…JUST KIDDING! The British, deep, dark, depressed goth king of fashion, Gareth Pugh, showed how spring should look like with black EVERYTHING (ok, not everything)and touches of gold. This was his happy, sunny collection… and by happy, sunny, I mean, looking like you just walked out of an ancient Aztec …

Thom Browne‘s latest women’s collection was set in, what looked like, a pool locker room. The collection was a profusion of trompe l’oeil Stepford Wife suits and dresses in pastel shades and flashes of the signature red, white and blue stripes. What I loved about this collection was the trompe …

Check out the latest and the greatest (and by greatest, I mean, the most effed up and delirious!) from V Files! That last look totally reminds me of this time when I wanted to make haute couture out of a 6-pack roll of Charmin. I was 13 and bored. …

There was some major basket weaving going on at Viktor & Rolf…. I bet if you peaked backstage you’d see this lady. It was a mixed bag for, honestly. I usually love Viktor & Rolf because they have their own style and trends that they follow, but this time I …

Leave it to Jean Paul Gaultier to show us “How to do That”! And by that, I mean, go all woodsy in high style! It was faux bois mania at Gaultier’s Haute Couture show and it was fantastic. Flooring departments at Home Depots across the nation would be proud of the …

Maison Margiela is synonymous with the strange and odd. So, who else better than John Galliano to serve that up with a touch of French baroque. I, actually, didn’t mind the crazy looks, but probably because I’m a huge Galliano fan. Since he left Dior, I feel like he hasn’t …

This is probably my least favorite collection by Chanel in a long ass time. I really had to dig to find these four looks as possibly-maybe my favorites. Although the clothes were meh to me, the concept of having the entire haute couture atelier be the backdrop of the fashion …

Iris van Herpin’s collections are highly technical and fashion forward, in terms of material and execution. However, you can’t deny that some of these dresses look like seashell vaginas. Or something growing in a petri dish. In any case, she’s a pioneer in fashion, so we should give an extra …
