Catching Fire costume designer Trish Summerville is giving Katniss fans the chance to channel their favorite heroine with her newly-launched Capitol Couture collection, which is now on sale exclusively on Net-A-Porter.com.
We recently caught up with Summerville at LA's Chateau Marmont for a preview of the surprisingly wearable line. She told us she didn't limit herself to the confines of a traditional design process. "Since we were doing a small capsule collection, we got to pick and choose each individual piece," she said. "We didn't have a certain color we had to stick with." The end result? A wide range of items, including the standout piece — a bold, blue, digital-print interpretation of Katniss's mockingjay dress ($550) that's stunningly similar to the movie version. There are also track jackets inspired by the Tributes' arenawear ($375), t-shirts featuring bows and arrows ($75), and even a Katniss-inspired earcuff ($185). Click through to preview some of the key pieces and to hear which looks were ripped straight from the pages of The Hunger Games.
![Translating the often over-the-top styles the inhabitants of the Capitol wear into pieces fans of the films could actually own was Summerville's overreaching goal with her Capitol Couture pieces.
"It is that kind of thing of figuring out which pieces will literally translate, and what will be marketable, and what are things people need in their closets?" she said. "I always use the comparison of translating a book into film . . . There are certain things in a book that won't translate to film [and] there are certain clothes on film that don't translate into your lifestyle. I did some sketches and pulled out some adaptations of what we thought would work. There are some pieces that we completely made new for this."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/Y83FZymBwb29Oy86B2ZlS3UJMyg/160x160/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-:sharpen-!1,0,true!-/2013/11/14/943/n/1922564/819592185260f36c_Capitol_Couture_by_Trish_Summerville_NET-A-PORTER_3_/i/Translating-often-over--top-styles-inhabitants.jpg "Translating the often over-the-top styles the inhabitants of the Capitol wear into pieces fans of the films could actually own was Summerville's overreaching goal with her Capitol Couture pieces.
