I can’t help to think these gorgeous gowns by Marchesa are reminiscent of Roman body armor and the slinky quality of a 1930’s flapper dress. Marchesa has got to be one of the best American designing houses of all-time.  You may disagree, but each gown is just so specially detailed …

  Okay, so I am totally guilty of digging deep into the vortex of the internet to bring you a post. I was hoping to write more about the New York Fashion Week, but almost all the collections were not WTF enough. It was pretty boring and normal stuff. So …

    If you happen to be in Montreal, you should get to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts before October 2 to see the archived collections of Jean Paul Gaultier. As a huge gaultier fan, I’m kinda bummed that this exhibit probably will not be touring in the US, at least …

I recently took a trip to Rhode Island and NYC (thankfully before Miss Irene came around) and I wanted to share with you some images I collected during the trip. Firstly, above is an ensemble I wore at the Rhode Island International Film Festival for my husband’s screening of his …

  Artist Lorenzo Duran has taken OCD to another level. No, I’m kidding this is a true art. Dude hand cuts these intricate designs into leaves using a paper-cutting technique used in China, Japan, Germany and Switzerland to create CutawayLeaf Art.

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 …

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. …
