>> Laura and Kate Mulleavy Designed Ballet Costumes For Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan Film—After Rodarte's Laura and Kate Mulleavy signed with WME last September to explore entertainment opportunities, it was only a matter of time before their work showed up on film.  Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan seems a good fit, not only because of the Mulleavys' love for horror films (Black Swan is a thriller), but because Natalie Portman, who attended the Fall 2010 Rodarte show, stars alongside Mila Kunis.  The movie features scenes from "Swan Lake," for which the Mulleavys designed ballet costumes.

"A great passion for our job runs into the family, but we do also know that this is not the most important thing in the world, so we live our lives with lots of irony and detachment, since, after all, it’s just clothes. We work to live better and not the opposite and there’s no point in earning more than you can spend. I guess this approach saved us from making mistakes that have been fatal to other fashion houses or designers."—Margherita Missoni on lessons learned from the family business.

Kate and Laura Mulleavy are working on a film called Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as competing ballerinas.

Alexander McQueen's ashes are to be scattered on the Isle of Skye, where his father was born. "Alexander was back and forward all over the world, but he felt at home when he was in Scotland," he brother told the Evening Standard.

Phillip Lim kept his sweaters cropped with extra long sleeves, Rad Hourani took his collars up, way up, and the Rodarte sisters opted for light colors and major fuzz. Other knits were oversized, and included rounded hems and large hoodies.

If they ask why I am so wrinkled, I will tell them that I have progeria."—Simon Doonan to GQ.
