Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

I had no idea that Philip Treacy, after 13 years of not doing a runway show, suddenly had the urge to do an ENTIRE collection based on the King of Pop. Treacy touched upon every era of Michael Jackson’s strange times, from the early Bubbles the Chimp days to his …

Fashion house KTZ  showed their spring collection in London with oodles and oodles of lace/ embroidery. I personally like the black and nude colored lace the best. The white lace is pretty much what my kitchen window drapes look like. The nude is the best of all. There’s something tribal about this …

I’m mostly posting about Sibling because of the fancy headdresses and the red toile dress in the first photo. The rest is bleh to me. I particularly like the pom-pom pink hat in the last photo mainly because it reminds me of this awesome musician of our time. That’s right! …

I know these are from a while back in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, but they are so worth posting. It’s a collaboration with Tim Burton- each photo is a haute couture reincarnation of a character from one of his fantastic movies. His latest, Frankenweenie, opened a few weeks ago and …

Okay, I only posted this because of all the pink outfits. And that first one is so foofy! Couldn’t resist! That last outfit is made of butcher paper which I find pretty awesome. Something to do with all those Italian cold cut wrappings after all….  Besides that, the rest of …

Speaking of dolls,  shoe/handbag designer Sophia Webster had an outstanding presentation of her Spring 2013 collection. Human-sized doll boxes were the backdrop for her flirty, colorful shoe and handbag collection. Seriously, it doesn’t get more awesome than this! This spring she was influenced by Aztec prints, which I really don’t like. It …

  I always look forward to The Blonds show mainly because it’s the most extravagant show at New York’s fashion week. While most of the NY designers are putting everyone in a coma with their khaki and black ensembles, The Blonds are bitch slapping you Zsa Zsa-style with their gigantic …

Designer Rira Sugawara showed us what a beautiful silhouette can quickly get odd with strange fabric choices. I don’t mind that it was shiny, it was the prints that made it look really chaotic. Besides that those peplum suits in the last row of photos would’ve been super rad! I …

Fam Irvoll never ceases to amaze me with her collections. She’s got the whole quirky, girly, kawaii look down pat. This spring collection she decided to give the memaws of the world a shout out by putting their sour faces on t-shirts and dresses. I wonder if Werther’s was the candy …

I absolutely loved Kate Spade‘s collection for Spring! There was pink! There were bows! There was plaid! Pretty much everything I adore. Anywho, Kate Spade always falls off my radar because it’s sort of a mall store. Very mainstream, but in a NYC/Hamptons kinda way. This is really what I like …
