We don't know if we're just a morbid bunch, but the NamaKo team can't get enough of this time of year. We love the darker than dark evenings; pitch blackness pressing down on us as we hurry home in the cold wrapped in hats and gloves and fur. We love the possibilities the night brings; danger, lust, sex, rum… long live the night!
Being complete horror fiends, Halloween had us in our element. This Halloween we took a trip to the V&A for an evening of ghoulish pleasure. It was certainly more interesting than getting wasted whilst dressed as zombie-pub-golfers, as we have done for the last few years. The gothic exhibition was truly bewitching - our favourites were the dark and twisted short films (we love anything dark and twisted) from innovative new directors and the amazing gothic magician.
Before we left we had a truly terrifying make-over courtesy of the MAC make-up artists. (what could be a better combination - MAC and spine-chilling gore?) Complete with movie-standard bullet wounds and facial gashes that looked like we'd pissed off Wolverine, we headed to the tube. Turns out that terrifying innocent Londoners on the tube is really, really fun. Although we felt a bit bad when a child started crying…
Horror is a huge influence in our creative process. We are currently working our way through a huge list of classic and modern horror films from across the globe (the Japanese do horror a little bit too well…) so don't be surprised if some of these terrifying elements make their way into one of our upcoming collections.
