Masks

This hauntingly elegant black satin mask by NYC accessories designer Jade Chiu is just enough to make a statement on Halloween without a full-fledged costume.

Comme des Garcons

The Comme des Garcons collection was an eerie take on the Spring season. The show was a casting for the murderous family in “The Strangers” sequel.

The masks, crafted from leather, jewels, burlap, lace, felt, fur and feathers, were meant to compliment the extraordinary pieces without overpowering them — if that’s even at all possible.

If you’re one of the lucky few who were invited to Love Brigade’s annual New Year’s Eve masquerade you’re in luck. Not only cause you get to welcome the New Year with Brooklyn’s finest, but because Gilt Groupe is having a sale on Art of Elysium Designer Masks.

Yes, there is no way you’d get it by tomorrow, but with a little craft store visit and knockoff intuition, I’m sure you can craft your own.

Be sure to join Gilt Group and check out these amazing masks from designers like Rodarte, Erin Fetherston, Brian Reyes, and Peter Som. Click here to join.

Check out The Ten “Unacceptable” Fashion Choices from a man who finds them just irresistible.

10. Sequined Jumpsuit - A few of these hit the runway of YSL last season and since they have been getting a lot of negative attention from tabloid mags looking for fashion failures. I think they are worth their weight in shining, shimmering appliques.

9. Fencing Attire – Looking like you’re ready for battle shouldn’t require camouflage gear and cargo pockets. Take your militant look up a notch and be prepped for a little poke.

8. 4 to 6 inch Heels on the Subway - Only the brave deserve to be featured on the digital pages of NYC style blogs and what better way to reach them than their preferred means of transportation, the MTA Subway System. Just hold on tight and make sure to report all suspicious packages, especially those from gawking passengers.

7. Gold Spandex – She might look ridiculous, but this bitch is going home with your boyfriend tonight, fucking his brains beyond recognition, and possibly laying eggs in his urethra. Watch your back cause anyone capable of attempting this look is also capable of shanking your ass with a sharpened microphone stand. Just warning you, from my own experiences of course.

6. Wolford Pantyhose as Pants – Leggings are for losers. Upgrade and slip into the sexy sheer bind of pantyhose.

5. Full Makeup to Brunch – There’s a reason it starts so late in the day, so you can have a couple of hours to properly apply your gloss and glamour. Do it and your guaranteed to look a thousand times better than the heffers who hit up Buttermilk Channel in wrinked tees and the New York Times.

4. Teenage Lesbian inspired 90′s Fashion - Jessie Spano quickly comes to mind.

3. Men in Knee Length Skirts – Marc Jacobs quickly comes to mind.

2. Looney Tunes – Lola Bunny. Capable of making anyone’s carrot stick thumper.

1. A Mask of Your Own Face – Definitely hitting a 10 on my creep-o-meter but I can totally see this picking up steam amongst the self absorbed. So basically all of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn .

Tom Banwell’s cut out masks may be a little out of the box for every day life, but seem totally appropriate for editorials. These intricately cut masks made of leather sell on his Etsy store for under $50! That’s a steal, considering they allow you to live out all your other worldly childhood dreams – there is even a unicorn mask! For all of you who are not as adventurous, his head bands are a little more earth friendly.
