This year the fad for Halloween may not be wholly focused on dark color schemes. Neon-colored tutus, tights and gloves – all things bright – are taking over the Party City apparel.
Catee Rue, a manager at a Party City in Carmel, said the biggest deal this year is Morphsuits. The company, based out of the UK, has a facebook page boasting around 1 million likes.
But social media appreciation isn’t all the company is receiving. Their recent deal with Party City helped to push revenue past £10 million in 2011. The company was started in 2009 and since then has “morphed” into the latest trend. The skin-tight material is comfortable, porous enough to breathe and drink through, and comes in many fun colors and designs.
As usual, well-known video game and movie characters will also walk the streets. Already Party City has had requests for costumes of characters from Angry Birds and Hunger Games.
