‘I Dress As A Chaotic Colourful Monster.’

Monster Makeover At Its Best

A 23-YEAR-OLD man calls himself a ‘chaotic colourful monster’ and gets his outfit inspirations from films such as Monster’s Inc.

Daniel Perera indulges his aesthetic in pinks, bows and glitter – plus fangs, black contact lenses and fake blood. “My style is very chaotic, very monstrous and very colourful,” he explains, adding, “I love colours, I love patterns, I love monsters and I love so much of like the horror aesthetic. Eventually, I knew they were all going to combine into one.”

Daniel says, “I started experimenting my look about three or four years ago. I did pastels and then one day I was really interested in primary colours. Slowly that moved into neon and then I always had an interest for monsters, so I was like can I be one. I want to experiment and be one so I started wearing horns and I started putting on fake teeth. I was doing special effects and eventually it worked. It’s exactly what I wanted.”
