Module: FSH1100 Title: Generic Fashion: GET THE LOOK: CAPITOL DRESS

I recently did a thing for Geek Syndicate where I wrote about the Capitol Couture revamp. It’s a Hunger Games based site that’s been re-launched in celebration of the new film, Catching Fire, due to be released November 22^nd this year. The new Capitol Couture has more of a focus on high fashion similar to that of Capitol fashion seen in the films.

I wrote a follow-up post, which showed how to get the Capitol look but with high street garments instead of high-end fashion. You can find that post here (when it’s up on the site). I then thought it’d be interesting to do a ‘Get the Look’ post for a more expensive outfit using high-end high street, and also one achieving the make up style of Capitol fashion. The make up post can be found here.

Dress: This stunning number from French Connection is a classic example of Capitol fashion. It’s fitted waist and gathered skirt reflect Georgian dress and is a lovely neutral colour, which you can team up with any bold accessories.

Shrug: Exaggerated shoulders and shape is what comes with this beautiful feather shrug from Ted Baker. Key elements of the Capitol look.

Belt: This ASOS gold metal belt will synch in your waist and break up the dress to create an hourglass silhouette. It’ will also match your other gold accessories.
