If Lady Gaga has taught us anything, it’s that monsters are nothing to be afraid of. In fact they’re pretty cute and cuddly. Now they’re gathering for one monster of an exhibition coming up in Paris. First shown at Benaki Museum in Athens, “ARRRGH! Monsters in Fashion” is the first exhibit based on monster forms in fashion and costume design. A wide range of designers and labels are participating in the creature feature, from the luxury-minded Alexander McQueen and Rick Owens to the more pop-inspired Craig Green and Walter Van Beirendonck.

ARRRGH! Monsters in Fashion, February 13 – April 7, 2013, La Gaîté Lyrique, 3 bis rue Papin, Paris
