Prepare for the revolution! If you thought The Twilight Saga was an infectious bit of pop culture, wait until to see how the upcoming Hunger Games film has already taken the real world’s fashion industry by storm. Scoot over “and so the lion fell in love with the lamb” hoodies, and Cullen crest jewelry. Industry giants, from designer Alexander McQueen to popular nail polish brand China Glaze are getting into the spirit of the Games. You ladies who adore shoes are really going to want to get a load of this.
What could be better than mixing your love for The Hunger Games, novels and upcoming movie alike, and your love for strappy heels? Over at the website Capitol Couture, these things converge, just as real world fashion and the on set costume and make up design for the film do. Filmmakers are only further revealing their dedication to getting this book adaptation done right, with these sneak peeks at fashion details, like various footwear for different characters at different stages in their Hunger Games experience.
For instance, Effie, acted by Elizabeth Banks, is from the wealthy and decadent capital city. She has to look the part. Boomtron faithful have already seen her powdery pink wig and Asian-inspired dress. Today you can see her gold heels. The website also reminds you, in true Effie style, that clean nails are a sign of class. Katniss is from the coal mining district and she hunts illegally so that her family might survive. Her nails are never clean, that is, they aren’t without considerable effort from her style team.
At first sight, I thought those fantastic brown leather boots were for Katniss actress, Jennifer Lawrence, but now, I’m not so sure. According to the site, the shoes revealed here belong to random fashionable citizens. Only the “towering 24-Karat front-zip booties” are identified as belonging to Miss Effie Trinket, worn when she greeted her District 12 Tributes during their arrival at the Capitol Train Station. And “Cordovan equine leather balmorals” a.k.a. the black, professional, men’s shoes accompanying the tan slacks belong to Head Gamemaker, Seneca Crane.
I Love the style! Very interesting!
