An exclusive behind the scenes look at the H&M Dragon Tattoo Campaign Shoot

If, like me, you found it impossible to put down Steig Larsson's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy (I think I finished all three books in a record 4 days!), you might just be interested to know that H&M are collaborating with Trish Summerville, the costume designer of the forthcoming ‘Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ film, to produce a small womenswear collection. We've been given an exclusive behind the scenes video of the campaign photo shoot which features an introduction by H&M Creative Director Donald Schneider followed by a look at Trish talking through the key pieces of the collection and how they were designed and created.

As you would expect from a range inspired by the feisty Lisbeth Salander, the 30-piece collection is dominated by a dark industrial colour palette, customised biker leathers and distressed denims with just an occasional flash of colour.

“Salander’s look is very real and lived in, with pieces that her character has worn for a long time, like her jackets that act as her armour to shield her from the world. I wanted the collection to have the  essence and strength of Salander, with a fashion edge, and I’m pleased with the result! My goal is for women to find pieces in it that they love and then mix them with their own wardrobe to create their own personal style,” says Trish Summerville.

The collection debuts exclusively at the boutique Colette in Paris on 28th November, with its own dedicated in-store area. The collection will be available from 14th December in Divided departments in around 180 H&M stores worldwide, as well as online.
