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 …

Wowie Wow wow!! These outfits were like a wallpaper of an 18th century powder room, Japanese armor and Pre-schooler with scissor and glue were thrown into a dark room for 4 hours. What I mean by that is that it was pretty DAMN COOL! Although, I wouldn’t wear it to …

Disco hookers and Coke-sniffing 70’s socialites are rejoicing today because they finally have something to wear to their neighbor’s daytime pool party. I mean, they never would go in the pool… just sit by it. in the shade. away from the water. so they don’t get wet. or tanned. Any who, …

I love when fashion gets all bizarre. Isn’t that the point of fashion? To do some thing different and not look like a mall rat? Right? Any who, there’s a fine line between insanely cool and just straight up cray cray. This collection lies on the INSANELY COOL side. Those …

According to designer Olivier Rousting, this season’s Balmain collection was inspired by the garish Kim Kardashian-West. When I first looked at the collection, I thought it looked like somethings she would wear and I thought to myself how cheap and basic, with the exception of a few choice outfits. Then I read …

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 …

This season’s collection by Jean Paul Gaultier was inspired by a very famous nightclub in Paris by the name of Le Palace, which I am guessing, was much like Studio 54 of NYC. The late seventies and early eighties shined through the collection through the silk pajama sets, punk-era hair, and lots of …
