Our badass aussie has signed with Bonds Underwear and we have to admit that we want him for Christmas!
The brand is considered a national symbol in Australia and has been making underwear since 1918, three years after it was founded.
Jai has recently said that training for ‘Terminator’ has gave him the confidence he needed to undress for Bonds:
“It came about at a time when I was in the throes of having to get into shape for [The Terminator] film I’m working on — so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect for an underwear campaign, that’s for sure,” Courtney said, with a laugh.”
“I guess that alleviated a little of the anxiety that would have come about with the nature of this kind of shoot. But I’m proud to be associated with the brand they’re obviously an iconic part of Australian history really.”
We hope you are as delighted as us, to keep up to date with more ‘Divergent’ news follow us on twitter @DivergentFction.
Today kicks off Erudite week. E! Online has exclusively revealed the sketches for Divergent costumes by Carlo Poggioli.
Carlo gave us a special look at the costume sketches for all of Divergent‘s different factions and the thoughts behind each look.
From Abnegation to Dauntless, keep reading to see all the costumes!
Abnegation: “The Abnegation faction puts other peoples needs in front of their own with no hesitation,” explains Carlo. “The colors they wear are shades of grey, the fabrics are all natural fibers and very plain, like wool and cottons. And the cut of the clothes is very simple and rough,” he says. “Tris [played by Shailene], is born into Abnegation, and so she wears clumsy clothes. And throughout the story she becomes more sensual and confident after she hones her great abilities in the Dauntless faction, which is also reflected in her costume transformation.”
Dauntless: So who are the Dauntless, exactly? Carlo explains: “The faction of fearless protectors that face challenges head on are known as the Dauntless. The main colors are shades of black with some accents in orange, red, and purple (the color of the fire and flames) to distinguish the different ranks,” says Carlo. “Orange and grey are for the newcomers, red for the Dauntless-born, and purple for the higher ranks (trainers such as Four, Eric and the lieutenants). The patterns are very functional with many pockets to contain the objects needed for the training (knifes, ammo, etc.) and all the fabrics for Dauntless were custom made.”
Erudite: “Science, intellect and curiosity form the basis and foundation for the Erudite faction,” says Carlo. “They wear different shades of blue with some shadows of other cold colors. The fabrics are more techno than the others, and the costume cut is very sharp and shaped,” he explains. As for the inspiration? “The idea for their costume came to us from the shape of a lab coat that we reinvented.”
Candor: “The Candor faction sees the world divided in light and darkness, true and false, so they wear clothes in black and white,” says Carlo. “The cut is soft, the fabrics are simple and plain but always with details and stitches in contrast. The men’s jackets and the women’s skirts are also shorter than the other factions.”
Amity: So what does the peaceful faction, otherwise known as Amity, wear? “Amity are farmers and produce food for all of the factions, so they wear natural earth colors like orange, dark red, a touch of green and brown,” says Carlo. “The fabrics come from their fields, like cotton and linen. The cut is very practical and comfortable for working in the fields.”
