The post Net-A-Porter launches a Hunger Games: Catching Fire-inspired capsule collection appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Despite being set in a dystopian future, style inspiration for the highly anticipated second Hunger Games film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire seems to be rooted in the futuristic fashions of today. In a series of stills gradually being released by the studio, Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks are shown wearing looks that appear to be inspired by the Fall 2012 collections of Alexander McQueen and Christopher Kane.

The Telegraph has confirmed that brand representatives from Alexander McQueen are denying that any dresses were custom-made for the movie, but the style inspiration is unmistakable. In one image Banks, who plays the uptight Effie Trinket, wears a standout look with red ruffles that fits right in with Sarah Burton’s Fall 2012 Alexander McQueen collection. Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence also dons a McQueen-esque look in a promotional image which shows Katniss Everdeen looking as regal as a queen. The Telegraph shares another image that has Katniss on stage with co-winner of the Hunger Games and potential love interest Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) wearing a sleek dress with Christopher Kane’s signature moiré pattern from his Fall 2012 collection.

After reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you’ll most likely want to become the twisted anti-heroine Lisbeth Salander. However, given the lack of job openings for high-tech crime-solving vigilantes, it’s much easier to dress like her—and now especially so with H&M’s newest collaboration. The Swedish retailer is bringing the Swedish character’s signature style to the masses: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (that is, the American version of the film) costume designer Trish Summerville has created a dark and industrial collection inspired by Salander. The pieces all have a worn-in, personalized feel and include slashed T-shirts, rough-cut denim, and tight-fitting leather jackets and pants—in a range of moody greys, maroons, and black. And thankfully, there’s not an actual dragon tattoo to be seen.
