Scariest collections ever?

[shirleebee]

In light of Halloween, post pictures/videos from what you consider to be the most disturbing runway presentations.

My #1 is Alexander McQueen - The Voss Collection

^^Fantastic ones. at Baby Phat! [/URL]

McQueen FW 07 is also really scary. In fact, I remember reading it made one little girl in the audience cry!

I think Gaultier RTW FW 06 has a Halloween-esque feeling as well.

After that traumatic flashback, CharlottefromCA, I'm definitely gonna have to go with Baby Phat.

Rodarte Fall 2008 - also one of my favorites ever!

 

[from: sophia]

I love all these shows so much I mean I love dark clothes so I guess that helps and Halloween is like my favorite time of year Rodarte is so amazing I want tights like that I just find the show so inspiring and I know how critics claim how Rodarte is so artistic and unwareble I would wear it. (well if I could afford it. McQueen is such a brilliant designer as well

Yup, this thread might as well be called "my favorite collections", because so many of them are. Minus Baby Phat

My first choice would probably be McQueen's F/W 98 Joan of Arc collection, the models look absolutely demonic and the set looks like some torture chamber out of a horror movie....it's pretty great.

You can get a brief glimpse at it around :50 in this clip.

And then there's McQueen's F/W 01 collection. Only he could make clowns creepier.

I was going to post those!!! Especially the 1998 one.
So many McQueen collections hit the macabre note convincingly. The execution is amazing. Even the Fall 2007 (?) witchcraft-inspired collection is a good example.

A lot of Riccardo Tisci's work for Givenchy is (obviously) very gothic. And while I doubt the intention of Tisci is to scare (like many of McQueen's collection do intend to do), many of Tisci's designs conjur up images of witches, vampires, voodooism, Morticia Addams, gothic fairytales, beastly creatures, mad scientists, etc.

Givenchy RTW SS 06 ("The Shining" twins!)
