Zombies! People everywhere are fascinated, even obsessed with these ghoulish undead, a perennial favorite for Halloween costumes. In fact, it was reported last week that zombies are worth over $5 billion to the economy!
But looking like a zombie year-round? Not exactly socially acceptable unless you want to be mistaken for a homeless heroin addict.
Too bad, because zombies can be pretty interesting to look at. The strategically revealing clothes, the washed out makeup, the awkwardly stilted walk, the unfocused distant gaze, the complete lack of emotion. I mean, we could be talking about runway models.
I guess in that sense, a lot of runway collections have a certain zombie element. But a full-blown zombie inspired collection? May sound crazy, but the S/S 2010 collection from Lonely Hearts took a stab at it and makes me think, come the zombie apocalypse, I'm not sure which side I'd rather be on!
There are several key elements to Lonely Hearts's "Brains for Dinner" collection which make it a complete zombie-fest:
Gothic Victorian Lace
Rotting Flesh Toned Fabrics
Ghostly Silhouettes
Cut-Out and Slashed Pieces
The Lonely Hearts "Brains for Dinner" collection definitely brings out that inner ghoul. Or maybe just that inner goth punk rock star. Siouxsie and the Banshees anyone?
Anyways, have an awesome Halloween! Looks like much of the snow will melt today, and hopefully everyone has power back in time to watch their favorite scary movies tonight!
