I love how the models are in the street with these fantastic outfits. What’s so great about this collection are the riding hats and the knee/boot covers… I don’t know really what they’re called but it saves you from shaving half your legs- WIN! Anywho, Givenchy is really on my …

Eighties Electronica is certainly back thanks to Balenciaga. I have to say, that pleated pants, especially in pleather can be so unflattering. I can see someone with a very polished jerry curl hairdo sporting these pants. I’m kind of expecting a flock of Solid Gold Dancers to photo bomb these …

First off, I didn’t know one of the guys from ZZ Top found a second wind as a fashion designer. Second, although the colors are great- I always thought guys need to wear more color in general- the Friday the 13th masks are totally killing it. Seriously, if I saw …

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon when I went to a luxury gift suite run by Nathalie Dubois-Sissoko for the 2012 Golden Globes. Held on the rooftop of the post Luxe Hotel on Rodeo in Beverly Hills, the suite had lots of unique goodies for the stars of the show. …

Designer David Delfin loves color! It’s great to see loads of color take over a collection, especially a Spring collection. All those paint chips that a lifted from the Home Depot are going to go into good use on my next project. I may just staple all the paint chips to a …

Karl the Kaiser has never set foot in India, so he’s never seen the monkeys that steal, the harrowing poverty amongst the children and for sure the chilled monkey brains (ok, that was in Indiana Jones, but it totally could’ve been real, man!). Instead, Karl popped in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ , some cheezey Bollywood movie for inspiration. …

Japanese design house Jenny Fax by Shueh Jen-Fang of Mikio Sakabe has to be one of the most ‘in-tune to my taste’ collections. I mean, it has huge Dynasty-like poufy shoulders, pastels and cute screen prints of anime and cats! Seriously, I have the same fashion sense as 5-12 year old girl. I also shop …
Read More »Louis Vuitton- Spring 2012- Sweet enough to eat!
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, …

Rei Kawakubo went down the wedding aisle for Comme des Garçon’s Spring collection. Seriously, each outfit could’ve been a wedding dress of some sort of really artsy person’s wedding (I’m looking at you Nooni Schoener.) Having an entire collection in one color is pretty risky, but to have them paired …
Read More »Inbar Spector- Spring 2012- Lots of Buzz around the Honeycomb
London-based designer Inbar Spector is definitely one to watch! The honeycomb dresses fashioned out of tulle and sheer fabrics are something out of a sci-fi movie. There’s something punky about the shiny snakeskin paired with a delicate tulle, which I love. My fave is obviously the flashy, gold dress at the top. …
