  British Designer Dilara Findikoglu unveiled her latest collection in London, which was a mash-up between Betsey Johnson, Vivienne Westwood and Hot Topic. It was a little fun, a little punk raawk, and a lot deep, dark depressed goth thats stuck in a mall until curfew time. I, too, have …

Designer Takahiromiyashita (formerly of Undercover ) decided to make an entire collection, basically for Kylo Ren or ISIS. The hoods are so damn serious! It’s like galactic desert gear. Anywho, this exists and that dude is gonna have to shorten his name if I’m ever going to write a post …

This was Vivienne Westwood’s latest collection and boy, that shoot looked like fun….it was like a British version of Orange is The New Black, minus the orange jumpsuits and other prison paraphernalia…. ok, it looks nothing like Orange is the New Black, except for the bare metal bunk beds.

These are looks from the Swedish School of Textile…this totally looks like the everyday things that hang in Nuni’s closet. Totally normal. Next time my umbrella gets all jacked up in a hurricane, I’m gonna transform it into ‘COUTURE’. And by ‘COUTURE’, I mean something that will scare small children …

           I had the pleasure of visiting The Metropolitan Museum in NYC last week and catching the Rei Kawakubo/ Comme des Garçon Exhibit before it comes to a close next month. It’s one thing to see these pieces of art in a magazine or on a computer monitor…. …
