Historic icon Coco Chanel once claimed, “Fashion changes. Style remains.” But we can only imagine what Ms. Chanel would have thought of the annual Academy Award trends when she said this. With that in mind, Oscar season is here and once again, swan dress is the new Oscar black. A decade following singer Bjork's famous “swan dress,” the bird is a hot topic now thanks to much hype around the nominated Black Swan. Yes, we admire the originality of Lady Gaga's meat dress, but we cannot forget all of the fashion hype that Bjork's ballerina inspired ensemble—swan tutu, pointe shoe pink heels and all—sparked back in 2001. Now the idea of the swan plays a big role in the form of film and dance in 2011. Anticipating the pre-show red carpet event, who knows what looks we will see, but viewers may not be as shocked as they used to be thanks to previous outlandish efforts.
