That Sarah Burton is really deceiving with her ‘comfortable shoes’ and frumpy personal style. Who would have thought she could come up with this beautiful collection that could’ve come from Alexander McQueen’s very own brain? The best part of it all are the hooded dresses. They should make more of …

Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the craptastic photos. But, I do have a good explanation. This was shot at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles, where every room, hallway and nook and cranny is hopelessly dim. It’s a beautiful hotel designed by Philippe Starck, but it’s starving for light. …

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 …

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 …

The only reason I posted about British label Ashish is that they put flowers in a pair of army boots. Genius. I’m not a huge fan of flowered dresses, so no comment about that. Actually, yes comment on that. Flower dresses are reserved for department stores like JC Penney, in …

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 …

If you happen to be in Montreal, you should get to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts before October 2 to see the archived collections of Jean Paul Gaultier. As a huge gaultier fan, I’m kinda bummed that this exhibit probably will not be touring in the US, at least …

I recently took a trip to Rhode Island and NYC (thankfully before Miss Irene came around) and I wanted to share with you some images I collected during the trip. Firstly, above is an ensemble I wore at the Rhode Island International Film Festival for my husband’s screening of his …

Read More »Cutaway Leaf Art by Lorenzo Duran
Artist Lorenzo Duran has taken OCD to another level. No, I’m kidding this is a true art. Dude hand cuts these intricate designs into leaves using a paper-cutting technique used in China, Japan, Germany and Switzerland to create CutawayLeaf Art. This reminds me of that incredible hat made by Philip Treacy …
