Fluffy and foofy was the theme of the Chanel couture show this season… Karl blah blah blah-ed about how he wanted a ‘clean’ collection and it sure does look ‘clean’- as in ‘lots of feathers for dusting and swiffering’, right?? Maybe that’s not what he meant. Anywho, I think my …

This collection was just plain beautiful. The light colors, rich fabrics and cuts reminiscent of the Romantic time-period (late 1700’s) made for a regal and classic collection that maybe the best Valli collection yet. Above are a few of my favorite looks… and yes, I’d smuggle Miss Mimi everywhere in …

Breakout the Milk of Magnesium and Werther’s toffee… it’s Fendi’s 90th birthday!! And to celebrate, Karl Lagerfeld (he’s been at Fendi for 50 years!) chartered a flight from Paris to Rome for all his guests to the impeccable show at the Trevi Fountain. Models walked on water with the most …

There was some major basket weaving going on at Viktor & Rolf…. I bet if you peaked backstage you’d see this lady.  It was a mixed bag for, honestly. I usually love Viktor & Rolf because they have their own style and trends that they follow, but this time I …

Leave it to Jean Paul Gaultier to show us “How to do That”! And by that, I mean, go all woodsy in high style! It was faux bois mania at Gaultier’s Haute Couture show and it was fantastic. Flooring departments at Home Depots across the nation would be proud of the …

Maison Margiela is synonymous with the strange and odd. So, who else better than John Galliano to serve that up with a touch of French baroque. I, actually, didn’t mind the crazy looks, but probably because I’m a huge Galliano fan. Since he left Dior, I feel like he hasn’t …

This is probably my least favorite collection by Chanel in a long ass time. I really had to dig to find these four looks as possibly-maybe my favorites. Although the clothes were meh to me, the concept of having the entire haute couture atelier be the backdrop of the fashion …

Iris van Herpin’s collections are highly technical and fashion forward, in terms of material and execution. However, you can’t deny that some of these dresses look like seashell vaginas. Or something growing in a petri dish. In any case, she’s a pioneer in fashion, so we should give an extra …

On my most recent trip to New York City, I had the wonderful privilege to visit the ‘Manus X Machina’ exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of New York. Sponsored by Apple, the exhibit displayed a ravishing collection of couture items from designers like, Chanel, Comme Des Garçon, Iris Van Herpin …

It all turned up roses at Zuhair Murad’s Spring Couture show. Gowns bloomed with flowers in time for Spring and it was GORGEOUS! I loved the caged skirts…. it gave the collection a baroque theme, which is my favorite era.  I give this collection a two thumbs up and if …
