Renowned Gothic fashion house La Femme en Noir has set the stage for a dark and enchanting winter with an exclusive fashion collaboration inspired by Guillermo del Toro’s haunting 2015 film, Crimson Peak. Partnering with Legendary Entertainment, the high-end apparel company is bringing the film’s gothic aesthetics to life in a collection that marries the macabre with elegance.
Scheduled for pre-orders launch on December 22nd, 2023, this much-anticipated collaboration promises to transport fashion enthusiasts into the atmospheric world of Crimson Peak. The film, known for its lush gothic ghost tale, has served as a wellspring of inspiration for Lynh Haaga, co-owner, and designer of La Femme en Noir.
“Crimson Peak is a perfect fit for our brand,” Haaga explains. “The film’s cohesive attention to detail, thematic elements of costume, color, and set design, as well as the visceral impact of its visuals, align seamlessly with our gothic romance aesthetic with a hint of the macabre.”
Micheline Pitt, co-owner and designer of La Femme en Noir, expresses excitement about working with Legendary again, following a successful collaboration with their sister brand Vixen. Pitt notes, “Crimson Peak felt like a perfect fit for our brand. We are excited to expand our offering of Victorian-inspired pieces with this new collection, inviting enthusiasts to experience the allure of Allerdale Hall.”
