Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina
Designer Philip Plein’s latest show was aptly named “Alice in Ghettoland” and had Paris Hilton and Fergie walk the runway show. To me, this was sort of like a low rent Moschino/Jeremy Scott show, especially with the gold chains and denim combination, as well as that swimsuit in the 6th photo. I want to love it, but it was too mall-ish…. like Contempo Casuals. Fun Fact: When I was teenager, I was working at a local diner as a waitress saving my pennies from tips given to me by the elderly that were dropping their social security checks on milkshakes and clam rolls. I would save for weeks and months to shop all the mall rat clothes at Contempo Casuals. It was glorious. One of my first big purchases was a red velvet newsboy hat that I first saw on a Fly girl on ‘In Living Color’. I wore that thing to death. I think I even wore it to a funeral. Anywho, this collection reminds me of that.
