Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

This is a little old, but pretty classic …. here’s XuMing Couture from China Spring Fashion Week 2013. These are really intricate dresses perfect for a movie or special event where you want to be the star villainess. I did some research on Xu Ming (I googled her ass) and couldn’t find …

Louisiana-native Stephanie Fernandez started dabbling in theatrical makeup since she was 14 years old. Now a college student, her works have become more and more intricate. It’s amazing what make up can do! Just look at Madge– although photoshop helped. Anywho, check out her site for more amazing works- my fave is …

At Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture show, it was all butterfly-themed. Either Gaultier has been watching ‘Silence of the Lambs’ (I know it’s really a moth, just go with me here) or he’s been jamming to Mariah Carey’s Butterfly one too many times. Either way, it was a beautimus collection, …

Wowiw Wow! Forty-four looks for Haute Couture! Someone’s fingers are bleeding from all the stitching done by hand! Even though she’s a relative newcomer to haute couture, Ulyana definitely knows a thing or two about couture. I love the structured bras- they look like bullet bras from the 1950’s… I …

s The House of Schiaparelli has been revived and I have to say it’s got the right amount of boring and touches of weird here and there for it to, probably, be successful. Honestly, the only look I approve of is the red frizzy fro and striped dress. I mean, …

It was wooly grey that dominated the catwalk at Thom Browne’s menswear show this season. The proportions were in Andre Leon Tally territory and the fabrics were heavy and stiff like…. I dunno what. The animal hats are pretty sweet especially the elephant one! It’s like that Davy Jones in …
