Tattooed and pierced with jet black hair, Lisbeth Salander of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo may not (yet) be a style icon, hwever, costume designer Trish Summerville is hoping The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for H&M capsule collection will appeal to more than just the goth culture: “I don’t want it just to be girls that are tomboyish or punky, I hope it’s someone that’s quite feminine as well,” she said in regards to the desired shopper.
In the YouTube video just released, take a peek at the collection’s bad to the bone leather, torn up tees and combat boots (and don’t forget to admire the fussed up, rock star braids!). Distinct, edgy, and some parts mod, this collection will make a statement in its entirety.
The collection will be available at H&M starting Dec. 14th and the movie hits theaters Dec. 21st.

FPD got the opportunity to attend TEEN VOGUE’s Fashion University, the exclusive weekend-long event (October 21-23) which was designed for the fashion-focused leaders of tomorrow. What a great opportunity to take part in — how many people get to sit in on personal seminars with Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler? Here’s a recap of the event’s curriculum, broken into classes, or panels, that we attended, courtesy of TEEN VOGUE.
MICHAEL KORS: THE AMERICAN ICON
“I was incredibly, insanely fashion obsessed!” Michael began. Impatient to get going, Kors did what he could to see it all, read it all. He literally consumed the industry in the way it consumed him, joking about his valiant efforts at getting Italian Vogue delivered to New York City.
As a young student, Kors held on to the aesthetic he felt so strongly about; a chic woman semi-undone. Still, he felt ready – ready to enter the world and figure out the puzzle of getting dressed for so many. Finally came his big break: while working at a local store, the owners asked if he would re-design last season’s jeans. In fashion terms, they were out. But, what was in? It was evident Kors knew what women wanted – (“I love women,” he told the audience earlier) – and the store owners took advantage of that. Soon enough, it became his “thing” as he would do it all himself; he designed, worked, and made window displays… and it all paid off. Bergdorf Goodman’s Fashion Director approached Kors after seeing his window display. That very night he sketched out his collection to bring to them. They loved it, and the rest is history.
