Similarly, Katniss’s style in Catching Fire makes a pretty obvious statement. How many mockingjays had to die to make this gown?

Are simple natural fabrics more your style? You may get kicked out of the Capitol, but you’d be right at home in one of the districts (sorry about the hardcore manual labour). Are you a fan of fairy floss wigs and Elizabethan style dresses? You’d fit right in at the Capitol. Reflecting the real world, the clothing in Catching Fire is used to delineate between the rich and poor, obviously on a way more stylised level (we still can’t imagine investment bankers and lawyers getting around in bright blue lipstick or fake butterfly wing eyelashes anytime soon). This meant she ended up with over 50 boards from which to take cues when designing looks for the film, on top of the 6000 extras she was required to dress. When the second film began production, it was approached with a reinvigorated focus on style: the filmmakers brought onboard costume designer Trish Summerville to take the franchise from its beginnings as a tween phenomenon to something more fashion-forward, befitting the book series.įor Catching Fire, Summerville created a separate inspiration board for every character, as well as each District in Panem. While the first film’s aesthetic was a tad understated, with Effie Trinket being the main outlet for anything remotely interesting in terms of fashion, the outrageous outfits described in the books have been brought to the fore in Catching Fire. Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins was super specific when describing the clothing of her characters in the novels the flamboyant styles of the Capitol serve to emphasise the poverty of the outlying districts, and highlight the changes Katniss undergoes as she goes from foraging for food in the forests of her hometown to becoming a Hunger Games victor.
