The high fashion catwalks of New York, London, Milan and Paris might be the last place you'd think to look for Halloween costume inspo, but let it be known they're a hotbed for the best in gothica, avante-garde and downright freakiness - all much welcome come October 31st.

The spring summer 2018 shows, that have just completed in Paris, have shown us some of the best; take McQueen's gothic fantastic look, Ashish's sequinned 'Witches' tops, Dior's bumble bee stripes or Rick Owens' walking dead.

Here's some high fashion inspiration for everyone's favourite time of year..

The look: Lady of Darkness

The show: Alexander McQueen

The lace show at McQueen was a gothic dream. Take the swathes of lace, heavy duty jewels and wet-look hair to your next Halloween party.

The look: Glitter Witch

The show: Ashish

Ashish has it right with its 'Witch' and 'Good Mourning' sequinned tops. You can find some similar Halloween fashion accessories here.

The look: Bumble Bee

The show: Dior

We j'adored Dior show this season. The sparkly mirror dresses won us over, but it was this yellow and black striped bumble bee look that we're copying for Halloween. Just add some antennae.

Never one to shy away from the shocking, Rick Owens' spring summer show made for prime Halloween outfit fodder. This walking dead mummy look ruled. On a budget? Recreate with roughly 24 rolls of toilet roll.

The look: She-Devil

The show: Maison Margiela

You definitely won't show up wearing the same outfit as someone in this airport essentials look which is complete with an eye mask, pillow and 'carry-on baggage' labels.

The look: Gothica Glam

The show: Givenchy

This look would be less suited to a uni halls Halloween party and more an elegant dinner on October 31st.

The look: Queen of Broken Hearts

The show: Dolce & Gabbana

Channel D&G by creating your own playing card outfits, but suit it to Halloween by adding lots of blood. Et voila: you're The Queen of Broken Hearts.

The look: Wilting Bouquet

The show: Moschino

The flower bouquet dress, modelled by Gigi Hadid, at Moschino was brilliant. Just use wilting flowers facing south for a more Halloween-appropriate look.

There's something very spooky about this spider web-effect look. You can make your own with juxtaposing stripes.
