The acclaimed independent film 'Black Swan' may have inspired a lot of swan-like, ballet-influenced designs last year, but the Samuel Cirnansck FW12 collection reaches back a little further in time for some feathery inspiration. Channeling fairy tale characters, the models in the Samuel Cirnansck FW12 runway show are turned into stunning swan princesses, each and every one of them.
Debuted during the Sao Paolo fashion week, the Samuel Cirnansck FW12 collection is a big change from the designer's last collection, which saw models bound and gagged down the catwalk. Opulent and elegant, the collection is comprised of embellished gowns that swept the snowy runway. Despite the icy theatrics, the tufts of organza, tulle, gazar and faux fur all convey a sense of glamorous and unyielding warmth.
