Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

I’ve written about Amato Haute Couture before  – I love love love  their stuff! The butterflies do remind me of Alexander McQueen’s dress, but it’s still rad anyway.  The model is Raina Hein from America’s Next Top Model… I never really see the contestants on that show doing much after …

Louis Vuitton and artist Vincent Bousserez joined forces for a brilliant series called   ‘Larger Than Life’. Tiny figures use the luxurious leather landscapes as their playground making for a wonderful scene. I love creative advertising like this! So, the artist does amazing work- check out his site, especially is art photos named ‘Plastic …

Etsy seller Percy Lau has a collection of weird jewelry ranging for ears to penises. Seriously, I’ve always wanted a penis ring (not really). The ear earring is the freakiest , in my opinion. It’s like those optical illusion pictures- an ear within an ear within an ear….. creepy. Anywho, Percy also incorporates …

Scientists in Australia had a brilliant idea to add a nasty bacteria to wine to transform it into the fabric of our lives- cotton. Seriously, this is something people at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting would brainstorm when their mentor is gone for a few minutes to the restroom. I mean, …

London College of Fashion graduate Rikke Bonde  designed a collection that has me sort of wondering if he’s ever been to California. According to Fashion 156,  ” The collection was highly influenced by a journey Rikki made to California.”   Really? Because last I remember, usually you sweat your balls off, …

Check out these shirts by Headline Shirts ! I’m a big fan of the Pantone products, especially the coffee mugs and chairs. But, Pantone and THE MUPPETS?! Yes, puhhhleeease! My fave, obviously, is Piggy… light pink. A few months ago I threw a Muppet-themed birthday party for my 7 year old son. I …

Remember that awful awful nuclear meltdown in Chernobyl? People had to move forever far away, wild animals were fenced into the contaminated area, people across Europe started developing thyroid problems and weird growths, basically, it was a disaster and 26 years later, it’s still inhabitable. Some of you who read …

Check out these cool chairs from Kamina C ! Looks like Bambi has met her maker. I kid… As you may know, deers hold a very special place in my heart. Actually, any woodland creature holds a very special place in my heart and the more Bavarian, the better. I guess I …

These are the latest series from artist Scott Scheidly. I’m only really attracted to them because of the pink. It does look funny that some of the most powerful men are wearing pink. Although, I am a staunch supporter of men wearing pink. My 7 year old has a pink gingham …

Artist Ron Ulicny creates pieces that make you think for a long damn time. I like those kinds of artists. For instance, the fat sumo with an iPAD… shouldn’t he be putting on his diaper instead of playing ‘Angry Birds’? And is he an iPAD dock at the same time? These are …
