Unless you've been buried underneath a rock for the past view years, you probably heard of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, or The Girl who Plays with Fire, or The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Rooney Mara, recently on the cover of Vogue, beat tons of talented actresses to the role of Lisbeth. Lisbeth Salander, the bad-ass main character/hacker, is boyish and awkward, "a pale, anorexic young woman who has hair as short as a fuse. [...] On those occasions when she had been wearing a tank top, a dragon tattoo can be seen on her left shoulder blade." The movie was based on the novel Stieg Larsson, a Swedish novelist, and the H&M label is also based in Sweden(this is so predictable, but how am I going to start it?) So the costume designer of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Trish Summerville collaborated with H&M based on the character of Lisbeth. The collection, full of leather jackets, worn shirts, sweatpants(yes, sweatpants) and hoodies, is clearly the style of Lisbeth, but in a more feminine, sophisticated way.
Anyway, I just started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The mysterious tone of writing and the descriptive language really drawn you in, since I love reading mystery and detective novels. Can't wait for the movie, which is coming out December 21st. Just one more reason to go to the movies.

You should see the Swedish film adaption of the book. It's really good and it doesn't have the Hollywood gloss the American version has. Not saying the American version doesn't look good...
ReplyDelete@Splendorous One I'll watch all the Swedish film adaptions after I finish all the books. Although American movies tend to be overrated messes, this is seem better than the average movies though.
