Women Go Wild for Black Swan Style

March 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Twenga, the most comprehensive shopping search engine, can reveal that the Black Swan phenomenon is influencing fashion, with women expressing both their lighter and darker sides through elegant ballet-inspired clothes.

Searches for leotards have shot up by 288% this year, worn with sports tights by Adidas (up 75%) or luxury tights by La Perla (up 850%).  Although ballet flats are becoming something of a staple, searches have still risen by 21% and sporty models by Nike (+580%), Puma (276%) and Killah (240%) have seen dramatic increases in searches.
Wrapover tops and wrap dresses finish the look and searches for both are up, by 90% and 67% respectively.  Dance tutus too have seen a 163% increase.

But which swan do British women relate to most?
With 78% opting for a white leotard and just 22% going for black, it seems British women’s innocence is intact.  For now.
