Behind-the-Scenes Video from Black Swan by Swarovski

If you loved Black Swan as much as I did, you’ll want to check out this exclusive behind-the-scenes video from Black Swan provided by Swarovski. The video includes interviews with Kate & Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte (who designed all the ballerina costumes for the film), Nadja Swarovski (Swarovski provided over 250,000 crystals to the making of the film), as well as Thérèse DePrez (the film’s Production Designer).

Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte created the “Swan Lake” ballet costumes for Black Swan and turned to their long time friend and supporter Swarovski, who donated nearly 250,000 crystals, weighing 40kgs for the ballet costumes, to add drama to the dark, romantic aesthetics of the pivotal ballet scenes. Rodarte worked with Swarovski crystals on the Black Swan and White Swan costumes as well as the diaphanous white gown worn by Natalie Portman’s character. Additionally, the now iconic Black Swan crown designed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy, which is featured in the film’s poster, was hand crafted in burnt copper with Swarovski crystals entangled in the metalwork.
