Dutch designer Femke Agema ( sounds like a serious condition, doesn’t it?) has a knack for designing cocoon-like suits and jackets. I’m really impressed by the craftsmanship and ingenuity, especially the hood with built in goggles. Be sure to check out the ‘Hideout’ Collection, which my 7 year old would love. He loves anything …

I love Piers Atkinson’s work and this season was no different. The jewel-encrusted animal print berets, the pom poms, the animal ears, the stuffed animals on the head, the BOWS! So, cool, but I do have to say the men’s hats are all sorts of freaky. I mean, who doesn’t …

Those mad hatter hats were a major theme in the Louis Vuitton show designed by Marc Jacobs. You could hide a small, immigrant family up there. But the main attraction was the steam train with the many bellboys carrying the ho’s luggage. Really, I wish I had a bellboy like …

I keep forgetting that John Galliano no longer designs for ‘John Galliano’, which is such a pity. I realize every time after seeing the collection and thinking, ‘damn, that was FUG’. Then I see the photo of current designer, Bill Gaytten, in the last thumbnail and kinda groan with disappointment. …

Wow! This collection is probably my favorite from Comme Des Garçon. It’s very cartoonish and bright, which I adore. Although, they are not very body conscious, it’s okay because it really looks like a cartoon character smashed by a steamroller , which is always a good look in my book. …

Designer Bernhard Willhelm went all out punk with a dash  of sport. I’m really liking the tiger shorts in the last two looks. Besides that , I think the rest is all a massive mess. The Braveheart face paint is definitely not helping. I do have to say that those unraveling sweaters …

HAHAHAAHAAHAHAH! This trend of covering the models’ faces is really getting out of hand. Every ‘buttaface’ model has a chance now. A little Rorschach-ian, I suppose That is all. photos: Fashion 156

Central Saint Martins graduate Cornel Bolt really knows how to hide a woman’s curves. She really knows how to dress the lady who lunches at Hometown Buffet.  I’m kinda digging the double skirt that starts mid-thigh and ends right at your feet. Reminds me of those rappers who can’t seem to pull …

Leave it to Gareth Pugh to create the most ominous, futuristic collections. Even an emo Hot Topic goth is like- DAAAAANNNNGG.  Nothing really earth shattering in this collection since every other Gareth Pugh collection has the same damn theme- deep, dark, depressed with a touch of Star Trek. My fave …

Those famous vintage Mugler shoulder pads came back for the fall collection. I’m happily surprised that this collection is actually wearable compared to the condom-like latex of the past seasons. I guess Formichetti is finally settling into nicely as the head designer at Mugler. Although, I do miss Thierry’s roidy …
