The Twilight Hour: If Everyone Jumped…

Nylon magazine’s November issue spotlighted Anjelica Huston in The Witches as inspiration for donning witch-wear all-season. We couldn’t help but recall her role as Morticia in The Adam’s Family nor realize that indeed, a dark spell’s been cast on fashion. So completely, in fact, that even TV-time and Midwest malls are showing sure signs of being affected. (E.g. Nordstrom’s New Moon Line for BP.)

Many trends in motion today lend naturally to an evil appeal: fierce shoulders, animal print, full-body leather atop towering heels and an armor of aggressive accessories.

Notably, Alexander McQueen’s women were eerie and imposing in Cruella de Vil esque prints and bulbous red lips and Daphne Guinness (perhaps the lady of the night) apparently received the memo – attending McQueen’s show in frightening contacts. And Chanel beauty’s Noirs Obscurs ode to black arrives just in time for sundown. As we head into the season of harvest moons and hallowed eve’s, will you take on these haunting looks?
