Summerville is brilliant at what she does, and has created costumes for some very successful films and for television (Wasteland and Ray Donavan).  Prior to 'Catching Fire', her most well known film designing credit was for her original work on 2011's 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.'  

Summerville's work on Dragon Tattoo inspired a popular ready-to-wear line of clothing at H & M, and now 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' will be the inspiration for Capitol Couture by Trish Summerville, which will sell exclusively at NET-A-PORTER.  Make sure to pre-register for updates, and be the first to have access to the high fashion line:
