Costumes on the Runway

Fall is officially here! Which means one step closer to Halloween ;)

Launch Fashion Show and NYFW  already ended and I thought it would be interesting to know what High-Fashion costumes would look like on the runway. Some would disagree to this idea that costumes should serve the purpose of one's personal enjoyment (oh you know LARPING ;P)  BUT! My curiosity has got the best of me.

This first costume inspired look is by the wonderful and spontaneous Betsey Johnson. Just by looking at the bright vibrant colors I knew that it belonged to Betsey (plus the necklace states her name on it). I can tell that this outfit is Ballerina-like due to the fabric being used (tulle) and the shape of garment (round shaped skirt). I also love the purple tint to the look (can you guess why? :) )

The second costume inspired look is Tinker Bell. What gave it away? Besides the greenish gold hue, the huge bun  depicts the character very well. I do admire the corset look (especially when it's sweetheart shape!) I can't forget about the pleated detail (it reminds me of leaves!)  This garment could also represent Poison Ivy. Overall, I feel that this look should have been a one piece or at least have more coverage.

Can't wait to see more extravagant ideas that will be on the runway!
