The Tim Burton Exhibition at the Moma in New York is energetic, curious and memorable. Having enjoyed two visits and spent several hours wandering around, I keep thinking how transferable these themes are to fashion. The monochrome palette, the shocking blood red and the murky, misty grey tones COULD add a little eccentric drama to the catwalk.

This exhibition is shocking and dark and lusciously Moorish. You leave both inspired and curious to embrace more of Tim Burton and his unique mind. Burton famously said, “One person's craziness is another person's reality”. I think this idea would be transferred to his fashion line; he would not seek to appeal to the masses. However, by embracing non-conventional ideas, he would surely gather a substantial following. This is at the root of his exhibition, nothing about it is ‘normal’ but people are flocking to see it because this dark and often sadistic work has been branded as genius.

Both Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue UK have explored the idea of Tim Burton as a muse. The Vogue shoot, in December 2008 toyed with the idea. It was an article aimed at exploring our imagination, with Burton and partner Helena Bonham Carter as models. The fantasy styling and monochrome fabrics are even apparent in these early shots.

Harper’s Bazaar went for an altogether different stance, using Halloween as the signature theme for Burton. They styled Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci and Alexander McQueen pieces to create sexy, disheveled beauty. This is along the lines of how I would envision a Burton Fashion Collection. A teaspoon of gothic, a dash of seduction and a splash of vibrant color. This is imperfect beauty, made attractive because it in different rather than in spite of it.
