It was the usual gaudy Dolce & Gabbana show, except this time they laid on the gaudiness real thick. There were lots of gilded, gold embroidery upon black for a most dramatic impact. Seriously, it was like Liberace going to a Transylvanian funeral. In other words, I liked it. Anywho, …

It’s that time of year agian where Central Saint Martins churns out the WTF designers of the future. Let’s see what the kids have for us today… Really the one set that stands out the most to me are the Chanel-style tweed suits with the bricks popping out like some …

It’s fair to say that the humble pair of leggings has never been a huge favourite of the designer fash pack, but most mere mortals know that a good pair of leggings (in fact, make that several good pairs of leggings) are an essential component of any wardrobe. They are …

Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen unveiled her Paris Couture collection making it to be one of the most, if not the most,  avant guarde this season. I think that’s what haute couture is all about- pushing the boundaries to create very special ensembles that stand out through masterful workmanship and ingenuity. And …

YES! This is the stuff I used to do with my old Sassy magazines back in high school- minus the boobies. These are fashion collages by  Vahge . I’m not gonna lie, but I totally read ‘Vadge’ the first few times I saw the name of the artist. Vadge, Vahge…. doesn’t matter, …

Here is a taste of what’s to come for Fall from Alexander McQueen… So, beautiful with the structured silhouette for day and sheer structure for the evening. Really pretty how a free flowing sheer gown can look so sharp at the same time. Anywho, that Sarah Burton has done it …

And just like that, Christian Dior went back to being the matronly label you’d find at the Mature Women’s section of Syms. Seriously, if they can coax back John Galliano  to design again for Dior,with a bottle of  wine and a collection of sharpies to draw on his mustache,  then …

YES!!! I love this collection from Moschino! It’s whimsical, punky, and girly at the same time. My fave has to be the trompe l’oeil sketched on details in the 2nd and 3rd photos. It’s so cartoony! I did that to a few shirts a few years and they remain to …
