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 …

I was a little confused as to whether or not Red Valentino is in anyway associated with the Valentino, whose signature color is, indeed, red. All I could find was this site that I’m guessing is the site for Red Valentino, which has nothing to do with Valentino the huge …

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 …

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 …
