Simon Doonan is best known in the fashion industry as creative director for Barney’s New York and the eccentric mind behind its always-clever window displays. Mass merchant Target recently enlisted his skills to liven up the chain’s Halloween offerings, and the result is a 14-piece Costume Couture by Simon Doonan collection. With such pieces as Diva Witch and DJ From the Crypt, the designs are young and affordable, all $30 or less. Doonan also stars in a few videos advising costume seekers in his “Halloween Couture Salon.” For the videos, go to halloween; costumes at .
We’d suggest a twist: Dress as Simon Doonan! All you need are a floral-patterned shirt, skinny black tie, velvet blazer and big sunglasses. Whip your hair up on top and you’re set!
