Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

Canadian artist Nicole Dextras created an installation of all sorts of gowns made from weeds, flowers, and anything green that a bunny would feast upon. I love when fashion uses unconventional ‘fabrics’ to create a truly WTF outfit. Pay attention to the weaving technique in the bodice of the fourth photo- isn’t …

I had the pleasure of going to the Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA again. I saw the exhibit last year in NYC, but wanted to take my son to see it in LA. Above is what I wore…. It’s sort of a bizarro-goth look, I guess? The dress is from …

Kerhao Yin, a graduate of Central Saint Martins, unveiled his Fall 2011 collection perfect for a Hometown Buffet binge! Seriously, I see an eatin’ dress when I see one. I mean it has built in bibs, the waistline seems adjustable and you can hide many  dinner rolls in your dress …

When I saw these images, I totally gasped! It was like, so perfect and gorgeous.. and  I love the themes of the circus and Japan. The Japan photo set are like a modern geisha, so beautiful! I’ve written about Amato Haute Couture before, you can read it here. Since it’s wedding …

The Golden Girls portrait in BEANS!!? Spice Girls in CANDY?!! Drew Barrymoore in MEAT?!! Donald Trump in JUNK?! Tammy Faye Baker in YARN?!! Who could ask for more?? These legends (at least in my little head) are all composed in art using random food and junk items that could feed …

These b*tches at the  Royal Ascot are showing how to do it RIGHT! The Kentucky Derby is like the younger, hillbilly sister of the Royal Ascot. You know the one that gets knocked up because she drank too many wine coolers on a camping trip. Anywho, let’s turn our focus …

It seems like suddenly every designer that ever was is doing a resort collection. I scrolled through most of them and nothing really caught my eye except some mental hospital inspired collection (see below) and this: a collection bows and cute little ladies! Lanvin unveiled their children’s collection, which I …
