Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

Rodarte’s inspiration drew from the original Star Wars and my college theater costume design professor. That lady smelled like Sanka, Werther’s and cigarette smoke. She dressed like an extra from “Maude” everyday and was as tall as Big Bird. I never saw her without a strand of long- ass pearls …
