This one time I went camping in our backyard. It was one of the single most dreadful experiences of my life. The ground was hard, the sleeping bag was all twisted and it was balls- to- the- wall cold. I was paranoid about small animals and bugs nesting in our …

If there ever was an outfit to wear during an epic bitch smack, Grateful Dead groupie designer Walter Van Beirendonck has got it covered! His Fall 2017 collection featured over-sized man-hands attached to winter jackets. These hands could also be a diversion to using an iPhone every minute of the day…. consider …

A collective of three designers made up a show called “MAN” in London for fall of 2017. It was pretty out there, which I enjoy for entertainment. But, if I saw dudes running around the street in an adobe chimney or a patriot fish costume, I’d probably take my children …

This collection was just plain beautiful. The light colors, rich fabrics and cuts reminiscent of the Romantic time-period (late 1700’s) made for a regal and classic collection that maybe the best Valli collection yet. Above are a few of my favorite looks… and yes, I’d smuggle Miss Mimi everywhere in …

Leave it to Jean Paul Gaultier to show us “How to do That”! And by that, I mean, go all woodsy in high style! It was faux bois mania at Gaultier’s Haute Couture show and it was fantastic. Flooring departments at Home Depots across the nation would be proud of the …

Maison Margiela is synonymous with the strange and odd. So, who else better than John Galliano to serve that up with a touch of French baroque. I, actually, didn’t mind the crazy looks, but probably because I’m a huge Galliano fan. Since he left Dior, I feel like he hasn’t …
Read More »Chanel- Fall 2016- Haute Couture- Meh
This is probably my least favorite collection by Chanel in a long ass time. I really had to dig to find these four looks as possibly-maybe my favorites. Although the clothes were meh to me, the concept of having the entire haute couture atelier be the backdrop of the fashion …
Read More »Iris Van Herpin- Fall 2016- Haute Couture- The Future
Iris van Herpin’s collections are highly technical and fashion forward, in terms of material and execution. However, you can’t deny that some of these dresses look like seashell vaginas. Or something growing in a petri dish. In any case, she’s a pioneer in fashion, so we should give an extra …

This totally reminds me my friend’s dog that had his matted, sheep dog hair in his face all the time. That is all. photos: Vogue
