What might Elissabat wear in 2022?

Having been alive for hundreds of years at this point, would you wear the same outfits you wore 200+ years ago?

Part of Elissabat's characterization in "Frights! Camera! Action!" indicates travel and an inclination towards study.

In her large navy Bonnie Cashin for Coach Kiss Lock Tote are her glasses, Laura Mulvey's classic "Visual Pleasure & Narrative Cinema," Shiseido sunscreen, and a Rituel De Fille lipstick. The inclusion of text alludes to possibly making a move to being behind the camera after spending so long in front of the camera.

Elissabat's violet and black color scheme is respected, expanded upon with tonal violet shifts, blue-green and navy complements. Homage to her original 19th century inspired costume is expressed with abstracted ornate pieces from Valentino, Kika Vargas, and Anna Sui. Sun protection for delicate vampire skin is addressed with a Maison Margiela Oversized Shirt Dress and Apatico sun hat.

Additional pieces by Paul Smith, Alexander Wang, Adidas, and Pikitri.

What might Cleo DeNile wear in 2022?

welp - Cleo is likely still out there Cleo-ing it up. An iNfLuEnCeR, rich, and always buying something - she has two mood boards.

Her aesthetic has been updated to reflect the hyper-consumption habits and questionable tastes associated with influencer culture in the 2020s (Note the Amina Muaddi shoes, Reem Acra top, and the $70k Hermès bag).

However, Cleo's old money - ANCIENT money to be exacting, and this influence is felt in the following:

a) the chaotic inclusion of niche pieces from Alice & The Pirates, Vex Clothing

b) older staple pieces from Lanvin and Helmut Lang

c) inexpensive (well, inexpensive to a DeNile) pieces by Alexandre Vauthier and Mianik

d) archival and museum pieces from Paulette Guinet, Tiffany & Co., and Ancient Kemet's New Kingdom

what might frankie stein wear in 2022?

the majority of frankie's characterization hinges on the fact she's the "new ghoul" in school, so an academia vibe stands to reason?

here frankie's main color palette is respected, with added pops of electric color. Her electrical safety is accounted for with a rubberized Helmut Lang rain parka and tall Louis Vuitton brogue heels to keep her out of any water.

what might clawdeen wolf wear in 2022?

since it's agreed upon clawdeen is gay af, i wanted to explore the possibility of a fashion obsessed soft futch vibe.

in lieu of dangly lesbian earrings, because her ears are on the top of her head, she gets to wear the creepy gucci ear brooches.

familiar iconography remains (moon, teeth) with a tonal approach to her canon color palette.

what might draculaura wear in 2022?

i'm excited for the new dolls, and while she's freaking gorgeous i kinda felt just assigning her as a lolita was a touch lazy.

draculaura IS a documented fashion-loving maximalist, and i wanted to explore her chaotic vibe. she mixes high, low, old, and new, and is less label obsessed than cleo or clawdeen.

femme, layers, sun-protection. familiar iconography remains with an updated color palette featuring a pop of a complementary blue-green.
