Accessory and prop designer Fred Butler showed their Spring collection during London Fashion week recently and I must say, it’s like an explosion of color! I bet I could get the same vibe if I just took my son’s playhouse tent and wrapped it around my extremities. When you’re a raver, anything …

I’m not sure what to say about Louise Gray‘s collection except that I love the colors, which is a Louise Gray staple. It’s kinda funny her name is a drab color, gray, but she her collections are anything but drab. Anywho, this collection reminds me of those modern art …

Here are some photos from the Fashion Fringe show in London. Fashion Fringe is like a British Project Runway, but without the cameras to capture the bitchiness and breakdowns. Anywho, these are ‘WTF?’ standouts from the show. I’m glad to see they decided to polish the runways with slipper dusters. …

The only reason I posted about British label Ashish is that they put flowers in a pair of army boots. Genius. I’m not a huge fan of flowered dresses, so no comment about that. Actually, yes comment on that. Flower dresses are reserved for department stores like JC Penney, in …

Alexis Mabille ‘s fall couture collection had elements of hunting ( in my eyes) with the fur sleeves and the feathers used throughout the collection. The fur sleeves definitely have a gorilla effect. Specifically, a silver back. For someone who’s name is synonymous with glamour, elegance and bitchiness, …

I love how Jean Paul recreates endlessly the corset and evening gown. My favorite is absolutely the peach corset gown in the second photo. It’s so beautiful, down to the yummy croissants around the hips and boobs. My son would love that. During the haute couture shows, we have seen …

First off, I think all fashion shows should end with a class yearbook photo of the front and behind. It really puts things in perspective and saves us bloggers huge amounts of time reformatting photos and stuff. So YAY for that. Which brings me to my yearbook photo…. That …

Elie Saab has a knack for creating the most elegant princess dress ever. Like this is some Disney Princess sh*t right here. Love it. He should sharpen his needles and scissors, pack up and move his operation into the House of Dior because they need something like this STAT to …
Read More »Christian Dior – Fall 2011 Couture- Galliano’s absence is totally noticeable…
Ever since John ‘Heil’ Galliano got fired earlier this year, the House of Christian Dior has been merde -ing their pantalons on getting couture right. In my opinion, no one can compete with Galliano’s craftsmanship and ultra-precise cuts, not even the 2 relatively unknown designers it took to complete this collection. …

Oh yes! Leave it to Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen to show them how it’s done! Couture is one of those instances where the designer has a license to put the most effed up stuff on the runway and Iris totally takes advantage of this! That fourth picture looks like a …
