Robert Wun Spring-Summer 2024

ROBERT WUN DOES HORROR COUTURE — COMPLETE WITH BEJEWELED BLOOD AND BROKEN GLASS — FOR SPRING 2024

It's a collection destined to induce very chic nightmares.

Robert Wun has proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that he can make a statement with his couture, cementing his brand as "one to watch" during the Paris shows. In the past, the London-based designer has sent models down the runway wearing knives and latex masks across their faces — and for Spring 2024, he's fully committing to building a full-blown display of horror-as-fashion.

A model opened the show wearing a black coat and wide-brimmed hat dripping in Wun's now-signature raindrop crystals. The air of drama only grew from there, as a flame pattern engulfed an asymmetrical gown, glass shards covered a full-skirted dress and sharply-edged headpieces began to almost fully cover the faces of models. Even the bride was blood-stained in red embellishment.

The most "American Horror Story"-esque look of all, though, was the strapless red velvet gown, which has a matching red bodysuit-covered figure hanging over the shoulder, as if sewing the model's neckline.

Below, see Robert Wun's Haute Couture Spring 2024 collection in full — and apologies for any night terrors in advance.

Ranked: Scream 1-4

4) Starting with my least favorite: Scream 3 (2000)

Look, this one is forgettable. Let’s just move on.

3) Scream 2 (1997)

The second installment’s self-awareness as a sequel adds a whole new dimension to the meta movie’s already incredible writing and style. Not to mention that Jamie Kennedy’s Randy Meeks delivers one of my favorite scenes in the series, in which he continues his role as curator of horror movie rules, albeit with a twist. 

2) Scream 4 (2011)

With Kevin Williamson back at the helm alongside Wes Craven, Scream 4 finally gives the series the ending it deserves. It starts with arguably the best, though seemingly never-ending opening sequence and concludes with the most meta, commentative and socially relevant conclusion out of the four. What we’ve all respected and loved about the Scream series is its unfaltering deconstruction of the horror genre and Scream 4 doesn’t disappoint, it takes it even further. 

1) Scream (1996), the original.

Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994) might’ve been the beginning of meta horror, but Scream is where Craven revolutionizes the genre. No disrespect to the classics, in fact Scream pays homage to many of them, but their tropes get boring and far too predictable. For the first time, Scream gives us characters that are all of us watching horror movies — like us, they’re bitching about the rules, referencing cinematic influences and dying for some original material. Here’s the thing, the more you know horror, the more you’ll appreciate Scream’s subtleties.

Word of advice: never underestimate Scream or its sequels (ok, yep, except for Scream 3).

Too many people are quick to dismiss the franchise as shallow, derivative and just another bunch of over-stylized, mainstream teen slashers. They're missing the brilliance in the writing and directing. Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven are the only pair I’ve seen who’ve produced sequel after sequel without their trademark meta tactic getting stale (except Scream 3).

Movie rankings and a Scream 4 review coming soon…but I bet you can already guess where Scream 3 will be

Watch this right now.

Excision

God bless this movie and AnnaLynne McCord. Written & directed by Richard Bates Jr., Excision absolutely kills. It is, by far, one of the most brutal and uncompromisingly blunt dissections of the family dynamic I have ever seen, but its black humor keeps you laughing up until its closing sequence.

And let me go ahead and get this out of the way — Excision does what so many female-led horror films fail to do, which is actually tell a story that isn’t about revenge. McCord’s Pauline is the perfect weird, loner girl you’ve never seen on film but always wanted to and trust me, you want to. I don’t want to give anything away…just know that the word “psychosexual” actually undersells just how visually striking and culturally taboo this horror film really is.

5/5

Cheers, x

Pauline’s shameless ability to say exactly what she wants, whenever she wants isn’t the only reason to fall in love with Excision
