Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

Last month, my family and I embarked on a road trip to LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, CA! It was not our first time there, but it was still exciting, especially since they added the NINJAGO wing of the theme park. We enjoyed the NINJAGO ride, which featured futuristic hand- motion captures …

Dolce & Gabbana’s love affair with Italy is still going strong! This season, dress were made to look like tomato sauce cans, pasta were printed on dress, and ornate band jackets were thrown into the mix representing music.  Food, music and glamour… all cornerstones of a fabulous lifestyle. If the …

This is totally, like, what a punk rock origami aficionado would wear. So many sharp folds! So many spikes! So much eyeliner! So many ripped fishnets! I have to say, I do like this collection and would probably rank photo 2 as my favorite. All those spikes are bound to …

Comme Des Garçon always serves up impractical fashion at its finest. Here are the conversations that must go on in a Comme Des Garçon design room: “Sitting is so passé! What? Use the bathroom?? What’s that? Going through a door that’s NOT a French door…. impossible! Scratching an itch on …

Ashish went Bollywood this season! Honestly, the clothes are ‘meh’, but the crowns and jewels are where it’s at. Also, the blue face was cool, but don’t be surprised if a crowd of Smurfs protest… blue face is not a funny matter to them! Anywho, this was Ashish for the …

Woe is the dude in the blue rain poncho and pants! Give him a piece of chocolate…. a fluffy kitten…. a unicorn… something to cheer him up. Anywho, this collection was a mess, but was to be expected because it’s Hood by Air. Models wallowed down the runway in awkwardly fitted …

Oh my goodness! Look at all those MUTTON SLEEVES! Fun Fact: Mutton sleeves are my FAVORITE! I love how the shoulders puff out like some sort of Baroque ruler. This is probably my most favorite Dsquared collection to date. It was a mix of a renaissance, band leader, street vixen. …

I’ve been watching Delpozo for a a few seasons now and love how the origami tailoring is so distinct to the label. Delpozo has really proved themselves to be able to hang with the big boys of fashion. Now that Raf Simons has exited Dior, perhaps Delpozo’s Josep Font can …

Designer Philip Plein’s latest show was aptly named “Alice in Ghettoland” and had Paris Hilton and Fergie walk the runway show. To me, this was sort of like a low rent Moschino/Jeremy Scott show, especially with the gold chains and denim combination, as well as that swimsuit in the 6th photo. …

Not much to say here, except that this is pretty gorgeous! Have a wonderful Holiday season from all of us at Teacups and Couture! photos: Vogue
