The film served as the inspiration for new, licensed products developed by nine artisan brands. "Director David O. Russell mentioned the costume design was receiving energized compliments at the film's pre- release screenings," Hawbaker reflects. "I was tapped to envision a promotion-meets-fashion concept that would help extend the experience of the film for audiences." By hiring a creative who passionately understands the original content inside and out, the studio gets the economy of fast-tracked ideas and resources, the retail platform gets exclusivity and access to Hollywood talent, and the consumer benefits with a more authentic and multi-dimensional experience. Hawbaker elaborates on director David O. Russell's engagement, "David's unflinching support and the studio inviting me into this process allowed us to bring something truly special and progressive to the customer by providing the magic of the filmmaking process to the greater public."
