Check out those eight-inch, red-soled stilettos/pointe shoes by Christian Louboutin! They were made especially for the English National Ballet‘s fundraising auction, along with the black tutu dress at the bottom by Moschino. Other designers for the auction include Agent Provocateur and Julian MacDonald. I threw in some photos of Karl …

Alexis Mabille ‘s fall couture collection had elements of hunting ( in my eyes) with the fur sleeves and the feathers used throughout the collection. The fur sleeves definitely have a gorilla effect. Specifically, a silver back. For someone who’s name is synonymous with glamour, elegance and bitchiness, …
Read More »what I made : The Purse Edition
I was really inspired by the Alexander McQueen Faberge handbag I saw at The Met a few months ago. Here is a photo of it. Although it’s definitely not as intricate as the McQueen one, the one above that I made is surely less expensive and still gets the look …

I love how Jean Paul recreates endlessly the corset and evening gown. My favorite is absolutely the peach corset gown in the second photo. It’s so beautiful, down to the yummy croissants around the hips and boobs. My son would love that. During the haute couture shows, we have seen …

First off, I think all fashion shows should end with a class yearbook photo of the front and behind. It really puts things in perspective and saves us bloggers huge amounts of time reformatting photos and stuff. So YAY for that. Which brings me to my yearbook photo…. That …

Elie Saab has a knack for creating the most elegant princess dress ever. Like this is some Disney Princess sh*t right here. Love it. He should sharpen his needles and scissors, pack up and move his operation into the House of Dior because they need something like this STAT to …

Ever since John ‘Heil’ Galliano got fired earlier this year, the House of Christian Dior has been merde -ing their pantalons on getting couture right. In my opinion, no one can compete with Galliano’s craftsmanship and ultra-precise cuts, not even the 2 relatively unknown designers it took to complete this collection. …
Read More »Dior Gun
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. …
Read More »Creepy Mary Jane Boots by Prada
These Prada Mary Jane boots that cost $1500 scare the crap out of me. It’s like those prosthetic legs used like for special effects in a horror movie or something. Actually, as I look at them more and more, they look like an older lady’s legs, like a Mrs. Doubtfire …

Dutch designer Jantaminiau came out of friggin’ nowhere with a couture line and I have to say – it’s friggin’ awesome! The collection was super small, but it’s quality, not quantity that makes this collection so cool. There is a lot of detail in each outfit, and that’s just looking from …
