Vintage is another option when it comes to looking for a lapel pin. For evidence, look no further than "The Hunger Games'" President Snow, who manages to pull off the perfect balance of futuristic and retro by sporting a slender metal lapel pin that holds a white rose. According to the film's costume designer Judianna Makovsky, the silver stem, designed to hold a moist bit of cotton in the bottom with a flower bud on top, was a 19th century Victorian corsage pin that belongs to Snow's portrayer, actor Donald Sutherland, whom Makovsky describes as an avid collector of vintage men's accessories.
