11 Designers Pretend to Know What the Hunger Games Is

I'm pretty sure everyone in the world is absolutely stoked for The Hunger Games to be released in March. Seriously, this is about to be the next Twilight. And it has a huge advantage: the books are WAY better.

The main character, Katniss, played by the gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence, dons a fire dress -- which serves as one of the most important props in the trilogy. InStyle got 11 of our favorite designers to sketch what they think the dress should look like -- and you're seriously going to die when you see the results.

Everyone from Christian Siriano to Rachel Roy stepped up to the challenge and trust me when I say it's just beyond. Click through for some awesome looks and let us know which one is your fave.


TOMMY HILFIGER


BCBGENERATION


THE BLONDS


ERIN FETHERSTON


TIBI


CHRISTIAN COTA


NICOLE MILLER


CHARLOTTE RONSON


TADASHI SHOJI


RACHEL ROY


CHRISTIAN SIRIANO

Seriously, this is about to be the next Twilight.

can they stop already
wonderwomanhero 7th-Dec-2011 05:18 am (UTC)
mte we need to stop referring to things as 'the next twilight'. howabout lets just not compare anything to twilight and let it rot and be forgotten about in 20 years lol
zoaster_toaster 7th-Dec-2011 05:29 am (UTC)
I like this idea.

YES.
ljubavirakija 7th-Dec-2011 05:19 am (UTC)
What if it was called "the next Harry Potter"?
beatlesluv 7th-Dec-2011 05:36 am (UTC)
I don't like this either. They are not the same thing, nor will they ever be. None of the film franchises people compare to each other are the same.
enjoyyourbunny 7th-Dec-2011 05:40 am (UTC)
I honestly, truly believe the only reason HP/Twilight comparisons came into existence is because Robert Pattinson would not be famous if he wasn't Cedric. I know soooo many HP fans who gave Twilight a shot solely because of liking him, both as an actor and as a cute guy, including myself.
kwikimart 7th-Dec-2011 05:47 am (UTC)
The promo is clearly being modelled after Twilight tho, that's not even the press' fault in this case.
It pisses me off too but whatevs at least J.Law can act and has a future beyond The Hunger Games as a respected actress.
xdecadentx 7th-Dec-2011 10:44 am (UTC)
The cast and people involved with this film are doing it, not the press.

This is why I have little hope for this movie.

I hope it's just the marketing and not the actual film.

"Seriously, this is about to be the next big pile of shit."
shining_lore 7th-Dec-2011 09:01 pm (UTC)
I agree on stopping with the Twilight reference, but girl you know it's gonna be just as big if not bigger.
squirrels_oh_no 7th-Dec-2011 05:16 am (UTC)
Wait, do The Blonds design for drag queens? I could see that tearing up RuPaul's Drag Race.
s0ftlyraining 7th-Dec-2011 05:20 am (UTC)
Yeah. And usually pop star performance outfits.
vehiclesshockme 7th-Dec-2011 05:29 am (UTC)
That was my first thought exactly.
no_x_doubts 7th-Dec-2011 06:20 am (UTC)
they do actually
rare_lj 7th-Dec-2011 05:16 am (UTC)
pretty! I like the second, but I don't know anything about the Hunger Games

A few of these make me think of Jean Gray/Pheonix, like Christian Cota
iheartfamke 7th-Dec-2011 05:18 am (UTC)
these putas wish!!!
wonderwomanhero 7th-Dec-2011 05:18 am (UTC)


Jean's too fierce for this though.
kathrineskye 7th-Dec-2011 05:19 am (UTC)
ALL of them make me think of Jean Gray/ Phoenix
chantonii 7th-Dec-2011 05:44 am (UTC)
Oh, that's who they remind me of!
cickiz 7th-Dec-2011 05:58 am (UTC)
My thoughts while looking at this were "these would be great X-Men costumes" since I don't watch Hunger Games.
anniemann101 7th-Dec-2011 07:19 am (UTC)
i disagree and agree with everyone else. you mentioning jean made me go.. um what? never crossed my mind she's too awesome for these!
anniemann101 7th-Dec-2011 07:22 am (UTC)
the last drawing tried it though

*is bitter a bitter comic queen stuck on frank quitely's drawings and joss whedon's awesome stories*

southon17 7th-Dec-2011 05:17 am (UTC)
Christian Siriano's is beautiful, but....


it's a dress! what's with all the capes and pants?
ths_years_girl 7th-Dec-2011 05:26 am (UTC)
I'm guessing those are supposed to be the chariot outfit for the opening ceremonies thing? But the article does say dress so idk...
jessiedwheelie 7th-Dec-2011 06:07 am (UTC)
but wasn't the chariot outfit a dress?
iheartfamke 7th-Dec-2011 05:17 am (UTC)
judging tibi rn for that model they drew with a severe eating disorder.
wonderwomanhero 7th-Dec-2011 05:19 am (UTC)
What?!
ljubavirakija 7th-Dec-2011 05:21 am (UTC)
MTE.
hershelwalker 7th-Dec-2011 05:24 am (UTC)
lol you
_xxtom 7th-Dec-2011 05:26 am (UTC)
lol ikr wtf is that even
undersea 7th-Dec-2011 05:31 am (UTC)
Aah! I love your icon. I met Famke recently and she always had that dog with her. He was so cute.
iheartfamke 7th-Dec-2011 07:24 am (UTC)
OMAGAH I'M SO JELLY!!!!!!! Was she nice, how did you meet her, like randomly, or at an event/party?
friedslippers 7th-Dec-2011 06:13 am (UTC)
lmao
i_heart_pizza 7th-Dec-2011 08:56 am (UTC)
my first thought was that drawing looked like a corpse
guccipucci 7th-Dec-2011 11:38 am (UTC)
you obviously don't know anything about fashion sketches.... it's not meant to imitate reality.
shiningautumn 7th-Dec-2011 05:18 am (UTC)
love the shoji

lol @ erin featherston, did she even try.
acustica 7th-Dec-2011 05:20 am (UTC)
She did better than tibi. The fuck is that? it looks like a 5th grader drew it.
hershelwalker 7th-Dec-2011 05:25 am (UTC)
she can't help that she's boring.
mellieebelliee 7th-Dec-2011 06:39 am (UTC)
The shoji is my fav. Fuck, I'd wear that in normal life. I'd be fab. lol
sessile29 7th-Dec-2011 07:42 am (UTC)
only one that comes close
nancyboy11 7th-Dec-2011 05:29 am (UTC)
Marceline and Princess Bubbblegum shipping?
hershelwalker 7th-Dec-2011 05:29 am (UTC)
I hate the whole nine head thing. I don't even get why designers use figures when flats are way more practical. This isn't how it's gonna look on a real person anyway.
crabnebula78 7th-Dec-2011 05:41 am (UTC)
Agreed on hating the 9 head thing. I learned figure study with 8, took a costume design class where the teacher was like "lol this isn't fashion, also that's dumb, stick to 8."
ljubavirakija 7th-Dec-2011 05:18 am (UTC)
The second drawing is a gorgeous piece of artwork; but makes no sense as a design
deethy 7th-Dec-2011 05:22 am (UTC)
oop this was not supposed to be a reply to you, lol sorry bb

mte. Like that thing is quite literally on fire.
honesttoblog 7th-Dec-2011 05:53 am (UTC)
mte it would make a pretty cover for the book though
chikntetrazzini 7th-Dec-2011 04:27 pm (UTC)
Maybe it could be feathers?
dolces 7th-Dec-2011 05:18 am (UTC)
lol @ all of those capes
s0ftlyraining 7th-Dec-2011 05:19 am (UTC)
Surprisingly, the BCBGeneration one is my favorite. It will be interesting to see how the movie attempts to pull that dress (and all of Cinna's designs really) off because I don't think it will be good.
sasandwich 7th-Dec-2011 05:29 am (UTC)
I agree with everything you said.

I feel like the movie is going to rely waaaay too heavily on the cgi for the fire dress. I'm not saying that they need to actually light her on fire, but something tells me it's just going to be flames edited over her body when, really, it could be so beautiful. Imo they need to start from a fashion design and find a way to make the flames move/shape around her body like fabric would.
acustica 7th-Dec-2011 05:19 am (UTC)
favs: Christian Siriano, Charlotte Ronson, bcbgeneration and Christian Cota.
guccipucci 7th-Dec-2011 11:40 am (UTC)
bye
nicholasdee 7th-Dec-2011 05:19 am (UTC)
none of these are real designers anyway. bcbgeneration and christian siriano? lol

jeveuxmacaron 7th-Dec-2011 05:23 am (UTC)
smh at nicole miller

i also snorted laughing at all of these upon first glance tbh
hershelwalker 7th-Dec-2011 05:29 am (UTC)
ugh christian siriano
anabanana0714 7th-Dec-2011 05:19 am (UTC)
My favorite of these "what would you design" things was Kate Middleton's wedding dress. Kimberly Ovitz made my life that day.
vehiclesshockme 7th-Dec-2011 05:31 am (UTC)
I'm still pissed she didn't wear my dress.

fauxparadiso 7th-Dec-2011 05:33 am (UTC)
HDU give her arm an eating disorder.
wonderwomanhero 7th-Dec-2011 05:40 am (UTC)
This could work as an outfit like, substitute the arms as flowing sleeves like this
