When I saw these, I KNEW I had to have it instantly. Sometimes I see things and I know it’s a must-have. I call it my 6th sense fashion intuition. Really, I was born with it because I remember since I was little I would instantly want something, like my …

Words of wisdom from German artist Iris Scheiferstein, “The earlier you die – the longer you are dead.” Ummmmmmmm…. yeah. Makes sense, I guess. But you gotta say it in a German accent for the full effect. Iris takes dead animals and preserves them into footwear, because everyone needs to wear …

It’s so FLUFFY!!!!! McQueen’s latest collection was fantastic, except that it looked more like something Viktor & Rolf would do, not gothic designer Alexander McQueen. I didn’t expect all these pinks and whites from a designer who made their name with skulls and bones. But, whatever, I LOVE it. I’m …

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. …

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 …

London-based designer Inbar Spector is pretty much the master of making honeycomb gowns. I’ve written about Inbar before and have her on my radar. What I love most about her designs is how ethereal and otherworldly they are. It sort of does remind me of Alexander McQueen if he had a super feminine …

Norwegian designer Fam Irvoll showed her collection in London this season for the first time. Monsters were the main theme of the collection, which I loved. I really appreciate her playful designs and tongue-in-cheek humor of her designs. If you like the quirk, then definitely check out her website and …

Every collection Marchesa puts out I just adore and want every dress. I don’t think they’ve ever designed on FUG dress like, ever. This season, they really kept with the pastels and wispy, free-flowing gowns with a good measure of full length gowns with a dramatic lower half. The lacework …

The Bang-Bang handle by Russian Nikita Kovalev is definitely on my ‘How to be a Bad-Ass List‘. If I replaced all my doorknobs with this, I would be well on my way to frightening guests and scarring small children. But, nonetheless, still badass. Although, I can’t read Russian, I gather from her …
