If there ever was an outfit to wear during an epic bitch smack, Grateful Dead groupie designer Walter Van Beirendonck has got it covered! His Fall 2017 collection featured over-sized man-hands attached to winter jackets. These hands could also be a diversion to using an iPhone every minute of the day…. consider …

A collective of three designers made up a show called “MAN” in London for fall of 2017. It was pretty out there, which I enjoy for entertainment. But, if I saw dudes running around the street in an adobe chimney or a patriot fish costume, I’d probably take my children …

Israeli artist Tamara Kostianovsky created a series of work called “Actus Reus”. She took pieces of clothing and created butchered meat for the series. Here is her (F)artist statement: “The material connects our bodies with the ones in the work, bringing violent acts into a familiar realm. My intention is to confront …

Israeli artist Costa Magarakis creates fantastically mystical sculptures out of shoes that are reminiscent of the gothic works of Tim Burton and Guillermo Del Torro.

Anrealage has been pretty fashion-forward and now you can say they are technology-forward, too.

This is totally, like, what a punk rock origami aficionado would wear. So many sharp folds! So many spikes! So much eyeliner! So many ripped fishnets! I have to say, I do like this collection and would probably rank photo 2 as my favorite. All those spikes are bound to …

Woe is the dude in the blue rain poncho and pants! Give him a piece of chocolate…. a fluffy kitten…. a unicorn… something to cheer him up. Anywho, this collection was a mess, but was to be expected because it’s Hood by Air. Models wallowed down the runway in awkwardly fitted …

…JUST KIDDING! The British, deep, dark, depressed goth king of fashion, Gareth Pugh, showed how spring should look like with black EVERYTHING (ok, not everything)and touches of gold. This was his happy, sunny collection… and by happy, sunny, I mean, looking like you just walked out of an ancient Aztec …

Check out the latest and the greatest (and by greatest, I mean, the most effed up and delirious!) from V Files! That last look totally reminds me of this time when I wanted to make haute couture out of a 6-pack roll of Charmin. I was 13 and bored. …
