Sure, we all longed to try on the Titanic ‘Heart of the Ocean’ gemstone, considered dressing like an action hero when Lara Croft came onto the movie scene, and maybe even popped out to buy some Harry Potter specs, but somehow the Twilight film series has captured the imaginations of an unusually large number and variety of designers.
Described by Vogue as the hottest colour for winter 09/10, the ‘intoxicating twilight hues’ seem set to become a staple part of any trendsetter’s wardrobe. With a multitude of designers paying homage to the film- albeit indirectly- the colour is set to become ubiquitous this party season. Everything from Chanel’s blue satin nail varnish right up to Alexander Wang’s mini sequined dress have been inspired by the blockbuster films.
If it’s the official merchandise you’re after then Nordstrom is the place to go, although such was the frenzy surrounding the launch last month that it’s almost certainly sold out by now. Anyhow, wouldn’t you rather avoid looking like a teenage groupie and instead achieve cutting edge cool this winter?
The second installment of the Twilight series, New Moon, is out now.
