Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

Philadelphian illustrator Christina Hess is my newest favorite artist because she understands the cats place…. as BOSS. It’s already a wonder why cats don’t run the world, as it is. I mean, Mr. Miggins, Miss Coco, Miss Mimi and Mrs. Minky sure do run our household. They meow and stalk until they …

Whoa! Holy Holly Hobbit Hellraiser!! This is Angela Ellsworth’s “Seer Bonnets: A Continuing Offense” on display at the Phoenix Art Museum. Basically, Angela felt compelled to poke a million bazillion pearl-tipped needles through these early American bonnets and see what would happen. Well, this happened and I have to say, they look …

Check out these cool accessories by French designer Yazbukey ! So kitchy , so colorful, so clever! These are all items inspired from the supermarket. The clip on corsets are the best in my opinion. You just strap it on you , no lacing required! So, you can say yes to that …

Because I’m too lazy to research the names of each designer above, I have lumped them all under Russian Fashion Week. These are all gems in their own category of messed up fashions, so I salute them all. My fave has to be the lady with the bird cages… apparently …

Japanese designer Jenny Fax dug deep into the 80’s for inspiration for her latest collection. Cabbage Patch Dolls were the main attraction at the show. This would’ve been epic if the Garbage Pail Kids were replaced with those prissy Cabbage Patch dolls. I used to have 2 Cabbage Patch Dolls and I …
