Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

What do teeth, bones, feet and skulls have in common? The crazy ass, serial killer art shown above by Canadian artist Maskull Lasserre . Is it the cold weather and snow in Canada that brings out the Jack Torrance in some people? We may never know. Anywho, the frame with teeth corners strikes …

  I love love love these kitty and bear undies from Knickerocker!  All their designs are hand-made and available in their Etsy store. I’m loving the bodysuits, although they could totally pass for a swimsuit, right?! Who said big girl panties can’t be cute? Over the years, I’ve preferred big girl …

American artist Jennifer Crupi designed these ‘sculptural’ pieces of jewelry. If you told me that these were equipment familiar in a gyn’s office, I would believe you. These don’t look like jewelry, but rather restraint devices used in the medical field. Especially that elbow stirrup thingy. I’m not going to go there. …

British artist Phillip Blackman takes innocent fuzzy bears and transforms them into zombie-fied, bloody balls of fur called Undead Ted.  I think Ted just crapped his little teddy bear pants. Apparently, he uses real bones from I-don’t-know-where and teeth from I-don’t-want-know-whose. Anywho, you can order these ‘Deady Bears’, as James St. James …

Check out the latest and greatest from The Rodnik Band ! This season, they decided to go all British and stuff and designed a collection with fish and chips, soft boiled eggs (my fave), a pint, the beefeater and of course, the telephone booth. Awesome, awesome and awesome. I’ve written about Rodnik’s …

    Japanese artist Fumie Sasabuchi  uses the themes of death and decay in his/her artworks( Seriously, with a name like Fumie, it could go either way). Anywho, here is Fumie’s latest works involving some very HONGRAY models. Is it me or does the model in the 6th photo resemble that skinny …

  British designer Joanna Pybus  and BENGT have teamed together to create a collection called ‘Splice Me’. It’s basically clothes with monster qualities, like fuzzy fur and big google-y eyes. At least, that’s what monsters look like to me. Anywho, speaking of splicing, anybody see that effed up movie with Adrien Brody …

Cats In Clothes by Heather Mattoon is a series of prints featuring cats in human clothes. This is pretty brilliant because clothes can really convey your mood and preferences and we all know that cats can be a bunch of finicky felines. So naturally, if they could wear clothes, they would wear clothes based …

  Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen showed her fourth haute couture collection called ‘Voltage’ at Paris’ fashion week. I’m not sure why Style.com doesn’t add Iris to to the their roster… I mean, yes, it’s avant guard, but isn’t that what haute couture is all about? Anywho, the dresses were all 3-D …

  Here are my favorite looks from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Haute Couture show. The fifth photo is awesome! It’s like an ‘elegant’ redo of the Madonna cone bra corset.   Only Gaultier can make boobs look like chic  traffic cones. The finale of his shows is usually a wedding …
