Initial reaction:
Disney gone over to the dark side: a kitsch horror, a wacky nightmare.
References:
Abley played with the familiar Disney font but translated it into words like Brain and RIP. Last week Bobby Abley shared a 1929 Mickey Mouse cartoon titled ‘Haunted House’ with Dazed as his YouTube clip of AW14. Watch below.
How they wore it:
Silver mouth contraptions that looked like something out of The Cell held models mouths in a scream, while silver bullets by Alan Crocetti suggested werewolf references. Childish ghouls came in the form of ghostly grey and white chiffon shorts with frayed edges.
Soundtrack:
The show opened with "Come along and sing our song and join our family" from the Mickey Mouse Club, before crashing into M.I.A.'s Meds and Feds.
Collaboration:
Hats by Piers Atkinson in the vein of Maleficent – Disney’s iconic villain from Sleeping Beauty – that left menacing shadows and silhouettes on the mind even after we walked away.
