As Stefon from SNL would say…this collection had everything… men in heels, a human-sized bath loofah, and giant snake-skinned bows! Ever wonder what to do with extra fabric from a curtain hanging in a motel in Del Boca Vista? Make it into a goddamn dress, that’s what! Vaquera is still …

Belgian designer Raf Simons (formerly of Christian Dior – remember those awesome sequined sneakers? That’s him!) has been reconstructing Calvin Klein for the past year.

Newcomer Lou Dallas gave us King Richard’s Faire glamour for her Fall 2018 collection. King Richard’s Faire is a medieval faire in New England where the deep, dark and depressed flock to to live out their Dark Ages fantasies through cosplay and whatnot. It’s really a sight to see, especially …

What a beautifully polished collection! It was ALL satin and full of BOWS and Ruffles and BOWS! As you may know, I love BOWS. Anywho, there was a circus /masquerade vibe to it all. In any case, I really liked the simpleness of the collection fabric-wise coupled with advanced techniques …

John Galliano’s latest designs for Maison Margiela was a display of fashion and technology colliding. It collided so hard it looked like a train wreck…. but, whatever…. it’s Galliano and he can never do anything ugly in my book. Anywho, I have to say I really liked the vivid colors …

They should really call it ‘Comme Des Garçon HOMELY PLUS’. Anywho, I just posted this for the post-apocalyptic serial killer masks and the candy-colored hair on the dude models. Clearly, they’re not into whatever they signed up to sell. Anywho, ENJOY! photos: Vogue
