Ever since John ‘Heil’ Galliano got fired earlier this year, the House of Christian Dior has been merde -ing their pantalons on getting couture right. In my opinion, no one can compete with Galliano’s craftsmanship and ultra-precise cuts, not even the 2 relatively unknown designers it took to complete this collection. …

Hyeres 2011 Design Contest’s Première Vision prize winner, Swiss designer Emilie Melden, really took the cake with her nest ensembles and mountain-frolicking gear.

Oh yes! Leave it to Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen to show them how it’s done! Couture is one of those instances where the designer has a license to put the most effed up stuff on the runway and Iris totally takes advantage of this! That fourth picture looks like a …

Dutch designer Jantaminiau came out of friggin’ nowhere with a couture line and I have to say – it’s friggin’ awesome! The collection was super small, but it’s quality, not quantity that makes this collection so cool. There is a lot of detail in each outfit, and that’s just looking from …

Explore their site, especially their collection named ‘Garden of Eden’ Spring 2007 for more unique pieces. My fave has to be the pearl outfit. It’s like that Prince song, ‘Diamond and …

Imagine the person, Martin Margiela– he doesn’t even design for the line anymore, but they still use his name! That kinda sucks, especially when the designs are like whhhaaaaaaaaat? I’d be pissed if I were him. I think it’s pretty genius when any designer covers the faces of the …

On my most recent trip to NYC, I took a gander at the windows at Bergdorf Goodman, which is a habit of mine since I was a little girl. Those windows are so damn magical! One of my favorite things about NYC is the ability to stroll down Fifth Ave. …
