Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

Japanese designer Jenny Fax dug deep into the 80’s for inspiration for her latest collection. Cabbage Patch Dolls were the main attraction at the show. This would’ve been epic if the Garbage Pail Kids were replaced with those prissy Cabbage Patch dolls. I used to have 2 Cabbage Patch Dolls and I …

First off, it took me a good 5-6 minutes to figure out the people in these drawings are the designers of the fashion house logo. I mean, who knew Louis Vuitton looked like Saddam Hussein and Yves Saint Laurent looked like John Lennon??? Anywho, Dutch artist Mike Frederiqo took the clever idea of …

DANG! This is the Devil’s Pet by the Icelandic creator Thorunn Arnadottir. Obviously, Thor is a kitty hater! I’ve already done some voodoo involving Mr. Miggins and Miss Mimi, some catnip and a tattered, stuffed Thor hammer, so that’s covered. The only thing that would redeem this display of kitty hate …

Whoa! These bizarre sculptures are made of the ever delicate porcelain, which gives it an even more creepy layer of strange. What I’m trying to says I’m confused if I should invite the piece over for  tea or go hide under my bed until next week. It’s a toss up. …

These are fan-friggin-tastic! Photographer Jaroslav Wieczorkiewicz latest work is a 1940’s pin-up calendar with milk as the wardrobe.

Check out the amazing artwork of Californian Noir Nouar! It’s vintage-style, kitschiness, and tongue-in-cheek humor is definitely what I admire most about her work. Check out some of her other works here. I need to put some these around the house! photos: Nouar

I’m still not quite sure who Pam Hogg is, but she’s definitely on my list of ones to watch. Her shows are always entertaining and theatrical. This season, as with any other season she has designed, there was really no rhyme or reason to her collection…. no theme. Unless, I’m …

Here is Sarah Burton’s latest collection for Alexander McQueen. I’m not in love with it… actually, I could care less about this collection. It’s just sort of FUG, in my opinion. It’s supposed to be influenced by Scottish kilts and Zulu tribes but all I see is FUG, FUG, a …

  Oh that Karl… he’s gotten all artsy fartsy on us. Which is ok, because I actually like this collection. I don’t love love love it, but I like it. The paint swatches are what really have me excited. The thyroid tumor pearl necklaces are also rad in my book. …
