"Hunger Games" Inspired Collection To Sell On Net-a-Porter
Fans of 'The Hunger Games' novel and movie franchise may now dress the part of a Panem citizen, thanks to a clothing collection made by the movie's costume designer.
Capitol Couture by Trish Summerville will be available exclusively via Net-a-Porter starting Nov. 22, the same day 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' will be out in the American theaters.
The capsule collection consists of 19 ready-to-wear pieces, including jewelery and leather items, and will be sold from $80 to $400.
Summerville talked to PopSugar about the creative process in making the capsule collection, saying "(s)ince we were doing a small capsule collection, we got to pick and choose each individual piece."
"We didn't have a certain color we had to stick with," she added.
Aside from the fans of the franchise, Summerville hoped the pieces from her collection will also land on the wardrobe of as many women as possible.
"I really wanted to create a collection that spoke to the women of today and made sure to have an array of pieces that would fit in her closet, from cocktail dresses to leather pants," she told Racked.
Summerville is also happy to have her collection available in Net-a-Porter because "there's no partner more appropriate for Capitol Couture than the world's most cutting-edge luxury retailer."
On the part of Net-a-Porter, Spokesman Holli Rogers said the company immediately jumped off the chance to sell Summerville's collection when Lionsgate approached them.
He described the collection as "brilliant fashion in its own right," and that they are "delighted to provide our customers with the chance to purchase limited-edition pieces designed by one of the most original costume designers in the industry today."
This was not the first time that the award-winning costume designer made a capsule collection. In winter of 2011, she tied up with Swedish clothing retailer H&M for her collection inspired by Lisbeth Salander of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.'
Currently, she is working with 'Dragon Tattoo' Director David Fincher on the movie 'Gone Girl,' but movie fans cannot expect a ready-to-wear line from the movie because according to Summerville, "It's a completely contemporary film."
Aside from her stint in movies and retail, Summerville has also made costumes for music videos of recording artists such as The Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson and Pink.
