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 …

If I told you these sculptures were all made of shredded CDs, would you believe it?Australian artist Sean Avery took a bunch of old CDs and DVDs and shredded them, I don’t know how, and make these awesome animal sculptures. Seriously, that sh*t is tedious. So, I really commend Sean put doing …

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 …

London accessories designer Fred Butler showed a plethora of pastel origami on heads, shoulders, chests, and waists. I always love Fred’s playful and youthful designs each season. That pointy shoulder origami ensemble is pretty rad. I’d totally wear that with a Judy Jetson skirt. Also, loving the pastel hair! I wish I …

Artist Guy Laramee has a lot of time to kill with these incredibly detailed landscapes chiseled onto books, encyclopedias and anything else that the iPad killed. Seriously, I have to hand it to him for making such creations because a) it requires a super steady hand b) a lot of imagination and c) mad …
