    Thomas

    DJ and musician, New York

    “Halloween in New York is the best – one year I saw both a helicopter costume and someone dressed as a shower with curtain, everyone dresses so elaborately! Once I had a Halloween themed birthday party – it was so funny to walk around with a group of ghosts and silly costumes in December!”

    • 1. Make a list of Halloween costume ideas throughout the year.
    • 2. Don’t leave your costume making to the last minute.
    • 3. USE OLD CLOTHING FROM YOUR WARDROBE.
    • 4. Be original!

    GALLAGHER

    Fashion Designer, New York

    • 2. Get tons of hairpieces in various colors.
    • 3. Have lots of cheap make-up that you won’t mind being destroyed.

    ALICIA
    POLMANTEER

    PR director of GrandLife Hotels, New York

    “Halloween is one of my favorite nights. You can get up to mischief without anyone knowing it's you. A couple of years ago I dressed as a bed bug, I went to a party and there was a guy dressed as a mattress – you can imagine it was love at first bite!”

    Cheat Sheet

    • 1. KEEP YOUR COSTUME A SURPRISE.
    • 2. If it’s last minute, opt for blood, black and scary contact lenses.
    • 3. Find costume inspiration from movies, social happenings and songs.
    • 4. Avoid any ‘trend’ costume – like Lady Gaga.
    • 5. Get creative and team up with friends to make a bigger impact.

    MONIQUE
    AQUINO

    Owner of Buttons and Bows boutique, Los Angeles

    “Halloween is an excuse to dress up and look ridiculous – a day to express your alter ego. This year I’m thinking of dressing up as the dead Miss Argentinean receptionist from Beetlejuice – if I have the time, energy and resources to make it happen, I will!”

    Cheat Sheet

    • 1. Don't procrastinate.
    • 2. Dress as your favorite cult movie or TV characters.
    • 3. Don't opt for the slutty nurse or any of those ‘sexy’ options.
    • 4. Try to plan a group costume.
    • 5. Source your costume from thrift stores – be original.

    MICHELLE
    LAINE

    Jewelry designer, Los Angeles

    “In Los Angeles there’s great parties every night for a week surrounding Halloween. Ted Field, Adam Levine, and Heidi Klum all throw kick-ass parties. I love Halloween and all the crazy costumes – but mostly I love that it brings out the kid in us all.”

    Cheat Sheet

    • 1. Be original – make your own costume.
    • 2. All-in-one ready-made costumes look cheap – don’t do it!
    • 3. Mix wardrobe pieces with vintage finds.
    • 4. Complete your look with a home-made mask.
    • 5. I always use something from my lingerie drawer…

    GALLEGOS

    Make-up artist, New York

    “Halloween gives you the chance to be somebody else for a night. It’s such a fun party night because everyone looks insane. My best Halloween costume was a reinvention of the ‘Kandi Raver’ look I rocked as a teen!”

    • 2. research – details are very important.
    • 3. Stay away from trends.
    • 4. Don't take the easy way out with a SEXY costume.
    • 5. Don't half ass it! Go all the way – or why bother at all?
