The Supreme Beings fashion show at San Francisco’s SOMArts center showed the latest collection by IIMUAHII. Their designs are really intricate and and lots of pattern pieces to make one awesome jacket or dress. Check out their ‘process’ link on their site to see how much work goes into a piece. I …

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Designer  Angela Brandys is not afraid of color and mixing and matching textures to make a totally new look- punk rock luxe gypsy. I pulled that one out of my ass- but doesn’t it sound super fancy and cool… punk rock luxe gypsy. Yeeeaaaah, I like …

OMG! BOWSSSSS! And they’re made out of fluffy and soft FEATHERS!!! As you may know, I have a bow obsession and it’s not just a phase. What I love about these bows by   Our House Design are the luscious colors and the fact that they’re made from super soft feathers! The only …

This is the Ilanio fashion show at the  Supreme Beings fashion show at San Francisco’s SOMArts center this past March. I have to say I had a Hot Topic flashback with the spiked rubber tumor dress because it totally looks like this backpack my friend (and a million other emo/goth ravers) used to …

Dutch design firm Elroy Klee did a series of photos called ‘Mindplay: bricks on me’ with Legos as wigs. I really love this and am tempted to raid my son’s lego collection and make a damn wig out of them. It looks like pixelated hair. So robotic. Anywho, I think I’ve found …
