When I saw these, I KNEW I had to have it instantly. Sometimes I see things and I know it’s a must-have. I call it my 6th sense fashion intuition. Really, I was born with it because I remember since I was little I would instantly want something, like my …

Here are some photos from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology’s Graduates Show. Seriously, I’m impressed that between dining on cats and dogs and child slave labor, they have the time to come up with such amazing outfits. The multi-layered collar is pretty Viktor & Rolf-ish. (Not this Rolf, but …

Check out this line of jewelry in the shape of molecules. These are not just any molecules, but some are the cocaine molecule, cigarette, alcohol, and other drugs. Being straight edge all my life, I find this pretty awful, but if you’re into it, this might be right up your …

Words of wisdom from German artist Iris Scheiferstein, “The earlier you die – the longer you are dead.” Ummmmmmmm…. yeah. Makes sense, I guess. But you gotta say it in a German accent for the full effect. Iris takes dead animals and preserves them into footwear, because everyone needs to wear …
Read More »Random stuff from Fashion is BS
I came across these gems on a site called Fashion is Bullshit and I have to say, it’s like hitting comedy gold! Really, who wouldn’t want an eye on the back of their head? They should paint it green like that eye monster in Monsters, Inc… that would totally intrigue …

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 …
