Check out these cool designs by Iris Van Herpen! Honestly, here designs are super amazing and stuff, but I feel it’s the same thing every season. I couldn’t tell you one season from another.Maybe it’s the lack of color in all her collections? But, having said that, maybe that’s why …

We can always count on Guo Pei for the theatrics! Actually, I didn’t know  if Guo Pei was a man or woman , but today that mystery is solved! It’s a woman! And, man, is she talented! She’s the designer that made Rihanna’s fur coat/gown for the Met Ball on …

Above are a few of my favorite looks… and yes, I’d smuggle Miss Mimi everywhere in …

I’ve been watching Delpozo for a a few seasons now and love how the origami tailoring is so distinct to the label. Delpozo has really proved themselves to be able to hang with the big boys of fashion. Now that Raf Simons has exited Dior, perhaps Delpozo’s Josep Font can …

  Check out the latest and the greatest (and by greatest, I mean, the most effed up and delirious!) from V Files! That last look totally reminds me of this time when I wanted to make haute couture out of a 6-pack roll of Charmin. I was 13 and bored. …
