Mary is usually the queen of trompe l’oeil, but this season, she decided to go more science fiction than the lanai in a Boca retirement home. It had elements of Alexander McQueen’s collection that made the armadillo shoe so popular. You know the one where the models had cable car tracks …

Dang! Those hats are pretty serious. They’re totally the hat preferred by most pimps. I really just posted these because of the hats, because the clothes look like really like something an old lady with circulation problems wears on a 70 degree day. I’m guilty of bundling up though, during …

It was the usual gaudy Dolce & Gabbana show, except this time they laid on the gaudiness real thick. There were lots of gilded, gold embroidery upon black for a most dramatic impact. Seriously, it was like Liberace going to a Transylvanian funeral. In other words, I liked it. Anywho, …

It’s that time of year agian where Central Saint Martins churns out the WTF designers of the future. Let’s see what the kids have for us today… Really the one set that stands out the most to me are the Chanel-style tweed suits with the bricks popping out like some …

Amy Wino really left an impression on Jean-Paul Gaultier because dude’s entire couture collection was dedicated and inspired by her, which I found strange. The beehives, the cat eyeliner, the crackie shakes-the 50s/60s silhouettes were all part of the tribute to Amy Winehouse. The only thing missing were the ballet flats. …

Here is a taste of what’s to come for Fall from Alexander McQueen… So, beautiful with the structured silhouette for day and sheer structure for the evening. Really pretty how a free flowing sheer gown can look so sharp at the same time. Anywho, that Sarah Burton has done it …

Who knew that Karl the Kaiser was cat lady in disguise!? Above is his newest pussy cat named Choupette. I never pictured Karl as the cuddling type. I mean, he’s never really looking comfy and cuddly and um, loving. But I guess he has a soft spot for this kitty, …

And just like that, Christian Dior went back to being the matronly label you’d find at the Mature Women’s section of Syms. Seriously, if they can coax back John Galliano to design again for Dior,with a bottle of wine and a collection of sharpies to draw on his mustache, then …
Read More »Moschino Cheap & Chic- Pre-Fall 2012- Prim and Punk
YES!!! I love this collection from Moschino! It’s whimsical, punky, and girly at the same time. My fave has to be the trompe l’oeil sketched on details in the 2nd and 3rd photos. It’s so cartoony! I did that to a few shirts a few years and they remain to …
Read More »Givenchy – Pre-Fall 2012- Nice!
I love how the models are in the street with these fantastic outfits. What’s so great about this collection are the riding hats and the knee/boot covers… I don’t know really what they’re called but it saves you from shaving half your legs- WIN! Anywho, Givenchy is really on my …
