  My next project is to go to every fabric store within a 15 mile radius and gather as many fabric swatches as I can. Then, I’m gonna take my trusty glue gun and glue them all to a Salvation Army business suit. Then….. wait a minute! Comme des Garçon …

  Check out these mosaic dresses by Dolce & Gabbana! They were inspired by the Cathedral of Monreale in Sicily. Honestly, I think they forgot to put this beauty on a dress! I’m not super religious or anything but why does everyone in those paintings have a their head tilted like …

  I just discovered this designer, Antonio Marras this season, so forgive me if you’ve already heard of him and it’s old news to you. Kinda hard to research fashion stuff like this with a baby hanging from your teat and a little boy throwing legos down the back of …

London-based designer Ziad Ghanem went all dramatic and theatrical this season with  models in vaudevillian make-up and dress. The collection didm’t look like it had a specific theme, it looked really random.  I would say he’s sorta, kinda the British Jean Paul Gaultier, but Gaultier is a bit more polished in …

  The street inspired Fam Irvoll for her latest collection. Not Wisteria Lane, not Sesame Street, not the Champs Elysee, but rather that one street that prompts you to lock your car doors and whip out your mace, just in case. Hip Hop and Chola chicks were the inspiration but …

  The people at Sister Sibling must have a basement full of grandmas knitting their lives away in return for a pound of Werther’s Originals and Sanka. I never got into knitting but I won’t speak too soon… I’m sure there’s some kind of law of nature that once you …

Pam Hogg… hmmm… I have never heard of her until this season, but I love her already! Anybody that sends models down the runway with Christmas presents on their heads is A-OK in my book. I also love the American Horror Story bodysuits in Christmas colors, as well. It’s like …

  For the past decade or so, Moschino has sort of gone downhill for me. It’s not as whimsical and fun as it was when Franco Moschino designed for the label. However, this collection sort of redeemed itself to me. I do have to say it totally looks like a …

Every season, I look forward to the graduate collection at Central Saint Martins for several reasons. One is that the students don’t give an eff about selling their clothes, so they don’t have a suit telling them to design wearable stuff. So it’s like a WTF free for all- yay! …

British-based fashion house KTZ served up some witchy looks for their Fall 2013 collection. My fave has to be the shearling outfit. Shearling is one of those split personality fabrics. One one side it says ‘I will keep you warm in the snow’. Then on the other side it says ‘don’t get …
