This is totally, like, what a punk rock origami aficionado would wear. So many sharp folds! So many spikes! So much eyeliner! So many ripped fishnets! I have to say, I do like this collection and would probably rank photo 2 as my favorite. All those spikes are bound to …

Comme Des Garçon always serves up impractical fashion at its finest. Here are the conversations that must go on in a Comme Des Garçon design room: “Sitting is so passé! What? Use the bathroom?? What’s that? Going through a door that’s NOT a French door…. impossible! Scratching an itch on …

Ashish went Bollywood this season! Honestly, the clothes are ‘meh’, but the crowns and jewels are where it’s at. Also, the blue face was cool, but don’t be surprised if a crowd of Smurfs protest… blue face is not a funny matter to them! Anywho, this was Ashish for the …

Woe is the dude in the blue rain poncho and pants! Give him a piece of chocolate…. a fluffy kitten…. a unicorn… something to cheer him up. Anywho, this collection was a mess, but was to be expected because it’s Hood by Air. Models wallowed down the runway in awkwardly fitted …

Designer Philip Plein’s latest show was aptly named “Alice in Ghettoland” and had Paris Hilton and Fergie walk the runway show. To me, this was sort of like a low rent Moschino/Jeremy Scott show, especially with the gold chains and denim combination, as well as that swimsuit in the 6th photo. …

Here are my fave looks from the latest Fashion East collection. I’m glad to see that cherry print dress is making a comeback… Check out this dress I wore to a college prom in 1996 : I call it “Cherry Chola Mermaid”. I actually made that dress out of …

I love love loved Marc Jacobs’s latest collection because it gave me flashbacks to my YOUTH! Being a shrimp all my life, those platform shoes never left my feet from 1993-1999 ! The riot girl style was hot back then, too… you know, the grunge, skater,punk look inspired by HOLE,L7 …
