I always like seeing what Gucci has inn store for us every season… I have to say it’s pretty much the same thrift store chic with some bat-shit crazy, 1970s granny librarian thrown in for good measure. I couldn’t expect anything less from Gucci… so here it is …. another …

John Galliano included hints of a freezing LeeLoo from “The Fifth Element” and dashes of hobo trapped in an Amazon warehouse for his latest collection for Maison Margiela. I find this collection visually stunning, but completely unwearable. I mean, how am I supposed to bitchsmack people when my arms are …

Andreas Kronthaler took over Vivienne Westwood for this season and didn’t disappoint with thrift store finds for the demented street urchin. Fabulous! So I googled Andreas’s ass to see what he’d done before and wikipedia burped out this gem: “Andreas Kronthaler (born 11 March 1952) is an Austrian former sport …

From the streets of Brooklyn to the pages of Vogue, Vaquera has come a long a way in such a short period of time. The designers probably burned all their financing money on Pabst beer, a vegan brunch and almond milk and all that was left was just enough to …

If Bernhard Willhelm took a few volunteering hobos from Venice Beach and mixed them with a nursing home in Japan, you would get the his Fall 2017 collection. It was a sight that gave elderly, hippy vibes plus a little Japanese punk for good measure. In other words, it was MESMERIZING! …

Thom Browne’s Men’s Collection was all about the tattered and torn hobo coats of yesteryears. In other words, it was a moth’s amusement park and people were, apparently, excited over this. The bowler hats were covering the models’ faces so that was already impressive that they didn’t bump into each …

The surrounding theme of this collection was bananas! I’d say it was more like ‘hobo- hippie on a safari rave’. Fun fact: There was this one dude I remember in my college days that totally fit the profile for ‘hobo-hippie on a safari rave’. He played the bongos and never …

What in hobo hell is this?! This is a real item for sale on Etsy. It will only set you back $59…. it’s a ‘hobo bindle’ for the lady looking for a bit of transient flair in her wardrobe. Honestly, if a carry a bindle, it would be strictly for the …

Whoa. Look what the cat dragged in, indeed. If you took a starving stray alley cat Miss Mimi with really sharp nails, a few jersey dresses from Target, and some cat nip to fuel the fire, this is pretty much the end result. This is usually what happens to me when …

Someone’s a fan of cancer in a can! Deliberate rips and sheds and more sequins than Liberace’s after-show cape made for a high-end, glittery gay hobo look that Mugatu would be proud of. I’m not sure what the obsession with Coca Cola is though. That shit will dissolve your …
