Shoulder Pads

The power of the Black Swan is represented by black wings in different stages of the movie. Shortly after she is crowned Swan Queen, Nina is fascinated by a creepy statue which shows a dark figure of a man with wings and later on in the film tattooed wings are shown on Lily’s back and these represent the power of the Black Swan which is rising and becoming one with Nina.

To represent the importance of the black wings in my final design i decided to use shoulder pads with feathers.

These are some photos of different styles of feathered shoulder pads :
