HALLOWEEN is right around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to dust off your old costume or unleash your creative genius to craft a brand-new, entirely unique ensemble.
To help you stand out and send shivers down spines, here are some fantastic suggestions from the acclaimed fashion designer Marianne Martin, the visionary behind Nouvelle Haute Couture:
First and foremost, decide on a distinct look or theme that captures your imagination. Once you’ve settled on one, let your creativity flow and expand on your design to make it truly remarkable.
Sustainable fashion meets Halloween spookiness. Give old clothes a second life by repurposing them or altering their colors. Layer vintage clothing to achieve that captivating gypsy or witch effect.
Elevate your costume with intriguing details like patchwork, beads, sequins, and embroidery. Don’t forget to add necklaces, bandanas, belts, and bangles to complete the gypsy look. And what’s a witch without her trusty broom? Grab an old one to complement your attire.
Embrace your inner DIY spirit by creating your accessories. With a piece of cardboard, you can craft a bewitching witch’s hat. Cut out a pattern, adorn it with black satin fabric, and add a touch of glamour with a stylish buckle. Pair it with some boots, and you’re all set to enchant the night.
For a classic, eerie vibe, stick with black or grey, which are traditional Halloween colors. However, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to go as an anime character, neon shades can bring a whole new level of excitement to your costume.
Nouvelle Haute Couture is conveniently located at Robinsons Galleria Ortigas, White Plains, Quezon City, and soon at Robinsons Ermita. For more inspiration and updates, be sure to visit their Facebook page.
