Those mad hatter hats were a major theme in the Louis Vuitton show designed by Marc Jacobs. You could hide a small, immigrant family up there. But the main attraction was the steam train with the many bellboys carrying the ho’s luggage. Really, I wish I had a bellboy like …

It’s so FLUFFY!!!!! McQueen’s latest collection was fantastic, except that it looked more like something Viktor & Rolf would do, not gothic designer Alexander McQueen. I didn’t expect all these pinks and whites from a designer who made their name with skulls and bones. But, whatever, I LOVE it. I’m …

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. …

Wow! This collection is probably my favorite from Comme Des Garçon. It’s very cartoonish and bright, which I adore. Although, they are not very body conscious, it’s okay because it really looks like a cartoon character smashed by a steamroller , which is always a good look in my book. …

Designer Bernhard Willhelm went all out punk with a dash of sport. I’m really liking the tiger shorts in the last two looks. Besides that , I think the rest is all a massive mess. The Braveheart face paint is definitely not helping. I do have to say that those unraveling sweaters …

HAHAHAAHAAHAHAH! This trend of covering the models’ faces is really getting out of hand. Every ‘buttaface’ model has a chance now. A little Rorschach-ian, I suppose That is all. photos: Fashion 156

All I can see are a rainbow of colors that was missing from the Fall shows all around the world , so that automatically is a plus in my book. Manish gave the 1950s silhouette a punky, colorful twist that I LOVE. And the doody knots on the models heads …

Leave it to Gareth Pugh to create the most ominous, futuristic collections. Even an emo Hot Topic goth is like- DAAAAANNNNGG. Nothing really earth shattering in this collection since every other Gareth Pugh collection has the same damn theme- deep, dark, depressed with a touch of Star Trek. My fave …
Read More »Mugler- Fall 2012- Shoulder to Shoulder
Those famous vintage Mugler shoulder pads came back for the fall collection. I’m happily surprised that this collection is actually wearable compared to the condom-like latex of the past seasons. I guess Formichetti is finally settling into nicely as the head designer at Mugler. Although, I do miss Thierry’s roidy …
Read More »Organ Jewelry
French artist Lou Giesen designed these pieces of jewelry that look like organs in a human body. I’m not sure what the top photo is but if I saw that hanging some chick’s neck, I would probably tell her she should have that taken care of STAT. The gold necklace is actually …
