Dang! Those hats are pretty serious. They’re totally the hat preferred by most pimps. I really just posted these because of the hats, because the clothes look like really like something an old lady with circulation problems wears on a 70 degree day. I’m guilty of bundling up though, during …

London-based designer A La Disposition unveiled their Fall 2012 line with a dramatic show involving blacked out models and hats fit for an 18th century aristocrat hiding a jug of whiskey. Seriously, if I had a hat like that, I’d hide everything under there, including Mr. Marmar. Their collection involved lots …

Thom Browne brought out the insanity for the ladies, as well, this season. I’m not sure what all the extra padding is about, but surely a chic mental hospital somewhere is already putting in an order for those. As for the fox shawls, I really like those, since it’s like …

This is a super tiny collection by Serkan Curaird, which I’m guessing is a newcomer to the Paris Couture fashion scene. I’ve never heard of him (or her), remarkably, but I’m glad I have now. My fave is the fourth photo of what looks to be a cross between Toucan …

Oh that Jeremy Scott! I have to give it up for Jeremy because he has probably the most fun, colorful shows at New York Fashion Week. Seriously, dude has got a lot of rainbow, glitter and unicorns in his show to power an entire school of tweeners book covers. But, …

It’s that time of year agian where Central Saint Martins churns out the WTF designers of the future. Let’s see what the kids have for us today… Really the one set that stands out the most to me are the Chanel-style tweed suits with the bricks popping out like some …

Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen unveiled her Paris Couture collection making it to be one of the most, if not the most, avant guarde this season. I think that’s what haute couture is all about- pushing the boundaries to create very special ensembles that stand out through masterful workmanship and ingenuity. And …

Here is a taste of what’s to come for Fall from Alexander McQueen… So, beautiful with the structured silhouette for day and sheer structure for the evening. Really pretty how a free flowing sheer gown can look so sharp at the same time. Anywho, that Sarah Burton has done it …
Read More »Moschino Cheap & Chic- Pre-Fall 2012- Prim and Punk
YES!!! I love this collection from Moschino! It’s whimsical, punky, and girly at the same time. My fave has to be the trompe l’oeil sketched on details in the 2nd and 3rd photos. It’s so cartoony! I did that to a few shirts a few years and they remain to …

Those cobalt blue and white porcelains (delftware) sitting on your grandma’s curio cabinet have come to life at the latest Preen show. Since I’m a cat lady and collect tea cups, this collection was definitely on my favorite list. Anything that can make me looking like a walking afternoon tea …
