Ash Costello: Freddy Krueger Sweater Dress

New Years Day at a concert in 2010 - photo: MichellexStar

Ash Costello’s ripped sweater dress is actually a “Miss Krueger” Halloween Costume ($35.20), inspired by the red and green striped sweater that Freddy Krueger wore in the film A Nightmare on Elm Street. This is older photo, but not being a horror movie fan myself I didn’t recognize the significance of her sweater at the time.

Steampunk Outfit

Ash Costello's photoshoot for Lip Service

The latest episode of Ash Costello “Rockonista” web series takes us shopping with her at Lip Service’s Los Angeles warehouse. Lip Service has lines catered to many different alternative subcultures including lolita, cyber, and industrial clothing; but most of Ash’s picks come from the “Black Steam” collection of Victorian steampunk-inspired clothes.

Ash explains this outfit:

It’s very steampunk-inspired. Steampunk has been around for a while kind of in the underground, and I feel like right now it’s just starting to make it into the mainstream. Lip Service has really found a creative way to take steampunk in everyday wear — something you could wear to school, or to clubs, concerts, DisneyLand like I would. And I love it. I love that [the skirt] has the key detail, it’s very steampunk, and the brown distressed leather. This is something that I would wear all the time. And to top it all off I have my Sideshow by the Sea necklace. I love bats and anything gothy and dark like that is just awesome to me. So it pulls the whole thing together.

What she’s wearing:
All of Ash’s clothes are from Lip Service. She wears the BlackList Black Lace Top ($41.50) with the Step in Time Underbust Top ($98.00) over it. Her skirt is the Step in Time Lace Layered Skirt ($65.00) and the tights are the Ripped Net Pantyhose ($9.00). Her bat necklace is the La Mia Bella Morte Necklace from Sideshow by the Sea ($35.00).

Ash Costello got her New Years Eve party on with the Hello Party Kitty Parody Shirt from Andrew W.K. ($19.99). The shirt depicts Hello Kitty with a nose bleed mimicking the cover of Andrew W.K.’s 2001 album I Get Wet and has the name of his hit single “Party Hard.” Andrew W.K. wore the t-shirt himself while performing on the 2010 Warped Tour.

Ash Costello

screencap from New Years Day's summer update video

It’s no secret that Ash Costello loves vampires – and zombies, and fake blood – but this simple graphic of a smiley face with crossed out eyes and vampire fangs is surprisingly cutesy compared to her usual gore. It’s from H&M, though she’s had it for a few months so it might not be available in stores anymore. It is not listed on the US site at all, and it’s pictured on the UK site but not available in that design.

PS. The tattoo on her neck is a fake tattoo of New Years Day’s mechanical heart logo, but the sleeve is all real. You can check out the Ash Costello tattoo page to see all of her tattoos.
