Welcome to my Halloween Countdown! Over the next 10 days, I will share a daily Halloween treat on social media. It's a spooky and festive time of year, with subversive traditions, eerie history, spine chilling stories, haunting home decor, and enchanting costumes. Halloween Countdown Day 1: Parade of Halloween Costume Concepts Here are my latest concepts for potential Halloween costumes this year as well as ideas for future Halloween festivities. Every year, I have a tradition of creating 2 costumes for Halloween. I like to use real fashion clothing and accessories instead of store bought “pre assembled” costumes for the sake of originality. My Halloween costumes are always a “character” with a backstory and identity that I “become” when I dress up. I draw upon timeless folklore, literature, history, fashion, and my own imagination instead of stock Halloween characters or pop culture characters. From the left to right, we have Rusalka (Slavic mythology ghostly mermaid), Kawaii Vampire Princess (character inspired by Japanese street fashion), Jorogumo (seductive spider woman from Japanese folklore), and Mad Plant Scientist (inspired by my own life experiences). Will these mysterious ladies materialise this Halloween, or are they the ghosts of Halloweens to come? We will find out soon!
