Beautiful, small collection by newcomer Tomo Koizumi… is influences seem to be the Japanese school of avant guard designs by way of Yohji Yamamoto and Come Des Garçon. I see a little bit of Victor &Rolf, as well… In any case, the amount of tulle used must’ve been INSANE! Koizumi …

Anrealage has been pretty fashion-forward and now you can say they are technology-forward, too. Here’s what Vogue had to say about it: “Morinaga’s silhouettes tended toward the ample: flowing caped cocoon shapes and skirts, wide slit-leg trousers, tops with trenchcoat detailing, and boxy shifts with thick black bands binding the …

Dutch designer Bas Kosters is known for his outlandish designs. The stroller company, Bugaboo, has even had him commission strollers in his busy, head-spinning designs. It’s a conspiracy to keep babies dazed and confused in the buggy. Anyway, I don’t have much else to say about this collection, except maybe ‘Excedrin, and …

Danish artist Nikoline Live Andersen created these fantabulous wigs with the see no eveil, hear no evil, speak no evil monkeys. I love these wigs mainly because of the monkey. I mean, who wouldn’t want to carry their fur creature in their hair all day. If I could, I would carry Mr. …

Rodarte’s inspiration drew from the original Star Wars and my college theater costume design professor. That lady smelled like Sanka, Werther’s and cigarette smoke. She dressed like an extra from “Maude” everyday and was as tall as Big Bird. I never saw her without a strand of long- ass pearls …

I know these are from a while back in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, but they are so worth posting. It’s a collaboration with Tim Burton- each photo is a haute couture reincarnation of a character from one of his fantastic movies. His latest, Frankenweenie, opened a few weeks ago and …

I always wanted to walk around with a fox tail in real, everyday life and UK company Kigu has now made that possible. Depending on your mood for the day, you can walk around with a lizard, squirrel, lemur, dinosaur, lion, or fox tail. Apparently it swishes around like a real damn animal …

Dutch design firm Elroy Klee did a series of photos called ‘Mindplay: bricks on me’ with Legos as wigs. I really love this and am tempted to raid my son’s lego collection and make a damn wig out of them. It looks like pixelated hair. So robotic. Anywho, I think I’ve found …
