Carnival of the Couture: Every Day Can Be Halloween/When You're Alexander McQueen

This week's Carnival of the Couture is hosted by Style Graduate, and the question is:

For this week's Carnivale, I want to know what runway look you would wear as a Halloween costume. And no cheating; it has to be an outfit actually sent down a runway by a designer! So go forth, fashion bloggers, and find photos of your costumes!

I checked the rules VERY carefully, and nothing says you can't use Alexander McHenry! (Or Galliano, either, that would make it much too difficult.) So, I present to you my runway outfit/costume for Halloween: Quarterback in the Lingerie Bowl, in a uniform designed by the Rev. Howard Finster.


Alexander McQueen

This is the Pink Team's uniform, of course. If you click on the image you'll find what the Blue Team's uniform looks like, too.

It's a shame this was from the Spring 2005 show and is no longer in production, because I would TOTALLY wear this for Halloween. It would certainly top my previous favorite Halloween costume, which was "Bond Girl" — I made a silver satin mod-style dress and carried a toy M-16 spray-painted silver. (That was also the year Mr. Dress A Day went as J. Edgar Hoover — he had a brush cut, and he wore wingtips, hornrims, a fedora, and … an orange polka-dot dress. Genius.)

My next choice was "Mad Max Beyond Glasgow":


It's the duck's guts!

  1. These guys must hate women. I bet they contemplated becoming women-murdering serial killers, but decided that death was letting us off to easy. Better to design horrendous clothes, convince women to wear them and then laugh, laugh, laugh. Alexander McMonkey McBean anyone?”No you can’t teach a sneetch.”

  2. I like the Mad Max beyond Glasgow.Matter of fact I wish I was in Glasgow right now. I dont dress up for Halloween I have not done it in years. Mr. Floridaprincess is not into it. I do enjoy looking at costumes in the fashion magazines.
