96th Opening Ceremony

The district Nine tributes are decked out in what can only described as whiteout & criminal. Rhys stuns in a glistening white coat with a beaded headdress featuring pearls from district Four. Meanwhile, Gunner is draped in layers of black and silver chain. There are silver cuffs around his wrists connected to a chain held loosely by Rhys.

Zen's signature style is metamorphosis and he does not disappoint. As the tributes reach the halfway point, red embroidery blooms from the underside of their jackets, hateful words said by either side writing themselves quickly out in layer upon layer, 'traitor' 'pig' 'murderer' 'thief' 'cutthroat' fill every bit of their clothing until the signifying colours of their original outfits are reduced to layers of delicate red lace.

Long strings of red bloom from Gunner's sleeves, trailing behind the pair of them as they walk, detaching themselves and floating down to create a trail of blood behind them. 

The pearls from Rhys' head fall away, white beads bouncing down off the runway. Gunner's chains break revealing a veil dripping with diamond tears beneath, the red lace splits and even their shoes start to tear as wildflowers bloom from their clothes, seeds having been sewn into every piece of their elaborate wear.

The boys are both more flowers than man as they take their final steps and there, at the centre of all of the glory with the flowers blooming outward, lays an embroidered heart bleeding red against their chest.
