Designer Thom Browne found inspiration for his Fall 2013 Men’s collection from the Toy Soldier. These are toy soldiers that have a Marilyn Manson obsession, because that’s all I see. They look like they’re gonna roll up on you on a midnight train to Nuremberg, take your passport, kick you …

Sarah Burton produced 10 looks for McQueen this season, which is pretty small. But, each look was extra fantastical, so that made up for that. As you may know, Sarah Burton is preggers, so she’s pretty much sitting at home eating pickles and ice cream while looking through Pinterest …
