Givenchy made their entire Fall 2017 collection in the devil’s fave color- RED. It’s so damn dramatic! Red on red on red not only looks devious, but it could also be a hot look for an Italian restaurant… I mean, if a little red sauce gets on you, no one …

The spotlight is on designer Rei Kawakubo with the opening of her retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum in NYC.

It was a mash-up of Punk Rock and Origami at the Junya Watanabe’s latest runway collection. All the vibrant plaids chiseled into futuristic forms only the Japanese have perfected, it was a most perfect collection. Back in the olden days when I was a chipper teenager, I used to wear …

Comme Des Garçon always serves up impractical fashion at its finest. Here are the conversations that must go on in a Comme Des Garçon design room: “Sitting is so passé! What? Use the bathroom?? What’s that? Going through a door that’s NOT a French door…. impossible! Scratching an itch on …
