FASHION Plates: Your ultimate guide to the haute-ifying Rocky Horror Picture Show

Comments

Trick-or-treating aside, one of our favourite Halloween rituals has to be attending a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show. For those of you virgins (we’re not really calling you virgins) who have never been to a show, we implore you to try it for yourself this year. There are generally midnight showings for many days leading up to and on Halloween night, and it’s a great excuse to dress up, bring some rice to a theatre, and let your freak flag fly.

But, what to wear? The Rocky Horror look can get a little trashy at times, so we present our ultimate guide to haute-ifying it. Yes, some of these price tags are a wee bit of a splurge for one night only, but we predict that you’ll want to wash and repeat for many years to come.

Haute fashion dolls are having a bit of a moment. Witness the Lady Gaga Barbies created by Beijing enthusiast Veik, or the designer finger puppets by Rubbish Magazine. Next up are some truly spectacular creations by New York artist Andrew Yang. Yang, who has designed for Dennis Basso and has a collection of couture dolls called The Kouklitas, created a set of big-eyed beauties dressed in Spring 2010 looks from Proenza Schouler, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, Gareth Pugh et al. for an issue of The Block magazine. The dolls will eventually be available on The Kouklitas website with a retail price of about US$600 or Yang can make you a custom piece if youre designer love leans a different way.
