The simple answer is accessories. It's all in the care and
attention to detail to the little things that makes a Halloween
Costume over the top. Sarah Wallner CEO of
Musotica.com and celebrity
stylist says, “When you wear a costume you're telling a story, if
you're dressing as Poison Ivy you want to have ivy leaf leg wraps,
it's in those details that a character really comes to life.”
Every
story has it's elements and accessories like the elements of a story
are integral to the telling of tales. Annie Oakley would be nothing
without her
gun and an Indian Princess wouldn't be regal with out her
headdress. Accessories keep a costume fresh, alive, and unique.
Wallner says, “Hollywood is all about the business of
telling stories. In order to give full justice to a story every
element has to be paid attention to. Much like writing a book,
creating a costume, is an art of putting multiple elements together.
”
The more you want to make your costume pop and truly tell
a story, the more you'll want accessories. The character of a costume
can be defined by the simplest thing, such as a pair of
secretaryglasses. The type of hat being worn can speak levels to who a person
is. With this kind of craft and care into story telling.
As the old saying goes, “The devil is in the detail,” every
part of your costume counts, especially the parts that are missing.
The addition of a
choker to your sexy school girl costume can define
what type of character you are. Each detail is like an integral part
of your story, who you are, what you're saying, and how you say it.
