For this fashion shoot we took inspiration from our favourite Horror films and TV Shows. From American Horror Story: Coven, The Addams Family and Hitchcock’s The Birds to the 80’s cult classic, Carnival Magic. Using a mix of vintage pieces and high street gems (that you can still get your hands on!) we pay tribute to these films and more importantly to their amazing costume designers – particularly Edith Head and Lou Eyrich who seamlessly turn our screens into a wearable runway. I hope you enjoy pouring over these whimsical photos as much as we did bringing them to you!
“All that power . . . I just took it, poured it back into myself, and dressed it up in Chanel.”

‘Fashion is not about buying a second skin.
Fashion is about having a fantasy’.
– Alber Elbaz
“What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen, he’s become a different person.”
– Edith Head, Hitchcock’s costume designer for’The Birds
‘Black is such a happy colour’
– Morticia Addams from The Addams Family.
