Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

  Artist Scott Hove  unveiled his newest work called “Guns & Ecstasy” in San Francisco’s Spoke Art last month.  You can read more about his past works here and here. He’s the dude that makes artwork out of cake. This time around he made a labyrinth installation with machine guns.  These types of installations are dangerous for me …

  Central Saint Martins graduate Estefania Cortes Harker was inspired by American child pageants for her senior collection. Glittered fabrics were the mainstay of the collection. I, honestly, don’t see any hints of Honey Boo Boo. I don’t see any empty ‘maronnaise’ jars, I don’t see any pork rinds, and where is Glitzy the …

UK Milliner Bundle MacLaren (sounds like a Bond girl!) has burst upon the hat scene in 2009 and is already the favorite of those royal-types. My fave out of the bunch above has to be the ice cream cone hat. It’s like what a kid would do if he was sick of …

French photographer Kate Fichard told some people on the street to hide behind their most prized possessions and pose. She covered their faces to show their posessions are they’re identity, or something like that.  This series is called ‘Totem de Vie’, but if it were me, I’d call it ‘Totem de Crap’. I …

French- based artist, Emile Morel, has a  vivid imagination as depicted through his digital art. Big ass flying fish with huge teeth taking a naked lady and gorilla on a joy swim? You betcha! A really pretty lady with a lower extremities case of hirsutism frolicking in a murky swamp? Oh yes! …

The Ukrainian fashion house DZHUS has designed a very boxy- Grace Jones-ish collection that looks all sorts of industrial-in-a-drab-communist-country sort of way. Origami with paper is pretty challenging, so with fabric, it must be a huge pain in the ass. That’s why I give DZHUS (sounds like a chemical compound, doesn’t it?) …

Japanese brand Undercover showed their Fall 2013 collection in Paris with their models in bunny masks and garments with rib cages and innards printed on them. In other words, it was my kind of show. I do have to say the bunny ear thing is a little played out. I mean, when …

I’m always astounded by all the earthy mommy crap there is out there. Yes, giving birth and having children is a small miracle, but the merchandising surrounding it is kinda annoying. I really do cherish my kids and what not, but the birth is wicked gross and messy and everything …

  Danish artist Maria Rubinke really knows how to strike a balance between cute and grotesque. Isn’t it a fine line? Anywho, I’ve written about her before so you may already know that I love love love her work. Above are the latest and greatest from her and yes, I would put …

Dang! Polish designer Katarzyna Konieczka has designed some freaky deaky one-of-a-kind outfits that Jigsaw from ‘Saw’ would fawn over. That last one is really out there, I suppose, it’s more about the photography because I can’t see anyone wearing any of that out and about. Not sure why but that image of the …
