Woe is the dude in the blue rain poncho and pants! Give him a piece of chocolate…. a fluffy kitten…. a unicorn… something to cheer him up. Anywho, this collection was a mess, but was to be expected because it’s Hood by Air. Models wallowed down the runway in awkwardly fitted …

Oh my goodness! Look at all those MUTTON SLEEVES! Fun Fact: Mutton sleeves are my FAVORITE! I love how the shoulders puff out like some sort of Baroque ruler. This is probably my most favorite Dsquared collection to date. It was a mix of a renaissance, band leader, street vixen. …

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 …

Designer Philip Plein’s latest show was aptly named “Alice in Ghettoland” and had Paris Hilton and Fergie walk the runway show. To me, this was sort of like a low rent Moschino/Jeremy Scott show, especially with the gold chains and denim combination, as well as that swimsuit in the 6th photo. …

…JUST KIDDING! The British, deep, dark, depressed goth king of fashion, Gareth Pugh, showed how spring should look like with black EVERYTHING (ok, not everything)and touches of gold. This was his happy, sunny collection… and by happy, sunny, I mean, looking like you just walked out of an ancient Aztec …

Thom Browne‘s latest women’s collection was set in, what looked like, a pool locker room. The collection was a profusion of trompe l’oeil Stepford Wife suits and dresses in pastel shades and flashes of the signature red, white and blue stripes. What I loved about this collection was the trompe …

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. …
