How-To: Elly Jackson La Roux Halloween Costume

Craft & Design Home

Last year on the MAKE YouTube channel, commenters started saying I looked like the singer from the English synth-pop duo La Roux. Here’s how to get the Mondrian jacket look from the video for their song Bulletproof.

The costume tutorial includes plans for a remake of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s jacket design. You can also make your own “neo cameo” necklace with a laser cutter and these files on Thingiverse.
