It's hard to not be inspired a bit by the recent "Where the Wild Things Are" craze. The fox costume that I made myself for my Halloween costume certainly drew it's look from the terrible monsters in Spike Jonze's new film, but the idea of dressing like animals goes way back. Since human beginnings we have been fascinated by our link and relationship with animals and have continuously made masks and costumes in order to take on their traits and attributes. Here are some of my favorite animal costumes that I have come across.
From a stage production of the fairy tale, "Hansel and Gretel."
Two wonderful costume renderings of characters from the beloved Beatrix Potter series.
The Costume Shop in London has a variety of amazing Comedia Del Arte animal masks.
1handmadebyheather on etsy has a selection of handmade furry animal masks perfect for children and adults this Halloween season.
