I keep forgetting that John Galliano no longer designs for ‘John Galliano’, which is such a pity. I realize every time after seeing the collection and thinking, ‘damn, that was FUG’. Then I see the photo of current designer, Bill Gaytten, in the last thumbnail and kinda groan with disappointment. …

Wow! This collection is probably my favorite from Comme Des Garçon. It’s very cartoonish and bright, which I adore. Although, they are not very body conscious, it’s okay because it really looks like a cartoon character smashed by a steamroller , which is always a good look in my book. …

Designer Bernhard Willhelm went all out punk with a dash of sport. I’m really liking the tiger shorts in the last two looks. Besides that , I think the rest is all a massive mess. The Braveheart face paint is definitely not helping. I do have to say that those unraveling sweaters …

HAHAHAAHAAHAHAH! This trend of covering the models’ faces is really getting out of hand. Every ‘buttaface’ model has a chance now. A little Rorschach-ian, I suppose That is all. photos: Fashion 156

This is the Le Vieux Panier Hotel, Marseilles, France. One very special room got the royal treatment ( and by royal, I mean the like the walls of a subway station that smells of 50 years of piss and sweat) by graffiti artist Tilt. More photos here. I personally would love …

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 …

Check out the photography and art direction of Robert G Bartholot…My fave is the top two images of the dude getting his brains blown out. I mean, it looks less creepy than what I just wrote. As for the others, what can I say? It’s like a bunch of Brooklyn …

If I told you these sculptures were all made of shredded CDs, would you believe it?Australian artist Sean Avery took a bunch of old CDs and DVDs and shredded them, I don’t know how, and make these awesome animal sculptures. Seriously, that sh*t is tedious. So, I really commend Sean put doing …

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 …
