My next project is to go to every fabric store within a 15 mile radius and gather as many fabric swatches as I can. Then, I’m gonna take my trusty glue gun and glue them all to a Salvation Army business suit. Then….. wait a minute! Comme des Garçon …

Only in Japan is there a store dedicated to all things wicker – Tokyo Wani Department Store. It sounds like a Floridian retirement home times ten. Anywho, I went on their website and everything was in Japanese, so I’ll make up stuff like usual. One thing that they nailed down in wicker …

London-based designer Ziad Ghanem went all dramatic and theatrical this season with models in vaudevillian make-up and dress.

British-based fashion house KTZ served up some witchy looks for their Fall 2013 collection. My fave has to be the shearling outfit. Shearling is one of those split personality fabrics. One one side it says ‘I will keep you warm in the snow’. Then on the other side it says ‘don’t get …
