If your idea of a resort is a 1970’s mental hospital dipped in pastel macaroon shades then Rochas is for you! Seriously, I sort of love the colors, especially that beautiful green in the second photo. It’s like this one polyester suit I picked up around Easter from Sal’s Boutique …
Read More »Holy ruffles and pleats!
Japanese designer Yusuke Maegawa is a recent graduate of Central Saint Martins and has 2 collections under his belt already. His use of layers and ruffles and pleats make the perfect outfit for concealing things. I would hide my kitties in those ruffles all snuggly-like. Maybe some snacks for myself. …

This is one get-up that will attract the ladies! It’s a keyboard smoking jacket and flip flops to match. It looks like the keyboard can massage your feet while you walk- but I am completely against any sort of flip-flop to begin with because of the naked feet factor. I …

Check out Paris-based artist Lorenzo Nanni’s designs. I can’t help to think of mold, petri dish growths. But, I’m in a yeast infection sort of mind , so don’t mind me… maybe Lorenzo is, too! I am digging the corset that looks like intestines. It’s like the inside has been …

Designer Moo Piyasombatkul and a recent graduate of Central Saint Martins’ unveiled a collection called ‘Baroque Eyes’ at Browns.

Well, well, well….. what do we have here? It’s the American Girl Doll: Scare-the-children-and make-them-mentally -unstable-for-life Collection! Normally, I don’t post such gruesome things, but these dolls from Space Ghetto were exceptional since I can’t resist dolls with lace dresses. I don’t care what the face looks like, if it has …

Look at the frolicking monsters amongst the happy trees and happy seas! This is exactly what Bob Ross would’ve thrown into his paintings if PBS would let him, dammit. Artist Oujbl (which remains anonymous) takes the fugliest 1970’s thrift shop paintings and enhances them with fun sea creatures …

Carolina Fontoura Alzaga used old bike chains, rims and spokes to make the most unglamorous chandelier ever! It’s like Joan Collins without the shoulder pads. It’s like Farrah Fawcett without the Charlie’s Angels hair. It’s like Zsa Zsa without her hands to slap police officers. How can a chandelier not …

Check out these accessories and shoes by Gabriella Marina Gonzalez…kinda steampunkish and 70’s Glam! I think these are the same shoes that Lady Gaga trips on every now and then. I’ve had my share of huge platforms back in the day (the ’90s, not the ’70s – I’m not that …

First, let’s get the FUG makeup out of the way: It’s like a mash up between Marilyn Manson and a paint huffer. Seriously, I’d like to see the inspiration boards for the makeup on this collection- I’m sure this is on there. Having said that, this collection was better than …
