capitol portraits
We just discovered that the gorgeous dress from Johanna Mason's Official Capitol Portrait was designed by Dutch designer Jan Taminiau. The dress is from Taminiau's appropriately named F/W 2011 Collection, Nature Extends. It shouldn't surprise you to find out Lady Gaga has worn Taminiau's designs many times. Gaga seems to be a big inspiration for Catching Fire costume designer Trish Summerville.
Thanks to MyHungerGames.com for the info!
Buzzfeed recently shared the six Capitol Portraits THEY wanted to see. Here are our favorites from that bunch:
Lady's Portrait by John Gara/Buzzfeed
Mockingjay Portrait by John Gara/ Buzzfeed
Monkey Muttation Portrait by John Gara/ Buzzfeed
They also did a Buttercup Portrait but we're still in love with Tribute Design's version HERE.
See all six at Buzzfeed.
Capitol Portrait Edit by i-want-to-know-nothingLast week was a crazy whirlwind of fangirling/fanboying as Capitol Couture revealed the Official Capitol Portraits. Yay! Now that we've all had a little time to come down from our adrenaline rush and study the portraits a bit (obsessively), we wanted to share YOUR hilarious, poignant and - as always - brilliant thoughts on the (mostly) hits and misses.
Liza H @bizcochito73: Johanna! Was a top notch reprisal of the character, her wit, wild, brave, unwavering spirit. Fierce and cunning.
Just A Normal Girl @Normal_Girl: Even though Peeta is my favorite character, Gale's portrait just captures the whole essence of his character
Luchii Sotelo @LulaSotelo: Finnick, Peeta and Katniss are the best!!
Tatiana @FairieWriter: Finnick! (What can I say? I'm a huge Sam fan.) Other than that, Katniss. Love her, her dress, and her attitude.
Rosie @lovettspastries: Totally Effie! Her dress is stunning.
Joan @joanlh9: I love the McQueen-esque vibe in Johanna'a dress again. Are we sure Sarah Burton isn't behind the scenes somewhere there?!?!
Kevin Dunlap @kdunlap53: Woody Harrelson plays a great Haymitch. You can just see the sadness in his face!
Jen's Spark @WiressBeetee: Amazing "wirey" details on Beetee's waistcoat and trousers! Simply Stunning!!
HutcherBride @HutcherBride: THEY ALL HAVE WHITE ROSES IN THEIR HANDS, I'M SCREAMING.
Jessi @raineygrey: Finnick's face is perfect! He's sexy and pretty but it's obvious there's more to him than that. He has a loaded expression.
JJ @jj_watching: Finnick's portrait perfectly fits the books. He's sexy but you can see the sadness in his eyes for being forced into this role.
Sam Claflin Fans @SamClaflinFans: Finnick is not what we expected, but it's better. It's unique and says a lot about what's to come.
Maggi Rippelmeyer @MaggiNoel: I think Gale's white rose is perfect. Let's not forget that Snow uses Gale as a way to get into Katniss' head!
GuyTribute @C4tnipEv3rdeen: Johanna!!! She's fierce...Represents her perfectly.
Connor Hale @OhHaletotheno: I think Katniss was the most elegant and beautiful one. She's gorgeous and I love her!
Jaycie Marie Black @JaycieBlack: Katniss is absolutely stunning in that dress! When I first saw it my jaw dropped! And the mockingjay wiring? #OMG!
RealornotrealNews @THG_RONRNews: Peeta, Katniss and Finnick! They are amazing!
Morgan Herreras @gigglegirl7307: the silver twisty things around the top of Katniss' dress are a silhouette of a mockingjay #WHAT!?!?!
Jennifer's Oscar @pandemoniumD13: PEETA.♥ Josh is basically my favorite person on this earth so...
Tisha Maldonado @TishaMaldonado: (on Peeta) omg. How gorgeous can one person be?? I loved those portraits, esp Katniss and Peeta. Completely giddy w/excitement!!
Everlark Edit by ariverofpureemotionKatniss Granger @CatnippMellark: Why isn't there a new timer? We want Prim. And Plutarch. And Mags. And Wiress.
Amanda B @amandab716: So bummed about no #CapitolPortrait of Plutarch. Seriously!? How does it even make sense to omit him!?
RealornotrealNews @THG_RONRNews: This is sad!! #NoMoreCFPortraits We wanna see Plutarch!
Romulus Thread @HG_Peacekeeper: Peeta's picture shows that Uggs carry on in a post apocalyptic world
Holy Bechloe Feels @swiftlyvoegele: (on Snow) as my sister says, "Nobody likes you, go home"
