Designer Manish Arora is pretty good at using color in his collection and I admire him for that. I’m especially loving the hair, in particular the girl with the pink do. So cool! I have a pact with myself that when my hair goes greyish-white, I’m going dye it cotton …

Issey Myake is famous for those pleated fabrics that dominate his collections. I always think they just forgot to iron the garment, but it’s actually on purpose. This season, the pleats were toned down and folded in an origami sort of way. Pretty innovative! The first three photos are quite …

While Thierry Mugler the designer was pumping up with Hanz and Franz,  Mugler the fashion house was recently ‘revived’ by Nicola Formichetti, aka Lady Gaga’s stylist. I have fond memories of Thierry Mugler and his lavish shows during the ’90s. His collections were designed for that elegant, avant-guard lady who wears …

Usually I bypass Ann Demuellelewhatever’s collection because it’s usually something made for a depressed, emo butch.

Mary Katrantzou is known for her excellent use of graphics on dresses. Check out her past collection here.  This season she had Chinois prints and flowers on her mind which I think is really beautiful, especially the tight pants that could suffocate a fart. I think more than anything, I …

Vivienne Westwood‘s Red Label collection wasn’t all that bad since usually it’s just an interpretation of Hobos in the Night. I really liked the old-timey dandy suits with a punk update. I also enjoyed the plaids and pipe cleaner crowns. The multi-colored boots in the first photo reminds me of …

If Jesse James , Lady Gaga, and the window valence from my German aunt’s house stumbled upon each other in a dark, Eastern European alley, this is exactly what would have been barfed out. Hair extraordinaire Charlie Le Mindu used pearls, lace, gas masks, military hats and a humungous fake bird …
