Oh yes! Leave it to Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen to show them how it’s done! Couture is one of those instances where the designer has a license to put the most effed up stuff on the runway and Iris totally takes advantage of this! That fourth picture looks like a …

Oh yes! Artist Ted Noten knows the nuts and bolts to a femme fatale. Lipstick, gun and stilettos (not pictured). The Dior 001 gun conceals lip-gloss, medicine, an antique hairpin, a USB stick with secret information ( my creme brulee recipe, if it was my gun) and a 100 gram sterling silver bar. …

Those Reed + Rader artists! Always trying to freak us out with their twitching and what not! Silly, I’m not falling for it again! This time, it’s not heroin shakes, but just some blinking and turning, etc. Nothing frightful… except that last lady sneaking up all creepy-like. (These are supposed …

Australian design house Romance was Born is no stranger to avant-guarde styles as seen in their latest collection above. Explore their site, especially their collection named ‘Garden of Eden’ Spring 2007 for more unique pieces. My fave has to be the pearl outfit. It’s like that Prince song, ‘Diamond and …

Imagine the person, Martin Margiela– he doesn’t even design for the line anymore, but they still use his name! That kinda sucks, especially when the designs are like whhhaaaaaaaaat? I’d be pissed if I were him. I think it’s pretty genius when any designer covers the faces of the …
