‘The Nun II Relic’ Trailer Brings Big Valek Demon Scares With It

Fashion House La Femme En Noir celebrates gothic horror by bringing to life designs inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Los Angeles-based apparel company and high-end Gothic fashion house Micheline Pitt Design has announced a fashion collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula. A Fall/Winter 2023-2024 Apparel and Accessories Collection is forthcoming.

“Bram Stoker‘s Dracula is truly a dream collaboration for me; I still remember seeing the film at a local movie theater for my birthday when I was a kid.  It had such a huge impact on me. The costumes, the elaborate set pieces, the incredibly beautiful yet horrifying practical effects, I was nothing short of mesmerized. Being Romanian, I have had a long obsession with vampires, especially the story of Dracula, so getting to design a collection that is so entwined in my heritage is a unique and rare opportunity. I love that both myself and my business partner, Lynh Haaga, can celebrate elements of our cultures that were so beautifully woven into the costumes of this film. We hope that others who grew up loving this dark romance as much as we did will enjoy all the pieces we have thoughtfully put together for this collection,” said La Femme en Noir co-owner and designer Micheline Pitt on the collection, which is inspired by the film’s costume design. “It is really unique with a very specific style that is unlike anything done before.”

La Femme en Noir co-owner and designer Lynh Haaga concurs: “Micheline and I were asked a few years ago by Rue Morgue Magazine, ‘What would be our dream studio collaboration?’ We didn’t hesitate to say in unison, 1992’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula! The film’s amplification of character through costume is brilliant. We felt this movie was a perfect project for us, considering Micheline’s Romanian heritage and my East Asian culture. We are excited to showcase our interpretation and hope we’ve created a unique collection with deference to the source material.”

This first-ever fashion collection for the film will be a concentrated and smaller capsule collection that is focused on the couture details of each garment.

“La Femme en Noir is excited to collaborate with Sony Pictures Consumer Products. We are also thrilled to help change the landscape of what licensing looks like with unique designs and collections that are fresh and exhilarating in the world of licensed apparel.”

DRACULA ARMOR GROUP

BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA – Quilted Order of the Dragon Armor Pieces in Blood Red Vegan Leather.

Custom-designed in soft quilted vegan leather inspired by the intricate musculature construction of Vlad’s Order of the Dragon battle armor. The color is symbolic of the blood that he spills and craves.

We have taken the striking helmet design from the film and recreated a screen-accurate 3D model of it as a bag worthy of showcasing. Made in sturdy sanguine PVC this bag features the frightening musculature design from the film.

CROSSBODY BAGS

BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA – Gargoyle Sculpture Crossbody Bags in Black and Quilted Red

The ominous DRACULA sculpture relief is the highlight of this intricately designed hard-shelled cross-body bag. The monstrous gargoyle is flanked on either side by bloodthirsty wolves. A foreshadowing symbol of what Dracula really is. This sculpted piece is plated in a shiny gunmetal tone, and spikes adorn the shoulder rest of the double chain strap.

FILM INSPIRED DRESSES

BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA – Lucy Bustier Gown With Matching Cape in Fire Orange

This dress symbolized Lucy’s slow transition from proper Victorian mortal to a vamp. The rich orange hue is striking against the night scenes in the movie. The bustier of the dress is built from the ground up with cotton/spandex oriental floral jacquard placed under strategic rows of pleated chiffon across the front and back of the bodice. Boning throughout holds the structure of the garment, while a soft and flowy red-orange chiffon maxi skirt completes it. The dress is topped off with a dramatic long and full sweep cape with collar and front spaghetti ties.

BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA – Mina Satin Bustle Dress in Blood Red

This lush satin dress is inspired by Mina’s look from the movie. The costume choices in the first half of the film signify her as a proper Victorian woman in modest cuts, and this is the first time we see her less buttoned up as she is being seduced by Dracula. The bold red shows up only on Mina and Dracula, intertwining their everlasting love and passion.

BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA – Embroidered Order of the Dragon Wrap Dress in Scarlet Red

One of the most iconic costumes in BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA is the scarlet red kimono-inspired robe. This sumptuous robe as seen on the ancient Count in his castle, was a unique and inspired choice rather than the traditional black cape we’ve seen in other re-tellings. The robe represents the hold that the past has on Dracula and his aversion to change in his current environment. The rich blood-red satin is symbolic of gothic horror.
