This one time I went camping in our backyard. It was one of the single most dreadful experiences of my life. The ground was hard, the sleeping bag was all twisted and it was balls- to- the- wall cold. I was paranoid about small animals and bugs nesting in our …

These are some incredibly intricate designs by one of my fave designers, John Galliano**. Some of it is a deconstructed mess, but some are really incredible! Like the jacket in the 2nd to last photo…. the tulle creates a face! Dayum! To me, that’s a wowie wow wow! Anywho, this …

Francesco Scognamiglio pulled a Maison Margiela with its bejeweled face mask, but still managed to hold his own with beautifully crafted gowns for his latest haute couture collection. My favorite look is the first look with the motorcycle jacket with lace detail. Leather and Lace can never go wrong together …

Fluffy and foofy was the theme of the Chanel couture show this season… Karl blah blah blah-ed about how he wanted a ‘clean’ collection and it sure does look ‘clean’- as in ‘lots of feathers for dusting and swiffering’, right?? Maybe that’s not what he meant. Anywho, I think my …

If there ever was an outfit to wear during an epic bitch smack, Grateful Dead groupie designer Walter Van Beirendonck has got it covered!

A collective of three designers made up a show called “MAN” in London for fall of 2017. It was pretty out there, which I enjoy for entertainment. But, if I saw dudes running around the street in an adobe chimney or a patriot fish costume, I’d probably take my children …

This collection was just plain beautiful. The light colors, rich fabrics and cuts reminiscent of the Romantic time-period (late 1700’s) made for a regal and classic collection that maybe the best Valli collection yet. Above are a few of my favorite looks… and yes, I’d smuggle Miss Mimi everywhere in …
Read More »Christian Dior- Spring 2017 – Romantically Flawless
It was the debut collection for Maria Grazia Chiuri for Christian Dior and I would say, she pretty much nailed it. She captured the romance of Dior ( I’m sure her time at Valentino helped her hone that craft) flawlessly and set the stage for Dior to go back to its …
Read More »Gucci- Spring 2017- Eccentric Glamour
I’m always in awe with how many ways Gucci can make a collection more offbeat than the next. As a recent Gucci-worshipper, this collection was no different. It was elegant, yet uncommon. It was wearable, yet eccentric. It mixed street fashion with high fashion… it was perfect! And those oversized …
