The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo premiered Dec. 27th and became one of the largest grossing movies of the year. It was adapted from both the book by Steig Larsson and the Swedish version of the film, which grossed $100 million in its opening week and starred Noomi Rapace, a big Swedish actress. The newest version stars Rooney Mara, a very interesting looking actress who starred in The Social Network, as Lisbeth Salander. Lisbeth is a very powerful woman who defends other females with her awesome fighting and hacking skills.

H&M found her to be an inspiration and therefore an icon. They decided to get the movie’s costume designer, Trish Summerville, to design a 30-piece clothing and accessory line based on the tough heroine’s style. The line debuted Dec.14 and featured pieces ranging from $9.95 to $199 in the color scheme of black and grey (tough girl chic). It was so popular that the clothing in some places, such as Los Angeles sold out within 10 minutes.

I think everyone needs a little dark nostalgia in their lives and I would definitely buy a couple of pieces from this collection, especially a replication of Lisbeth’s black thorn-looking earrings from the movie. I am not sure if this line will last very long since there may be lot of controversy, but while you can, you should definitely check it out. Be fierce my fashionistas!
