Frankstein Fashion

Horrific and Horror-Inspired Clothing

— December 28, 2008 — Unique
Frankenstein, you've gotta love the guy, right? Most people associate this dude with horror and Halloween only, but his influence expands well beyond a mere holiday to cultural icon status.

I love the Frankenstein-inspired Nike trainers; their red wound-like stitching is such an awesome detail that if I could marry them I would. Nike also have Dunk Highs which are similarly inspired by The Green One.

The wound stitching is a feature which also appears on a baseball hat, and the same site also offers a rather groovy tee shirt.

Of course there is also some real crap out there, and I could not resist including a few gems which are so bad as to almost be somewhat fashionable.

The best Frankenstein fashion out there has to be the rockabilly dress. Yes, I have one, and yes, I love it.
