Hyeres 2011 Design Contest’s Première Vision prize winner,  Swiss designer Emilie Melden, really took the cake with her nest ensembles and mountain-frolicking gear. Those ‘nest’ ensembles are made of twigs, which is really a hard feat to shape into clothing. I’m liking the lady with 5 purses on her chest. I …

      Here are some photos from Comic-Con 2011 in San Diego. I have to say I really look forward to it every year, however, when I get there, after a day I’m totally over it. Between the gaggle of geeks pushing their way through the crowd and insane …

Dutch designer Jantaminiau came out of friggin’ nowhere with a couture line and I have to say – it’s friggin’ awesome! The collection was super small, but it’s quality, not quantity that makes this collection so cool. There is a lot of detail in each outfit, and that’s just looking from …

Australian design house Romance was Born is no stranger to avant-guarde styles as seen in their latest collection above. Explore their site, especially their collection named ‘Garden of Eden’ Spring 2007 for more unique pieces. My fave has to be the pearl outfit. It’s like that Prince song, ‘Diamond and …

  Imagine the person, Martin Margiela– he doesn’t even design for the line anymore, but they still use his name! That kinda sucks, especially when the designs are like whhhaaaaaaaaat?  I’d be pissed if I were him. I think it’s pretty genius when any designer covers the faces of the …

The Central Saint Martins BA Graduate Fashion Show always has a few gems emerging that Teacups & Couture can count on for entertainment! And Israeli designer, Ziv Gil Kazenstein,  is one of those twinkly gems! Check out his  silk prints accented with ruffles and ruffles of Bobby Trendy’s scraps after decorating my …

I know 1/4 of 2011 is over already but, if you’re looking for a wicked dark calendar that shows you why wearing black is anything but boring, check out Splash Fashions 2011 Calendar. It’s like a spooky, fantastical gothic photo shoot even for the brightest summer months! I personally can’t stand …

Last weekend , I had the pleasure of attending the GBK Productions Gift suite for the 2011 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles. I brought my son, Felix, since it was loaded with kid’s stuff! The suite was at the SLS Hotel in LA and stars like Paula Abdoul, …

In the past, I have written about Louise Gray . I admire her ability to basically not give a sh*t and do what she wants do. However, (with the exception of the awesome half black/half polka-dotted rain boots) this collection was pretty damn awful. I’m not sure if it was …

Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen unveiled a Spring 2011 couture collection that puts some of the most famous designers to shame. This is the same designer I blogged about a while back with those cool shoes. The first outfit reminds me of a ram, like a steel ram…. so cool. You …
