Creepy Clown Couture

The Dark Circus-Inspired Designs of Karen Segall

Karen Segall is a Danish Design School graduate with a dream—or rather, a nightmare. Her vision for fashion includes circus-inspired creations that are dark and more than a tad on the creepy side.

With harlequin-style jumpsuits, creepy skull masks, and tulle neck pieces, Karen Segall’s fashion line was inspired by a book called, “A night at the circus.” She describes her line as, “Edgy, colourful, detailed,”—although I think those terms don’t exactly do her collection justice.
