These are some incredibly intricate designs by one of my fave designers, John Galliano**. Some of it is a deconstructed mess, but some are really incredible! Like the jacket in the 2nd to last photo…. the tulle creates a face! Dayum! To me, that’s a wowie wow wow! Anywho, this …

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 …

It was John Galliano’s debut couture collection for Maison Margiela and it was on point. There’s no denying Galliano’s touch is that of intricate, beautifully executed couture gold. This is exactly what the House of Margiela needs– exquisite craftsmanship to balance out the experimental fodder that has made them sort …

John Galliano is back! And he breathed new life into Maison Margiela…I bet he did it by twirling his villain mustache and waving his pimp cane. So, hip hip hooray for Galliano getting back into the game and showing it how it’s done. I still give Margiela a big stamp …

Marc Jacobs can go back to roasting his chiseled moobs on a big-ass piece of foil full-time now because it was his last show at Louis Vuitton. He went out with a somber shuffle, rather than a bang with all his funeral chic clothing. Everything was black… I mean, every …

Although I really would like to punch the A-hole who created pantyhose in the balls, I have to say these stockings are actually really cool. Pantyhose, as you may know, is the leading cause of feminine itching, feminine aggression and overall annoyance of the female kind. It also can …

The House of Schiaparelli has been revived by Christian Lacroix (he’s focusing on theater costumes) this season and only this season, which I find fitting. Both designers are/were over-the-top carnival, sometimes busy, but always joyous. This special collection can be seen at the Pavillon de Flore of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs …

I think I have found my new favorite designer and her name is Ulyana Sergeenko . Here is her Haute Couture Spring 2013 collection. I did a little research on Ulyana ( I just googled her ass ) and found she’s a socialite- type (that may or may not be a Zsa …

I keep forgetting that John Galliano no longer designs for ‘John Galliano’, which is such a pity. I realize every time after seeing the collection and thinking, ‘damn, that was FUG’. Then I see the photo of current designer, Bill Gaytten, in the last thumbnail and kinda groan with disappointment. …

And just like that, Christian Dior went back to being the matronly label you’d find at the Mature Women’s section of Syms. Seriously, if they can coax back John Galliano to design again for Dior,with a bottle of wine and a collection of sharpies to draw on his mustache, then …
