So colorful! So elegant! So tribal! It’s really hard to make tribal elegant, but Manish managed to accomplish just that. This is probably one of my favorite collections this season so far. Always incorporating his Indian roots, Manish’s designs are so very distinct. And the hair, like beautiful birds!! Yay …

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 …

  How do you say gorgeous in French? Le Gorgeous? Nope! Jean Paul Gaultier!! I loved every piece (which is rare) of this collection. From the Cruella DeVil leopard pieces to the   thick piped dresses in gold and nude, this was it! Those conical hats have a funnel quality …

  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 …

Japanese brand Undercover showed their Fall 2013 collection in Paris with their models in bunny masks and garments with rib cages and innards printed on them. In other words, it was my kind of show. I do have to say the bunny ear thing is a little played out. I mean, when …

Check out this awesome exhibit called “Arrrgh! Monsters of Fashion” at the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, which is based on a book called ‘Not a Toy: Fashioning Radical Characters’. This is definitely my scene , man! Monsters, fluffy stuff, bright colors, fashion…. it’s all I love! I love the Napoleon monster in the third …

  My next project is to go to every fabric store within a 15 mile radius and gather as many fabric swatches as I can. Then, I’m gonna take my trusty glue gun and glue them all to a Salvation Army business suit. Then….. wait a minute! Comme des Garçon …

  Sarah Burton produced 10 looks for McQueen this season, which is pretty small. But, each look was extra fantastical, so that made up for that. As you may know, Sarah Burton is preggers, so she’s pretty much sitting at home eating pickles and ice cream while looking through Pinterest …

  Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen showed her fourth haute couture collection called ‘Voltage’ at Paris’ fashion week. I’m not sure why Style.com doesn’t add Iris to to the their roster… I mean, yes, it’s avant guard, but isn’t that what haute couture is all about? Anywho, the dresses were all 3-D …

  Here are my favorite looks from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Haute Couture show. The fifth photo is awesome! It’s like an ‘elegant’ redo of the Madonna cone bra corset.   Only Gaultier can make boobs look like chic  traffic cones. The finale of his shows is usually a wedding …
