The upcoming release of The Hunger Games is undeniably one of the year’s most anticipated films. While the books are about high stakes, the movie is showcasing high style as well.
On the official Tumblr, Capital Couture, Rodarte has been revealed to be contributing to the film’s undoubtedly outlandish and extravagant costumes. The site also hints at other collaborations, such as McQueen. Contests are being run for fans to design shoes and make-ups looks, as well as to become “Capital Stylists.”
Fans of the series will know about the book’s descriptions of the bizarre and eccentric style of the characters from the Capital, as well as the importance of Katniss’s stylist Cinna and the outfits he designs for her (played by Jennifer Lawrence and Lenny Kravitz).
In addition to the movie’s wardrobe, a nail polish line will be put out by China Glaze, called “Capital Colours,” and will feature the character of Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) as the face of the line. There are 12 colours to correspond with the 12 Districts from the series.
We can’t wait for the film’s release on March 23rd to see how the looks of the Capital are brought to life!
