Here are some photos from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology’s Graduates Show. Seriously, I’m impressed that between dining on cats and dogs and child slave labor, they have the time to come up with such amazing outfits.  The multi-layered  collar is pretty Viktor & Rolf-ish. (Not this Rolf, but …

It’s so FLUFFY!!!!! McQueen’s latest collection was fantastic, except that it looked more like something Viktor & Rolf would do, not gothic designer Alexander McQueen. I didn’t expect all these pinks and whites from a designer who made their name with skulls and bones. But, whatever, I LOVE it. I’m …

All I can see are a rainbow of colors that was missing from the Fall shows all around the world , so that automatically is a plus in my book. Manish gave the 1950s silhouette a punky, colorful twist that I LOVE. And the doody knots on the models heads …

Central Saint Martins graduate Cornel Bolt really knows how to hide a woman’s curves. She really knows how to dress the lady who lunches at Hometown Buffet.  I’m kinda digging the double skirt that starts mid-thigh and ends right at your feet. Reminds me of those rappers who can’t seem to pull …

Leave it to Gareth Pugh to create the most ominous, futuristic collections.

Mary is usually the queen of trompe l’oeil, but this season, she decided to go  more science fiction than the lanai in a Boca retirement home. It had elements of Alexander McQueen’s collection that made the armadillo shoe so popular. You know the one where the models had cable car tracks …

If you took everything in my closet, plus the contents of a drag queen’s closet and add a dash of Punky Brewster– you would get Meadham Kirchoff’s Fall 2012 collection. All the sparkle, spangle, fur and explosion of prints is enough to disorient anyone with a pair of eyes. Instead …

London-based designer Inbar Spector is pretty much the master of making honeycomb gowns. I’ve written about Inbar before and have her on my radar. What I love most about her designs is how ethereal and otherworldly they are. It sort of does remind me of Alexander McQueen if he had a super feminine …

I was a little confused as to whether or not Red Valentino is in anyway associated with the Valentino, whose signature color is, indeed, red. All I could find was this site that I’m guessing is the site for Red Valentino, which has nothing to do with Valentino the huge …
