Best Movie of the Summer Idea of the Year: Moonrise Kingdom

There are a surprisingly low number of movies this year that have been able to produce iconic looks for their characters. Sure Looper and Magic Mike may have been some of the more stand out films this year but do you really remember what they were wearing (or not wearing in the case of Magic Mike) as opposed to films like Black Swan and Drive that came out last year? We may not remember the plot of Drive in the future but we'll never stop associating that movie with that iconic scorpion jacket. Natalie Portman gave an unforgettable performance in Black Swan however, her make up and costume will give you chills to remember for decades. It's unfortunate I can't get that feeling from any movies that have been out this year!


The movie that comes the closest to a memorable wardrobe is none other than Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. Anderson is a man that always gives his characters a very unique iconic look and Moonrise Kingdom is no exception. You still see people galavanting around in red beanies and blue jumpsuits on Halloween so I wouldn't be too surprised if we saw a few Khaki Scouts this Halloween.



For those who have never seen Moonrise Kingdom, it's a heart warming tale about two of the most fabulously dressed kids who live in 60's and are trying to run away so they can be together. The costume's visibility does depend on who has seen the movie, however, Wes Anderson is no strange name to cinema so I wouldn't be surprised if this costume were instantly recognized and adored. 



If you're looking to stay chic this Halloween and love 60's style just as much as I do then Suzy Bishop is a must for those who can find a cute little pink dress and a pair of saddle shoes! This is also a good chance for anyone who needs a good idea for a couples costume as well. 


Who this costume is for:
  • Wes Anderson fans
  • Those who want to stay warm and chic on an October night
  • Anyone who is obsessed with 60's fashion but is looking to stay relevant to modern times
What you'll need:
  • An old boy scout uniform
  • A Raccoon hat (preferably vegan)
  • A cuffed pink dress (equip with a pink beret)
  • Saddle shoes

Kawaii Ojiisan Idea of the Year: Sailor Suit Old Man

Can we start off the 2013 Halloween season with this guy? I think we should start off 2013 with this guy. Meet "Sailor Suit Old Man," aka Hideaki Kobayashi aka GrowHair, a cosplay photographer who is famous in Japan (and all over the internet) for dressing up as a school girl every day and rocking it. What do we really know about this guy though? Is he a rock star? I wish. Is he a weird old guy who just happened to be a Tokyo notable? Definitely. Kobayashi is a cosplay photographer who just happens to want to dress like a school girl all the time and lives the dream doing so. Nobody gets the least bit famous simply by being themselves so today I'd like to raise a glass (and this costume tribute) to this guy for being famous for being every bit of himself. If we learn anything from this guy, it's that school girls will flock to you if you have the confidence to put on a cute skirt. Who this costume is for: Anyone who dreams of cross-dressing  Ev...

Hacktivist Idea of the Year: Anonymous

Anonymous, an online civil activist group, has picked up the slack with our favorite borderline albino, Julian Assange (WikiLeaks), dancing away into oblivion. The world just can’t seem to catch a break. Financial troubles, natural disasters, and famine haven’t discriminated amongst the global population. This costume is perfect for anyone who’s discontent with the status quo, but has reservations about committing to a cause they know little about. No introduction needed. The best part of dressing as Anonymous is the ability to bring relevance to costumes/clothes from your earlier years. Hopped on the V for Vendetta bandwagon? Aspired to be Green Man from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Looking for an occasion to wear an ill-fitting suit that was bought from you before puberty struck? Anonymous with a 4chan flair Don't be the voice of a silent generation but rather a loud voice in a faceless generation. S...

Real Life Zombie Idea of the Year: Luis Suárez

This year may have presented many new and exciting dangers that we can potentially die from. Drone strikes are forever ruining the idea of blue skies all the while, Ebola sleeps in our wake. Despite the introduction of these new terrible world dangers, 2014 is still one of my favorite years largely because it hosted the World Cup and boy do I love the World Cup. Large sports events are going to boast many heroes and titans but, by far, my favorite figure is the one painted as a villain. Meet Luis Suárez from Uruguay who is most famous for chomping on his opponents in all sorts of zombie fashion. Having suffered his third warning for biting his opponents, Suárez was forced into suspension to think about his flesh eating ways but his antics will always live on in glory as our favorite real life zombie costume. Who this costume is for: Football fans around the world  Those who think the impending zombie apocalypse may have already started in B...
