If you haven't had a chance to watch the preview for the new short Elle Fanning starred in for Rodarte, stop reading and go watch it now, seriously you'll thank me. Sure the preview is only 30 seconds long (the full short is being debuted Tuesday), but already I find it completely fascinating. If you read my article a few weeks ago about the Mulleavy sisters work for Black Swan you already know I'm a fan, but this is something totally new for them in my opinion. A line so well defined in its structured looks and often dark story line finds a star in it's 12 year old, blond haired and petite new face. The radiant sun and mysticism that we already see in the preview is a stark contrast from the norm, but done is a way that is a completely seamless transition.
The trend of film shorts for designers has been exploding this year, and in my opinion is a trend that has been hit or miss (leaning towards miss most of the time) so it's nice to see a concept that isn't as trite as a lot of the things that have come out. Not much more can be said about it until the full video comes out but suffice it to say I am thoroughly excited for the possibility of how great this could be. If it's as enchanting as it seems, it will be just one more thing the sisters can add to their stellar year.
