Steig Larsson's novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo isn't just getting the Hollywood treatment, it's getting a fashion makeover with the newly announced H & M Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Collection.
H & M's new collection will be inspired by David Fincher's take on the novel with the protagonist Lisbeth Salander being the focal point of inspiration. The Swedish brand has hired the film's costume designer Trish Summerville to create 30 pieces to bring the character's tough, punk-rock personality to life. The H & M Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Collection will consist of distressed jeans, hacker-issue hoodies, leather racing jackets, graphic tees and more. Want fashion with style, grit and attitude? This is it.
The collection will debut at Colette in Paris on November 28th. It will launch online and in H & M divided departments on December 14th.
