Have you always wanted to feel like a Victorian woman wandering the drafty halls of a massive estate? Well, now your dreams can come true thanks to Los Angeles-based apparel company and high-end Gothic fashion house La Femme en Noir! In collaboration with Legendary Entertainment, they’re bringing to life Guillermo del Toro’s 2015 feature film, Crimson Peak.
“Crimson Peak is a lush and atmospheric gothic ghost tale, which thoroughly fits our brand,” says Lynh Haaga, co-owner and designer of La Femme en Noir. “Every time I re-watched the film for inspiration, I was struck by the cohesive attention to detail, the thematic elements of costume, color, and set design, and the visceral impact of its visuals. From the living house itself to the stunning Victorian costumes, Crimson Peak is rife with all of the elements that we hold dear as designers: gothic romance with a hint of the macabre.”
“We are excited to be working with Legendary again after our collaboration with them for our sister brand Vixen,” says Micheline Pitt, co-owner and designer of La Femme en Noir. “With all of our collections and collaborations, we look to films or franchises that we love personally. We want each film to invoke the same aesthetic as our brands, often filled with elaborate world-building, costumes, and a dark gothic beauty that speaks to us. Crimson Peak features such rich visuals and costumes so beautifully draped in horror that it felt like a perfect fit for our brand. We are excited to expand our offering of Victorian-inspired pieces with this new collection, as we welcome you to Allerdale Hall.
