Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

Montreal artist, Heidi Taillefer, puts a crapload of detail in all her work. Look at that lady’s pregnant belly? I think I spotted an electrical plug somewhere in there. I mean, I bet Waldo is hiding somewhere in there. Probably somewhere near her cooch for a figurative ‘tampon’ tribute. I’ll stop. Anywho, …

My dreams have finally come true! Feline couture tailor/ fellow crazy cat lady  Takako Iwasa   has written a book called Fashion Cats! Basically, it’s a scrapbook of the hottest pussies (sorry, couldn’t resist) in the fashion world! Takako is Japan’s answer to Karl Lagerfeld. I said and it stands. (What Would …

Here are some ‘Air-i-gami’  by artist Larry Moss… These are pretty cool considering balloons are super hard to work with. I’ve tried working with balloons for the sake of my son and everytime it would pop and scare the hejeebies out of me. Anywho, Larry has even done an installation called Balloon …

Check out these wall socket stickers by artist Adrien Gardère. Basically the socket is either the butthole or nose of an animal. How cute! Must be hilarious when it sparks fly during a shock. HHAHAHHAHAHA! Yes, I’m 34 and immature. Anywho, I’d totally put this in my kids’ room but, knowing …

  Those hats! Those silhouettes! Serbian fashion designer Ivana Pilja‘s latest collection is definitely one to remember. Although, it is reminiscent of Alexander McQueens last Spring collection before he died tragically.  Ivana won the Elle Fashion Award for her 2010 collection, so she’s pretty good at her game. Definitely one to watch! photos: …

Oh kitties, why do you have to go and do this to me?? I’ve melted and want to order the entire collection for my kitty harem. These majestic hats (or shall I say, chapeaus) and collars are made by the one and only  CAT Atelier on Etsy. The newsboy cap is my …

Speaking of fleas (see below), these nail landscapes would be their playground ! Artist Alice Bartlett flocked some fingernails and created landscapes with the tiniest figures. Very cool- there seems to be whole trend of miniature landscapes lately. I don’t know about you, but flocked nails are pretty damn cool, in my …

Check out the amazing work of  Szymon Klimek! It’s basically a very minute machine that does nothing significant in particular, inside a wine glass. This is really cool but couldn’t it play a circus melody or something? I mean, he put all that time into making these stunning masterpieces , wouldn’t you …

Photographer Nick Stern  has taken some of Banksy’s famous artworks and made them into real life photographs. This is so awesome in so many ways. There are more photos at Nick’s website that I couldn’t grab and post, but definitely worth it to click on over there and look at the whole collection. …

It’s nice to read about something “Octo” that’s not related to the Octomom, isn’t it? I know you thought I wrote ‘Octo-labia’ . Hahaha! Don’t get me wrong, I love watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion, but it’s refreshing to not have to see this or this. Anywho, here …
