Capitol Couture recently featured Cinna, the stylist for our favorite District 12 Katniss Everdeen. Read the article below.
By now, avid Hunger Games fans are well aware that Katniss Everdeen
is District 12’s first volunteer Tribute in decades - but she won’t be
the only volunteer on Team 12 at the 74th Hunger Games! Meet Cinna, the
hotly-tipped young stylist who — get this — actually requested to work
with the D12 Tributes. We have to say, this brave if not odd entreaty
has been paying off — everyone from Mayor Luna to Seneca Crane has been
clamoring to see what Cinna’s got in store for 12!
But is it really that surprising? After all, Cinna is no rookie
Tribute when it comes to the arena of Haute Couture. After a number of
years studying under revered Capitol designer and fashion fixture
Judianna Makovsky, he was able to open his own downtown atelier. From
there, he has been designing everything from gowns and headpieces to
club-collar shirts and ultra-sleek anoraks for our city’s elite under an
eponymous label for almost a decade. He is known to go deep
conceptually - constantly breaking new ground with innovative textiles,
materials and even chemical compounds - applying them to everything from
gowns and headpieces to club-collar shirts and ultra-sleek anoraks. His
designs and ensembles have been described by many as elaborate, unique
to their wearer and awash with emotion.
For such a calm and collected guy, we find the effusiveness of
Cinna’s design captivating. He told us, “For as long as I can remember, I
have always channeled my emotions into my work.” With a wink, he
quietly added, “I think it’s safest that way.”
Speaking of safe, if you haven’t been glued to your TV set like a
normal person this time of year, Cinna can almost always be seen in the
simplest of all-black ensembles accented exclusively by his signature
Liquid Skyliner eyeliner (which, we might add, totally brings out the
adorable gold flecks in his eyes). His minimalism makes even President
Snow’s execu-chic style seem outrageous. When asked about his personal,
visibly understated wardrobe and disregard for Capitol fads, Cinna said,
“I put so much passion and creativity into my work that sometimes
there’s not much leftover for myself.”
And of course we couldn’t sit down with Cinna without asking him the
questions on every Hunger Games fan’s mind: What does he have in store
for the D12’s Tributes at the Opening Ceremonies? True to form, a sly
smile crept coyly across his face as he said, “Let’s just say, when you
play with fire, you don’t always get burned.”
Sounds like Katniss and Peeta are going to be looking hot at the Opening Ceremonies. What do you think, Citizens?
