Um, wow. Black Swan costume designer Amy Westscott is pissed at Rodarte because they designed a bunch of costumes for the movie and then talked about it to the press. The press later pointed out that if Black Swan was to be nominated for an Oscar for costume design—which it wasn't—Westscott, not Rodarte, would win the award. Westcott granted an interview to Clothes on Film, where she railed against Rodarte: "Controversy is too complimentary a word for two people using their considerable self-publicising resources to loudly complain about their credit once they realised how good the film is." Westcott goes on to insinuate that she will not work with fashion designers in the future. Westscott previously designed costumes for The Wrestler, Entourage, and Smart People.
