Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

The Royal College of Art Graduate Fashion Shows is always a gem. This year was no different. Here are 2 of my favorite WTF looks this year. The crystal head thingies are by Maiko Takeda and the menswear is by Lucie Vincini. Let’s start with the ring thingy stuff in the …

Check out Etsy store Carrion Comfort ! They take old Bailey’s teacups  and transform them into it’s emo, deep, dark and depressed older brother. I think they’re pretty cool! I actually have a set of the original preppy Bailey’s teacups and consider them to be one of my prized possessions in my curio. …

Designer Larisa Katz  wore biscuit tins to a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Katz specializes in art couture for advertising, so this year she wore German-biscuit maker Lambert’s biscuit tins. This is pretty impressive. I love couture like this. Taking the unexpected and making something really exquisite and unusual out …

Check out these effed up photos from Modern Weekly China. This is treading on gimp territory. Anywho, that third picture looks like Cousin It at a Hawaiian wedding ceremony. And the 2nd photo is giving me “Planet of the Apes” vibes. Just so you know: Photographed by Matthu Placek, styling by Avena Gallagher, and hair by Guido …

Right now, I’m trying to secure $1,300 to make a Mr. Marmar (RIP, my sweets)  doll. So far, I have $32 and 46 pennies and a half-eaten bar of snickers. I have a long way to go, I know. Anywho, thanks to a Japanese company called Clone Factory, you can …

  Designer Kobi Levi has created shoes based on Disney Villains. Two things: Where is the hottest villainess of all, Cruella De Vil? The faces are painted on the inside sole, so when you wear the shoes, people just see some messed up pair shoes that a toddler may or may have …

Artist Pip and Pop and Australian fashion label Romance was Born  have collaborated in this trippy campaign featuring mushrooms, 60’s helmet hair, and lots of sugar. The pastel landscapes are all entirely made with sugar. I really, really love this because it reminds me of the one and only Lady Miss Kier from Dee-lite. She was pretty …

Karl the Kaiser has designed these Ice Cream Cone Shoes for Melissa. These are pretty sweet in my opinion and wouldn’t expect Karl ” She’s a little too fat” Lagerfeld to design these. I mean, ice cream adds more flesh and fat to a body of a mortal which is totally vomitotious …

Students Tim Bouckley, Millie Clive-Smith, Mi Eun Kim and Yuta Sugawara  of The Royal College of Art in London have invented a  headset/face mask that can adjust sound and sight to the wearer’s preference. Basically, it’s a personal tuner for your face and it’s called Eidos. Two things: How does it know to adjust …

Japanese company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts have created postcards featuring sushi cats! This is so ridiculous, it’s genius. These cats are stealing the fishes thunder. I’m definitely okay with that since cats are more cuddly than fish. Check out their online shop with a free mobile app, a variety of postcards and …
