Designer Larisa Katz  wore biscuit tins to a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Katz specializes in art couture for advertising, so this year she wore German-biscuit maker Lambert’s biscuit tins. This is pretty impressive. I love couture like this. Taking the unexpected and making something really exquisite and unusual out …

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 …

If Silence of the Lambs was a theme on RuPaul’s Drag Race, you would get Amato Haute Couture’s mask collection. I’m not sure what season these dresses are from, but it looks pretty timeless to me. With all that studding and metal, you’ll never have to go to the gym …

Okay, I only posted this because of all the pink outfits. And that first one is so foofy! Couldn’t resist! That last outfit is made of butcher paper which I find pretty awesome. Something to do with all those Italian cold cut wrappings after all….  Besides that, the rest of …

Every collection Marchesa puts out I just adore and want every dress. I don’t think they’ve ever designed on FUG dress like, ever. This season, they really kept with the pastels and wispy, free-flowing gowns with a good measure of full length gowns with a dramatic lower half. The lacework …

-Bullet Coat Hooks by Brazilian Designer Anderson Horta– This would go great with my three guns vase. –Dsquared skeleton dress– So cool! It kinda looks a lobster is spread out on your back. –Balloon lights by  Estiluz– So magical, especially for a kid’s room. –World’s Largest Coffee or Tea cup from McPhee– I’m …

Check out these cool wigs and one-of-a-kind dresses by Posh Fairytale Couture! I never thought anything cool would come out of Alaska (sorry, Alaskans- but that Sarah Palin really shat your image), but Posh Fairytale Couture proved me wrong! My fave has to be the stuffed animal dress- that looks so rad, especially …

I can’t help to think these gorgeous gowns by Marchesa are reminiscent of Roman body armor and the slinky quality of a 1930’s flapper dress. Marchesa has got to be one of the best American designing houses of all-time.  You may disagree, but each gown is just so specially detailed …

Canadian artist Nicole Dextras created an installation of all sorts of gowns made from weeds, flowers, and anything green that a bunny would feast upon. I love when fashion uses unconventional ‘fabrics’ to create a truly WTF outfit. Pay attention to the weaving technique in the bodice of the fourth photo- isn’t …

When I saw these images, I totally gasped! It was like, so perfect and gorgeous.. and  I love the themes of the circus and Japan. The Japan photo set are like a modern geisha, so beautiful! I’ve written about Amato Haute Couture before, you can read it here. Since it’s wedding …
