Black Milk Clothing Nails Halloween Style

by Rosie Narasaki

I think we can pretty much agree that few brands do Halloween better than Australian cult classic Black Milk Clothing. Last year the label blew us away with a Halloween collection that covered everything from adorable Jack o' lanterns, to rather macabre blood-splattered leggings. Heck, it was so cool that even Katy Perry saw fit to wear some of the brains-printed separates from the line.

Yep, Black Milk Clothing has some rad offerings year-round — don't even get me started on the Game of Thrones-inspired collection; I've been coveting those Rhaegal-inspired leggings for the better part of a year now — but it's definitely Halloween when the brand goes all out. As founder/head designer James Lillis pointed out in a press release sent to Bustle, "Halloween is like Christmas for our community — it’s the most anticipated time of year, so we like to go all out with our Halloween releases!"

This year's line, dubbed the "Lady Anarchy Collection," brings back some of the favorites from last year (hey, you can never go wrong with blood-splattered skater dresses and cthulhu-printed leggings) while also adding in a cool steampunk-inspired look. As Lillis says, "This year’s collection is inspired by a steam punk, neo-Victorian aesthetic – it’s beautiful and elegant, yet creepy and fun at the same time, which really suits the general Black Milk style."

Sounds cool, right? Let's take a look at some of the most beautiful/elegant/creepy/fun pieces from the collection!
