A friend of mine gave me a heads up on this talented lingerie designer with a scandalous past… designer Zahia Dehar. She is a French former, high-end prostitute turned model/designer. Check out her fascinating back story here. It’s a nice story of trash, luxury and a happy ending (yes, pun intended)! Even Karl …

  Check out these outfits by designer Klara Kalicz! It’s from a collection called Angel Machine. With the touch of a button, the dress sprouts wings. I wonder if I can make this using Hefty garbage bags and an automatic umbrella…. I’m always looking for the broke ass way to replicate things. …

While we’re on the subject of messed up Japanese products…. You can find these creative beddings masquerading as sweet rolls and bread at Felissimo in Japan.
