Ever since Jean Paul Gaultier retired from Ready-to-Wear, I’ve been waiting to see his twice yearly Haute Couture collections like a crack addict waiting for their next hit… except the crack part is replaced with GLAMOUR, THANKYOUVERYMUCH. Anywho, Gaultier took a long, strange trip back to the 1960s with bold …

I’m getting a Palm Springs in the 1960s vibe and I like it!** Anywho, I love this collection! So fun, fresh and young. So flirty, flouncy and fabulous. Plus there’s lots of PINK, so that’s an instant win in my book. I have to say, flamingos are so underrated. Yeah …

Jeremy Scott unveiled some really cute outfits this season. One part Avengers-style (the British TV one) and one part alien invasion, this collection was probably one of his most wearable collections he has ever designed. I really love the color bars on the 60’s style suits. And you can do …

Designer Tata Naka seems to have been inspired by all the Mad Men costumes and I like it! THIS is the uniform for the pill-popping Republican wife, people! Watch and learn- I’m looking at you Cindy McCain. Aside from the Republican part, I’m digging the big bouffant hair, the garish colors, and the …

Marc Jacobs and Alexandre Herchcovitch must’ve had a sleep over watching that Tom Petty video on repeat while pigging out on Trader Joe’s Checkerboard Mouse Cake. I wanted to like this collection, but I feel like it was too repetitive and not interesting enough. I do love the splash of colors and the …

This must be my favorite collection from all the Spring fashion shows. It’s fresh, cute, sweet and stylish. I think Marc would do a great job at Dior with this sort of vision. The colors are like those minty candies you find at those 1970’s steak houses. I love doilies, …

This collection was straight-up FUG, in my opinion. Rarely do I rip apart a collection like this (actually, I do it all the time), but it was like 1960s over again and not in the good way. The diarrhea colors, the shag carpet, ill fitting silhouette…. ugh. I do have …

Wonderful silhouettes at Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2011 show… it was the 1960’s meets equestrian military meets high-class hooker. LOVE IT! What I love most are the peter pan collars. I just bought a peter pan collar not too long ago that can be worn over anything, so I’m definitely going …
