and other "ballet-esq" details being worn by the fashionable set.  I compiled some inspirational pieces just in case you want to let your inner ballerina shine; they're certainly more chic than the costumes from my dancing days..

[While the costumes are certainly dated, at least my old pointe shoes make for lovely decorations :)]
