It includes a deep emerald-green evening gown with ruched waist, a laser-cut patent leather mini-dress, and sleek contoured black sportswear pieces in high-tech fabrics. Including jewellery, leather goods, sports pieces and cocktail wear, the line is not a literal version of Hunger Games costumes but rather a range of wearable pieces for fans (priced between £60 and £800). Josh Hutcherson’s character Peeta wears outfits by Korean designer Juun J and Rick Owens, while Alexander McQueen designs are seen on Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), who wears several theatrical gowns, including a sculpted spring 2011 butterfly-bedecked dress and an autumn/winter 2012 frothy pink gown.Įcommerce retailer Net-a-Porter has collaborated with Trish Summerville, the film’s costume designer, on a 19-piece collection inspired by Katniss. The film is packed with costumes from avant-garde designers such as Indonesian Tex Saverio (beloved of Lady Gaga), who created the white frothy wedding dress worn by lead character Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence). Trilogy may have begun as a tween/teen phenomenon but the next film instalment, Catching Fire, which opens this week, is pitching itself as an altogether more sophisticated creation – at least in fashion terms.
