Horror Fashion in Yellow

Clothing the undead was vital to the Universal horror games of the http://playhorrorgames.com , and many films were given their signature looks through the combination of Vera West’s costume design and Jack Pierce’s makeup. Pierce’s design for the Monster in Frankenstein (1931) made Boris Karloff an overnight star and became the defining look for the Creature first imagined by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley in 1818. West, head of Universal’s costume department from 1928, costumed some of Hollywood’s earliest monsters and accompanying damsels in distress. The Horror-obsessed Mulleavy sisters behind the Rodarte label drew on ideas of assemblage and construction for autumn/winter 2009, including Karloff’s Frankenstein. “Franken-Green” was a key colour, and strapped leather resembled straitjackets and body bags. The Monster also resurfaced for summer 2013 courtesy of Christopher Kane, who used nuts and bolts as fastenings, complete with prints of Karloff in his finery.
