We received an awesome set of theme suggestions for October's PXFC! I hope you're all as hyped as I am :D
(Because I received more than 10 submissions I want to make sure everyone gets a fair shot, so we'll be doing last month's method of replying to this thread or DMing me with your vote please <3)
Theme suggestions are:
1) Combat Chic
2) Frutiger Aero Revival
this aesthetic celebrates old school, early 2000s internet during a time of rapid technology development and advertisement.
purple. what more can i say? <3 A fearful color to some, signifying barney, the grimace shake, tinkie winkie. A color of comfort to others, being emblamatic of lavender and royalty. How will you take on such a broad, but defined theme?
Plus, it's a great excuse to get drunk with your friends, trick or treat, and binge watch american horror story.
But Halloween isn't just about "the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it" (cady herron, mean girls :3)
It's also the time of year where the door between the living and the dead is unlocked and left open for an entire night. while you go trick or treating, there are spooky creatures lurking, stalking, just out of sight.
Any old trick or treater can dress up as a ghost or goblin. This halloween, dress up as the unimaginable horrors behind that door.. and maybe show the living what it really means to live it up !
6) Cryptid Chic
Let the cryptids of myth and folklore inspire your autumn wardrobe! To create the elusive charm of the Mothman, combine dark tones with glittering highlights that suggest moonlight glinting off wings. To generate an animalistic impression, consider hazy materials like mesh and organza, as well as faux fur. To achieve a "caught-on-camera" image, use more damaged materials, misty or foggy backdrops, and filters. Dress as Bigfoot with a massive silhouette or the Kraken with draping tentacle-like garments in sea-green tones. Whether you're a forest wanderer of a creature or a deep-sea dweller, it's time to prove that the monsters under your bed can be chic!
7) Fairytale Fashion Through The Ages
How fun would it be to take our fave fairytale characters, like Cinderella, Snow White, the Princess and the Frog, Rapunzel, the Little Mermaid etc and transport them into different time periods? For example you could do Cinderella rockin' fabulous 1920s flapper dresses or Snow White looking all chic and modern in 2014. Imagine the styles, the makeovers, and the glam! It’s like mixing magic with a time machine—sooo enchanting and stylish!
8) Mystery Octubre
One morning you're looking out of your window, witnessing a heavy fog flooding the fields, swallowing the cars on the street, the homes of your neighbors and slowly crawling into your garden. You feel a shiver running down your back. Something is coming…some…thing.
Show us your outfit when investigating what mystery is hiding in this Octubre (October) fog.
9) Buckle Bunnies
Rodeo star groupie girls who wanna go for a ride ;) Inculdes plaid (red or pink), cowboy hats and boots, short jean shorts, and of course cowboy buckles. Think coquette or trailer park princess.
10) Clown Core &(᨟ ͜● ᨟)&
This theme is perfect for the Halloween time using fun makeup, ruffles, patterns, hats, and backgrounds. You can make a bright colorful clown, a spooky Halloween clown, a black and white clown, a jester etc. Finally, some of the origins of clown core/culture have some racist history so try to be mindful when creating your looks (using black hairstyles as a white person etc).
11) Utopia x Dystopia
We are travelling into the future, with digital and cyber apparatus advancing very quickly and becoming more integral to daily life every day. Many are optimistic about the future, but many are pessimistic. Will you choose a good future or a bad one?
Here are styles you can research in order to build your outfit:
Dystopia: cyberpunk, atom punk, post-apocalyptic, lunarcore, darkwear, cybergoth, rivethead.
Utopia: cybercore, transhumanism, frutiger aero, tenshi kaiwai, y2k futurism, space age.
12) Autumn Ball
Dear beautiful citizens of Ximboland, you have been invited to the most magnificent of all luxury events, the autumn ball. Be inspired by the richness of autumn colors and create an outfit with the most beautiful dress or suit. Be elegant, mysterious and beautiful while dancing the waltz all night long.
13) Hexes and Hoes
Its time to get a little...Witchy. Pull out your big book of spells, call out your familiars, and of course dress in your most magical attire. Are you a more..."Classic" looking witch? Green skin, pointy hat, black dress? Or are you more of a modern take ala The Craft? Show off your witchy fashion and have a bit of fun casting spells all over Ximboland.
