This is the Le Vieux Panier Hotel, Marseilles, France. One very special room got the royal treatment ( and by royal, I mean the like the walls of a subway station that smells of 50 years of piss and sweat) by graffiti artist Tilt. More photos here. I personally would love …

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 …

Central Saint Martins graduate Cornel Bolt really knows how to hide a woman’s curves. She really knows how to dress the lady who lunches at Hometown Buffet. I’m kinda digging the double skirt that starts mid-thigh and ends right at your feet. Reminds me of those rappers who can’t seem to pull …

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 …

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 …

Check out the photography and art direction of Robert G Bartholot…My fave is the top two images of the dude getting his brains blown out. I mean, it looks less creepy than what I just wrote. As for the others, what can I say? It’s like a bunch of Brooklyn …

If I told you these sculptures were all made of shredded CDs, would you believe it?Australian artist Sean Avery took a bunch of old CDs and DVDs and shredded them, I don’t know how, and make these awesome animal sculptures. Seriously, that sh*t is tedious. So, I really commend Sean put doing …

Check out Luxury Lane – they have everything from home goods to leather accessories to outerwear for men and women. They sent me a pair of green leather gloves with a BOW (yes, my bow obsession continues … in LEATHER), lined in wool. They really are snuggly and warm. The best …

Mary is usually the queen of trompe l’oeil, but this season, she decided to go more science fiction than the lanai in a Boca retirement home. It had elements of Alexander McQueen’s collection that made the armadillo shoe so popular. You know the one where the models had cable car tracks …

If you took everything in my closet, plus the contents of a drag queen’s closet and add a dash of Punky Brewster– you would get Meadham Kirchoff’s Fall 2012 collection. All the sparkle, spangle, fur and explosion of prints is enough to disorient anyone with a pair of eyes. Instead …
