Wow! Paco Rabanne really made a nice impression on me – shiny metallic fabric- CHECK, crazy discs around the neck- CHECK, a Crate & Barrel Salad bowl as a helmet- CHECK, and sexy, scaly dresses- CHECK! And can you guess who designed this collection? My man, Manish Arora! Amazing, huh? …

  HAHAHAH! “I Love Crap”! That Vivienne! Letting the red dye seep into her  brain. Vivienne’s spring collection was the usual hobo meets the dumpster of an eighteenth century aristocrat. Did they have dumpsters back then? Anyway, I think individually, each piece is not that bad, but when it’s thrown …

I just don’t know what is going on in that head of Manish (what up with that fish?), but I like it. His spring collection was a mixed bag for me- some were genius, others were hideous. Here are a few that I really liked. Manish really likes to pile on …

If Mary Poppins had a saucy side, this is what she would wear. Although John Galliano’s name is attached to this collection, Galliano didn’t design a single dress. Bill Gaytten, Galliano’s pattern-maker, took over the house in April and decided to go boring.  It must suck when a collection bears …

  Gareth always knows how to dress for an alien invasion and this season’s collection was no different. I think it’s safe to assume Gareth has been watching marathons of Ancient Aliens these past few months. The cage fabrics are brilliantly tailored to the model’s bodies, which makes me think …

  I’m not sure if such existed- a 1940’s hippie, but in Anna Sui’s mind this is what they would’ve dressed like. I’m loving the peter pan collars and demure sleeves. I like that the socks and heels trend is still going strong. But the best part of this collection …

I love how Jeremy Scott doesn’t give an eff. He can wake up one day and be like, ‘I’m gonna design a collection for those beer bellied, inbred, farm people that live in trailers because that’s what the fashion world needs right now. We’re gonna call it the ‘Blanche Poubelle …

Two things come to mind when I hear ‘Oscar de la Renta’ : A) Old ladies who get their hair done into a basket for the week. B) ‘Oscar de la Rent Me’ as my charming brother would say. Anywho, These are my favorite picks from the Spring collection and …

  I have to tell you that every time I see the word Preen, I see the word Peen. I’m not a psychologist, but I’m thinking something’s not right in my brain sometimes. Maybe it is right. Whoever came up with that label name just wanted to mess with me. …
