New
York, NY and Santa Monica, CA September 4, 2013 – Lionsgate (NYSE:
LGF), a leading global entertainment company, and NET-A-PORTER, the
world's premier online luxury fashion and beauty retailer, today
announced an exclusive fashion partnership for “The Hunger Games:
Catching Fire,” the highly anticipated second film of the global
blockbuster “The Hunger Games” franchise.
The
luxury clothing line “Capitol Couture by Trish Summerville” consists of
16 ready-to-wear pieces as well as jewelry and leather goods inspired
by “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and designed by Trish Summerville,
the film’s Costume Designer. The collection will be available
exclusively on NET-A-PORTER this fall in time for the film’s worldwide
release on November 22, 2013.
“I am
extremely proud of the designs that we created for ‘The Hunger Games:
Catching Fire’ and there’s no partner more appropriate for ‘Capitol
Couture’ than the world’s most cutting-edge luxury retailer,”
Summerville said. "I can’t wait to share it with the public through
this exclusive partnership with Lionsgate and NET-A-PORTER.”
Holli Rogers, Fashion Director, NET-A-PORTER.COM,
stated, “When we were approached by Lionsgate to offer the collection
by Trish Summerville to our customers exclusively, we jumped at the
chance. Our customers take their style cues from myriad sources, from
the latest runway shows and street trends to TV and film. Fashion plays
an important role in ‘The Hunger Games’ series and is especially
prevalent in ‘Catching Fire’, and fans of the franchise will see the
film reference in the collection. This is also brilliant fashion in its
own right, and we’re delighted to provide our customers with the chance
to purchase limited-edition pieces designed by one of the most original
costume designers in the industry today.”
Tim
Palen, Lionsgate’s Chief Marketing Officer, said, “In the world of ‘The
Hunger Games,’ one of the ways the Capitol defines itself is through
fashion. When we launched Capitol Couture online (capitolcouture.pn),
it took off and quickly became an out-of-world experience for both fans
of the franchise and those obsessed with the future of fashion. Trish
Summerville’s Capitol Couture collection for NET-A-PORTER is a
brilliant, elegant and chic extension of this effort.”
Summerville
will be honored this evening as Costume Designer of the Year on behalf
of her work for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" at the 10th Annual
Style Awards, which kicks off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.
Summerville has also won the Costumer Designer’s Guild Award for her
work on director David Fincher’s 2011 film “The Girl with the Dragon
Tattoo.” She has designed award-winning costumes in music videos from
top recording artists including Justin Timberlake, Pink, Janet Jackson
and The Black Eyed Peas. Her work can also be seen on Showtime’s “Ray
Donovan” as well as in commercial campaigns for Apple, Nike, Heineken,
Tanqueray, Volkswagen, Diet Coke and Chevrolet.
“The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire” stars Academy Award® winner Jennifer
Lawrence alongside Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson,
Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright,
Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, with Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland. The
film is directed by Francis Lawrence, from a screenplay by Simon Beaufoy
and Michael deBruyn based upon the novel “Catching Fire” by Suzanne
Collins and produced by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik.
“The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire” begins as Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer
Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger
Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson).
Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and
close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along
the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is
still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual
Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem
forever. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a
trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has over 50 million copies in
print in the U.S. alone.
The
first installment of “The Hunger Games” was the 14th highest-grossing
North American release of all time on its way to grossing nearly $700
million at the worldwide box office.
“Capitol
Couture by Trish Summerville” will be available exclusively at
NET-A-PORTER in November. Sign up to be notified of the arrival of the
