Back in the 90’s, when Britpop was enjoying it’s heyday, Camden was the hip kid’s heart of the capital. Nowadays, artists, designers and musicians have all migrated to the edgier East where Brick Lane has become a rat-run of kids in black rimmed glasses and wearing their Granny’s fur coats, all packing out the vast array of over-crowded and costly vintage outlets to bag themselves a nice Arran sweater for winter.

“Halloween here in New York,” said a friend of mine, “is some magical shit.” And truth be told, it’s true. The overlap in its popularity sees this celebration being appreciated no matter how old you are. If you’re a kid, there’s a good chance that Halloween is your favourite holiday (and the only time when taking candy from strangers is okay). And if you’re an adult, you’re given the opportunity to be transported back to your happy place by playing a culturally acceptable game of dress up.
Manhattan was bumper to bumper with Lady Gagas, Alex’s from Clockwork Orange, as well as the more generic brand of witches and ghouls. And if you couldn’t take their costumes seriously, to show you how serious New Yorkers are about this celebration, Sixth Avenue shut down for about seven blocks to accommodate the Village Halloween Parade, an event that was also shown in TV.
While adult revelers got their party on well into the night, the kids had their own earlier (and cleaner) version of the same. The pictures in this week’s picture gallery come courtesy of photographer Anna Delany, who took these snaps of kids in Harlem that we share with you because there’s something less creepy and more cute about a six-year-old dressed as Michael Jackson, versus someone five times that age.

The last of the UK’s summer music festivals has just wrapped up on the Isle of Wight. With 20,000 extra people than last year, the festival was in danger of losing its laidback family vibe. But despite the foot-traffic gnarls, the famous Bestival fancy dress spirit boomed with a craft tent and Oxfam store to soup up your space-themed outfit. Check out a random hodgepodge of shots including a double thumbs up from Dubstep wonderboy Reso, some of the craftiest kids in the UK, Crazy P, as many blonde dreads as you could possibly imagine and some sterling shoes.

Ah yes, Bastille Day 14 July, 1789, a marvellously mutinous day when Paris’ starved and flea-ridden finally declared ‘enuff is enuff!’ and stormed the Bastille Tower in an all-mighty revolt against that gold monger Louise XVI and his cake fiend missus, Marie Antoinette. And so, in that same spirit of rebellion, sans plague and pungent odour, the people of Paris Melbourne came together once again to celebrate ‘Viva Le Party’ at one of the cities most infamous annual costume parties, the Clandestine Bastille Day Ball.
