Just in time for Halloween, Hughe Lippe nails a potent mix of elements that are stylish, sexy and downright sinister in his shoot for HERO issue 12. Mathias Lauridsen stars as the protagonist of this dark tale of possession, smartly styled by Gro Curtis into slick black outfits and a slicked-back men’s hairstyle that only serves to reveal Lauridsen’s piercing, feline eyes.

Last year, we were all about those pretty Halloween makeup tutorials mixing the best of fantasy and glamour. This year, we kept the beauty factor on our mind, but added plenty of cool twists to the make-up list, just to keep things interesting and inspiring for you. From gradient lips surrounded by a sea of hearts and glitters, to gray scale black and white flapper…

Before dismissing sexy ladies in bunny ears as flippant, know that I am of course aware of the significance of Easter as an event on the religious calendar. Yes I spent my Easter Sunday morning at a historically and architecturally fascinating Portuguese church, listening to mass in a language I couldn’t quite understand. Outside the pews the original message is, as with every major Christian…

Halloween-lovers, today is your day: you can go all out in flesh-rotting zombie makeup (or maybe try some of these pretty halloween makeup looks instead), you can eat candy and carve pumpkins. We at Fashionising.com won’t be doing much of the pumpkin carving, but as for the costume part – well, we at least have time to admire some Halloween-themed vintage pinups. After the break,…

Wicked costumes, free candy, wild parties and a whole lot of fun. With Halloween rapidly approaching, that’s pretty much what everyone is thinking these days. But celebrating while getting into the Halloween spirit, doesn’t necessarily imply going crazy on the guise. If the scary dolls, the evil zombies and the sugar skull faces aren’t your thing, there’s no need to be stepping outside of your…

Model and socialite Poppy Delevingne was spotted at the The Global Fund GGC event in London on the 16th of September. Poppy was looking extra chic while clad in a Burberry outfit, matched by a pair of lace cat ears. Let it never be said that ear headbands are just for Halloween.

There’s a fine line between an outfit that feels like a Halloween costume, and an outfit that feels like pure, fantastical, fairytale magic. Luckily for Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri, they walk it often – and always manage to keep their balance. And so for Red Valentino’s fall / winter 2013 collection – with its gingerbread prints and folkish charm – it’s damn near…

A few nights of the year, we all get a free license to go crazy with hair and beauty looks we wouldn’t normally wear. Halloween is one of them. New Year’s is another. When it comes to a big New Year’s Eve party you want to feel the thrill and excitement of ushering in a whole new era. If that means looking more boldly glamorous…

Zombie eyes and vampire bites, Raggedy-Annes and leather-clad clowns. Halloween is like a free pass to either sex it up or get ultra gory, and the fashion world was doing both this week. We’re not entirely sure who Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, in lingerie and a Dello Russo sized serving of accessories, was dressed up as – but she couldn’t go unnoticed. Natasha Poly, meanwhile, makes for…

Witches, hornets, magpies and the living incarnation of a casino. With today’s date being October 31st, sharing these vintage costume illustrations from 1887 was somewhat irresistible.
