I love how Jean Paul recreates endlessly the corset and evening gown. My favorite is absolutely the peach corset gown in the second photo. It’s so beautiful, down to the yummy croissants around the hips and boobs. My son would love that. During the haute couture shows, we have seen …

I’m loving Andrei Amado‘s Fall 2011 collection, not because it’s fashion-forward and original, but because I want to burrow my face into that soft, cuddly fur! It really is like a surrogate Mr. Marmar. I would definitely pack one of those outfits on a trip, just so I can snuggle …

When I first saw this collection, all I could think about was: a)The imitable Tilda Swinton as the White Witch with the yummy Turkish delight treats in that Narnia movie. and b) Mr. Marmar’s luxurious fluffy muffin fur. The resemblance is uncanny, especially in 5th photo. I just want take …

I have never heard of Sacai, but I saw these photos and I just had to mention that that first coat totally looks like my friend’s Hungarian Puli sheep dog. That’s all I have for this collection…. it’s pretty wearable and cozy. I especially like the collar in the third …

Designer Manish Arora is pretty good at using color in his collection and I admire him for that. I’m especially loving the hair, in particular the girl with the pink do. So cool! I have a pact with myself that when my hair goes greyish-white, I’m going dye it cotton …

Usually I bypass Ann Demuellelewhatever’s collection because it’s usually something made for a depressed, emo butch. But this season, she came out of hibernation with a new standard for depression… FURRY depression! Taking a page out of Chanel’s Sasquatch fur suit and Louise Gray, Ann put out her own twist …

This collection was straight-up FUG, in my opinion. Rarely do I rip apart a collection like this (actually, I do it all the time), but it was like 1960s over again and not in the good way. The diarrhea colors, the shag carpet, ill fitting silhouette…. ugh. I do have …

Wonderful silhouettes at Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2011 show… it was the 1960’s meets equestrian military meets high-class hooker. LOVE IT! What I love most are the peter pan collars. I just bought a peter pan collar not too long ago that can be worn over anything, so I’m definitely going …

Designer Jeremy Scott always gives us bold collections that leave your head with nice bout of ‘WTF?’… So, this season was no different with Coca-Cola references and God. Kinda funny… I like that he sees humor in fashion and doesn’t take it too seriously, but it’s not too crazy to make …
