Helluva Halloween...

With Halloween fast approaching, we've been searching the online fashion archives, on the hunt for some spook-tastic costume inspiration.

Imagine our joy when we stumbled across filmmaker Tim Burton's fantastical shoot for Harper's Bazaar (2009), shot by fashion photographer Tim Walker.

Featuring a host of designer labels - Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Balmain and more - this wonderfully theatrical shoot portrays the dark delights of the season - the macarbre, the spooky and the spine-tinglingly scary, whilst also delivering an undercurrent of glamour, style and sophistication. Exactly the inspiration we were looking for. For those who'd prefer to give a more subtle nod to the 31st October, why not consider a piece of skull jewellery. Perfect for Halloween - and beyond.
