Costume Critique # 8

In the movie Mockingjay which is part of the Hunger Games franchise,  costume designer Judianna Makovsky, Bart Mueller, and Kurt Swanson are the three used to create the wardrobe of the movies. Bart and Kurt take over in the later films but the first film was done by Judianna. They allow us to see the dynamic of Katniss Everdeens character take on a more militant role as a symbol for all those wanting to stand up against The Capitol and President Snow. We see Katniss have her clothes become tailored for battle, dark leather, with black and more armor. This to ensure her image as a leader that will intimidate the enemies in the Capitol. The movie intentionally puts her ins situations where she will have the background of war and destruction. We witness her transition from her taking her little sisters place in the hunger games to becoming a recognized symbol of hope. I personally love how they changed Katniss's look while keeping her iconic bow and arrow and braided hair. They keep who the world fell in love with and made her into someone they would still identify as a representative of their cause.
