Came across the photographer Laurence Ellis today while flicking through the June issue of Wallpaper* magazine. Noted as 'One to Watch' Laurence has recently collaborated with Topman directing three short films inspired by summer and youth.

Costume Design: Black Swan
Sunday, January 2, 2011
It's always a thrill to find great costume illustrations, and these sketches from fashion designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte for Black Swan do not disappoint! They have a soft and whimsical stylized look, which is synonymous with the look of their illustrations for Rodarte, while still serving as readable working sketches. 
The designing sisters were challenged with making clothes that were dramatic and character appropriate while also being ballet-friendly and completely wearable. 
The wardrobe, the characters and the setting are all so intriguing to me. I also absolutely love illustrating ballerinas so maybe I'll take a stab at rendering the main characters after I see the film.
Embarrassingly enough I have not actually seen Black Swan yet, I usually steer clear of scary movies, but I may have to suck it up just to see these costumes in action.
