TIM BURTON/HALLOWEEN.

Usually, I love Halloween. Or at least all the hype that surrounds it. I love horror movies, skeletons, all kinds of ghosts and ghouls and, of course, sugar, and lots of it. This year was rather dull, but that's another story.

Over the past few days, I’ve begun to think about how fashion can totally be inspired by monsters. A couple of days before the actual holiday (which is a Sunday, as I sit here and write this) I attended a Tim Burton themed Halloween party, and it got me thinking about how much I love the aesthetics of the characters in these films. Their gigantic hair, dramatic makeup and thoroughly fabulous get-ups. Personally, I chose to disguise myself as Beetlejuice for the occasion, and enjoyed every second of it in my silky striped shirt from H&M, black tights (which I shredded the hell out of) and crazy purple and green eye makeup, even applying lashings of talcum powder to my backcombed hair.

Black is undoubtedly my favourite colour to wear, and I simply adore the costumery in Tim Burton masterpieces such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd, to name just a few. In 2009, the Tim Burton-inspired fashion editorial featured in Harper’s Bazaar blew my mind, and I cannot help but love every single delightfully dark ensemble which I saw. Why can’t everyone dress like this?

Tim Burton- I love you. An unlikely fashion icon by all accounts, but an icon all the same.
