Inspired by birds, insects and amphibians, The Imaginarium Apparel specializes in unique, one-of- a- kind designs for the dramatic lady in you. Basically, it’s what Morticia would wear if she loved feathers and leather. The feather cape in the last photo is pretty sweet. It’s like a deep, dark, depressed Mardi Gras showgirl. Check out The …

The housecoat is back! I’ve been wearing housecoats for years. It’s like a security blanket over my pajamas. And, yes, I’m one of those crazy ladies that picks up their child from school in a housecoat. The thing about the housecoat is that, you’re not sure if it’s a robe …

Japanese designer Anrealage has a taste for the avant guard. Last year they did a pixel- collection was pretty rad. This season was all about the boxy cage dress in neon colors. LOVE! It’s like a birdcage and you’re the overgrown bird. My fave is the yellow dress with the huge shoulders… …

When I think of Russia, I think of Bond girls in white fur and diamonds drinking vodka. I also think of fat, burly, men drinking vodka and wearing those fur hats. So, in other words, Russia reminds me of fur and vodka mostly. Anywho, Russian designer Valentin Yudashkin went by way …

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 …

Only in Japan is there a store dedicated to all things wicker – Tokyo Wani Department Store. It sounds like a Floridian retirement home times ten. Anywho, I went on their website and everything was in Japanese, so I’ll make up stuff like usual. One thing that they nailed down in wicker …

All this plaid and tartan this season! I don’t know what to do with myself! I’m a big fan of plaid as you may know, so this collection was pretty rad. The double slits are like Angelina Jolie all over again except double the pleasure. The purple lining looks …

I just discovered this designer, Antonio Marras this season, so forgive me if you’ve already heard of him and it’s old news to you. Kinda hard to research fashion stuff like this with a baby hanging from your teat and a little boy throwing legos down the back of …

I’m loving these 1940s-1950s dress coats! So classic! So Mad Men! And the fur sleeves totally look like you’re smuggling two wrinkly dogs. I’m going to praise Muiccia for not hot glueing big ass ornaments and jewels for once this season. It was starting to look like a runway show for …

London-based designer Ziad Ghanem went all dramatic and theatrical this season with models in vaudevillian make-up and dress. The collection didm’t look like it had a specific theme, it looked really random. I would say he’s sorta, kinda the British Jean Paul Gaultier, but Gaultier is a bit more polished in …
