Designer's Halloween: Have your Pick



It's Halloween tomorrow and if you still haven't picked your outfit, don't despair: the catwalks are full of inspiration, from scary to sexy romantic pieces.

Of course Gothic has taken as a trend this autumn, but Luella seems to have adopted Halloween as a fashion theme in its own right in her autumn/winter 2008/09 show.

Inspired by Pagan dress, puffy-sleeved blouses, pointy hats, orange tights and crepe hair are sure to make a magical impact this winter.

It's probably only a matter of time before the broomstick gets in style as well.

The collection makes you smile and does look like a trick and treat sassy hunt at times, but there were many wearable pieces to spot: the series of cocktail Gothic dresses with splashes of gold, worn with lace veils can really catch the eye in a snowy weather.

Whats more, the blue and coral red tartan shirts under mini black dresses make up a very sexy look.

It might be cautious to stay away from the elf hats as soon as the Halloween parties are over though. They are certain things that simply don't flatter, no matter how quirky they look on Alice Gibb.

For those who want a more 'classically spooky' outfit, Rodarte presented a whole range of cobweb tights, and a lot of designers showcased all things orange ranging from peach to tangerine to burnt orange.

Or you can go with Rosksanda Ilincic's satin floor-length gowns with geometrical cuts and wide-shoulder capes. Inspiring if you want to give the Dracula-lady look a modern twist.
