From creepy-looking models with Illuminati-inspired makeup to suicidal ones with doll-like appearances, the Leoncavallo by Sergei Grinko fashion line captures a creatively wicked aesthetic that definitely changes many's fashion perspectives.

Using unsettling [horror film techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scent-of-a-nightmare) that elicit emotions of terror and fear, Sergei uses his wild imagination to bring a [spooky collection of fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) that explores mind-boggling, puzzling and mysterious concepts. The Leoncavallo by Sergei Grinko runway show also features a video component that employs ghostlike effects on the models. I think Fashion Designers Abroad should think along these lines and explore this remarkable [horror-film fashion show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good-campaign) idea more in the future.

The video takes place in Prince Kochubey's Palace which is located Saint Petersburg, Russia. The collection's gallery and accompanying video stars actress Anna Chaplin, Viktoria Afanaseva, Marina Novozhilova and Alina Danshina, who play the horror scenes perfectly.
