Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

Viktor & Rolf remains to be one of my favorite designers but this collection , I feel, was not their best. It was okay. I always like how Viktor & Rolf different dimensions of texture to their collections. This time is what ruffles and what looks like to me, pinwheels. …

I have never heard of Sacai, but I saw these photos and I just had to mention that that first coat totally looks like my friend’s Hungarian Puli sheep dog. That’s all I have for this collection…. it’s pretty wearable and cozy. I especially like the collar in the third …

Designer Manish Arora is pretty good at using color in his collection and I admire him for that. I’m especially loving the hair, in particular the girl with the pink do. So cool! I have a pact with myself that when my hair goes greyish-white, I’m going dye it cotton …

Issey Myake is famous for those pleated fabrics that dominate his collections. I always think they just forgot to iron the garment, but it’s actually on purpose. This season, the pleats were toned down and folded in an origami sort of way. Pretty innovative! The first three photos are quite …

I went snooping around the internet for fashion inspired by the Ritchie-Rich sport of Fencing. I really like fencing, but not because I’m a snob, but because you get to wear the coolest outfit while poking the crap out of your opponent. I kinda like that. Plus, it’s like the …

Usually I bypass Ann Demuellelewhatever’s collection because it’s usually something made for a depressed, emo butch. But this season, she came out of hibernation with a new standard for depression… FURRY depression! Taking a page out of Chanel’s Sasquatch fur suit and Louise Gray, Ann put out her own twist …

For my interviews for the Russell Brand movie, ‘Arthur’, I wore a pink pastel tweed pant suit that had a Chanel- style to it. Since, my ass can’t afford a $3,000 Chanel suit, I decided to make one. I made this a few seasons ago and was inspired by the …
