Scariest collections ever?

[Navygreen]

Do you mean "Halloween-esque" scary or "trauma-inducing" scary?

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^I think either works.

Christopher Kane SS 08...the collection was inspired by cheap, B-horror films...with the grungy mixture of tattered bleached denim, dusty snakeskin, steel toed boots...you can easily picture these girls with hockey masks and blood-stained chainsaws!

Scary in whatever sense you see fit. Collections that we celebrate in the Halloween context.

Luella Fall 2008 (sick, witchy, and somehow cute)

In the cutesy vain I think that Giles Decon S/S 09 is great for halloween with the pac man ghosts

Dont forget about the boys

John Galliano fall 2008

can never have enough Givenchy Couture Spring 2008

Christian Lacroix Spring 2008 Couture

I think that the staples in Viktor & Rolf F/W 2008 really gives off a sexy Fankenstine vibe

I forgot how morbidly bizarre Galliano's Dior veered before it fell into Eisenhower era retreads!
Inspiring! The makeup, especially, is brilliantly horrid.

I was going to post the outfit on Irina Bordarenko. It is just so perfect for this thread.

Some really good examples...I concur that Alexander Mcqueen has a penchant for disturbing, macabre, and dark presentations...One of my favs is AW1999 "The Shining", it is hauntingly creepy
