  How do you say gorgeous in French? Le Gorgeous? Nope! Jean Paul Gaultier!! I loved every piece (which is rare) of this collection. From the Cruella DeVil leopard pieces to the   thick piped dresses in gold and nude, this was it! Those conical hats have a funnel quality …

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 …

  Here are my favorite looks from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Haute Couture show. The fifth photo is awesome! It’s like an ‘elegant’ redo of the Madonna cone bra corset.   Only Gaultier can make boobs look like chic  traffic cones. The finale of his shows is usually a wedding …

  I love Chanel in general, but sometimes the collections can be geared towards the rich memaws  of the world, which can be frustrating for the young crowd. I think the key to make Chanel not matronly is to mix it up with punky things, like safety pins and funky …

Check out Korean designer Chloe Kim, a student at Central Saint Martins. This  collection was her senior show and I must say it is gorgeous! All the tulle, the pastels, all the ragged edges- it’s like a punk-rock ethereal fairy. I couldn’t find much on her online, but here’s a …

Three as Four is one of those designers that pretty much spit out the same stuff every season, just in a different shade of color. I guess they are avant guarde still, but DAMN! mix it up a bit. The only look I like is the dress with the mirrors …

Hells Yeah! I’m down for the foofy shawls and neck pieces! So snuggley and elegant! My favorite has to be fourth photo of the really feminine tuxedo. I love the colors peach and black together. There’s something lingerie and classic about the two colors. That Alexis ( don’t mistake him …

London-based designer Inbar Spector is pretty much the master of making honeycomb gowns. I’ve written about Inbar before and have her on my radar. What I love most about her designs is how ethereal and otherworldly they are. It sort of does remind me of Alexander McQueen if he had a super feminine …

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 …

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 …
