How To Dress Like Fashion Week For Halloween

by Arielle Dachille

Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow. With the closing of Paris Fashion Week, the S/S 2015 runway presentations are officially over. Given that the theme of this years RTW shows was basically "stone-cold freak with a Peter Pan complex," this fashion month gave us plenty of memorable moments that we couldn't forget if we tried. Naturally, a Fashion Week Halloween Costume is in order.

Think about it, guys. Plenty of the shows this year sported looks that are basically pre-made trick-or-treat ensembles. Jeremy Scott essentially sent a pack of candy ravers down the runway, styled with the help of Miley Cyrus' necklaces made from stocking stuffers At the Moschino show, Scott continued his costumey takeover with an entire collection of Barbie clothes for full-sized people. Who could forget the gargantuan bows affixed atop the models' heads at Sibling, or the unturned baskets repurposed as hats at Vivienne Westwood. Then, there was jewelry made from feminine products at Meadham Kirchoff, which we simply can't unsee.

Whether or not any of these trends will catch on IRL, they certainly gave us a myriad of costume ideas. So, without further ado, here's your guide to dressing like Fashion Week for Halloween this year. After all, everyone loves a shameless pop cultural reference costume. Just ask the Ice Bucket Challenge.
