While dreaming up my new Halloween costume post, I got to thinking how often times designers' avant garde creations can turn out almost costume-y. Runway shows are the epitome of conjured up themed looks.
Looking at Spring/Summer 2010 collections, these were some of my favorite costume inspirations: Barbie at Versace, Wilma Flimstone at Jeremy Scott, Zombie Brides at Rodarte, Dorothy at Christopher Kane, and Jocks at Alexander Wang. How perfect hmm? I definitely wouldn't mind rocking this runway garb to a halloween party!
What are you going to dress up as for Halloween?

We were thinking the same thing!! And also did a post: http://fashionableearth.org/blog/2009/10/26/pret-a-porter-halloween/

ReplyDeleteYou're right! I think about that sometimes. I am not dressing up this year, might go for a drink and check out the parade but that's it.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna go as Wima Flintstone inspired by this look! Instead thou ive opted for going as cartoon character from Thundercats tv show from the 80's.. lol..

i am in love with this post!
ReplyDeletei am going to be a native american - headdress and all!
Loved Dorothy at Christopher Kane - there's something about The Wizard of Oz that I simply cannot resist.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll be going as an angel - though I haven't bought a halo yet. I do, however, have a tiara. So if worst comes to worst, I'll simply be a Princess Angel! :)
What a great post! I would love a Wilma, but my outfit is very Rodarte now you mention it! Will be posting in on my blog for Halloween x
ReplyDeleteOh how fab! I love their versions. :) I'm going as Pocahontas!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend is being Dorothy with her yorkie as Toto. So since I didn't have a idea yet, I am going to be the Lion with a simple brown dress, ugg boots turned down to show the fur, and ears.
ReplyDeletei love the rodarte outfit! i still dont know what i'm dressing up as but all these looks would be perfect

ReplyDeletetotally agree with you . some runway deals are worth for halloween costumes . I love the flinstones one . it's not too cartoony, not overtly sexy, but people still get the idea that you're flinstones !
