Those anticipating the American movie adaptation of Stieg Larsson鈥檚 popular novel 鈥�The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo鈥� have been seeing pictures of star Rooney Mara in her Lisbeth Salander wardrobe for months.

And now Swedish retail company H&M, which has many stores in the U.S., will be releasing a fashion line based on items worn by the computer hacker at the center of Larsson鈥檚 trilogy. The collection, which will be designed by the costume designer for the American film adaptation of the first book, Trish Summerville, will first be sold at the Paris boutique Colette on Nov. 28. It will then be available at 175 H&M locations located all over the world starting Dec. 14.

The American movie adaptation of 鈥淭he Girl With The Dragon Tattoo鈥� is scheduled for release in US theaters on Dec. 21.

H&M creative director Donald Schneider said in that the decision was a natural one because of Larsson鈥檚 country of origin.

鈥淲e sat together and said, 鈥榃hy don't we do something? We are Swedish, this movie has a lot to do with Sweden, which is unusual for Hollywood,鈥欌�� Schneider said.

The collection will consist of 30 pieces, according to an ABC News report, and Summerville that clothing items will include leather motorcycle jackets, faux leather pants, t-shirts and a few varieties of shoes, including boots with studs and gray tennis shoes.

Summerville said in a press release that she wanted the collection to reflect the main character鈥檚 gritty wardrobe choice, but with a slight twist.

鈥淪alander鈥檚 look is very real and very lived in, with pieces that her character has worn for a long time, like her jackets that act as her armour to shield her from the world,鈥� Summerville said in a release. 鈥淚 wanted the collection to have the essence and strength of Salander, with a fashion edge.鈥�

The collection鈥檚 prices will run from $3.95 to $199, according to .
