# Photo-Sharing App Outfits Be a Literal Stereotype with the Instagram Hipster Halloween Costume By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-10-29 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipster-halloween-costume References: [petapixel](http://www.petapixel.com/2012/10/26/a-instagram-camera-halloween-costume-that-actually-takes-pictures/) & [ericmicotto](http://www.ericmicotto.com/blog/) For all those urban, sub-culture devotees, the working [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapocket) camera get-up is the perfect hipster Halloween costume. The outfit was created by Eric Micotto. He used a cardboard printout of the infamous Instagram logo and mounted it like a wearable sign so it would go over his shoulders. A hole in the lens was cut out to place a [Nikon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikons-vintage-popup-diner) D800 with a Eye-fi SD to take pictures of the All Hallow's Eve party-goers throughout the night. Another hole was made in the back of the outfit to mount an [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattebox). It would receive the photos using an automatic connection with the help of a wireless router and the ShutterSnitch app. Throughout the night, this hipster Halloween costume is able to snap photos of ghoulish outfits and beer-sharing spooks and then display it for all to see on a camera back display. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wearable Technology:** The creation of a wearable Instagram camera costume highlights the growing trend of integrating technology into fashion and accessories. - **Social Media Visual Storytelling:** The use of an Instagram-themed Halloween costume demonstrates the trend of incorporating social media platforms into personal expression and storytelling. - **Augmented Reality Costumes:** The integration of an iPad into the Halloween costume signifies the emerging trend of blending physical and digital experiences through augmented reality. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel:** The wearable Instagram camera costume presents an opportunity for fashion brands to explore the fusion of technology and clothing in their designs. - **Social Media Marketing:** Companies can leverage the trend of social media visual storytelling to create engaging campaigns and connect with their audience in a more interactive and imaginative way. - **Augmented Reality Entertainment:** The use of augmented reality in Halloween costumes opens up new possibilities for entertainment companies to create immersive experiences and engage their audience in unique ways during seasonal events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dedicated Content Creator Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapocket.md) - [QSR Meme Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloween-chipotle.md) - [Creative Photo Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstamatic.md) - [Macaroni-Inspired Halloween Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-bold-to-the-bone-costume.md) - [Life-Sized Clog Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-costume.md) - [Two-Person Halloween Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-mozz-costume.md) - [Halloween Creamer Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-delight-2.md) - [Food-Inspired Costume Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraft-natural-cheese.md) - [AR Halloween Costume Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disguise-1.md)
