London-based designer Inbar Spector is definitely one to watch! The honeycomb dresses fashioned out of tulle and sheer fabrics are something out of a sci-fi movie. There’s something punky about the shiny snakeskin paired with a delicate tulle, which I love. My fave is obviously the flashy, gold dress at the top. …

Accessory and prop designer Fred Butler showed their Spring collection during London Fashion week recently and I must say, it’s like an explosion of color! I bet I could get the same vibe if I just took my son’s playhouse tent and wrapped it around my extremities. When you’re a raver, anything …

I’m not sure what to say about Louise Gray‘s collection except that I love the colors, which is a Louise Gray staple. It’s kinda funny her name is a drab color, gray, but she her collections are anything but drab. Anywho, this collection reminds me of those modern art …

Here are some photos from the Fashion Fringe show in London. Fashion Fringe is like a British Project Runway, but without the cameras to capture the bitchiness and breakdowns.

I love love love this collection by Meadham Kirchoff! The pastel colors- the girlish touches, and Teddy Bears!! My fave has to be the mint feather dress in the 8th photo. It looks bouncy and cuddly like Mr. Marmar. I do see some influences by Fam Irvoll and Irregular Choice. The …

Canadian artist Nicole Dextras created an installation of all sorts of gowns made from weeds, flowers, and anything green that a bunny would feast upon. I love when fashion uses unconventional ‘fabrics’ to create a truly WTF outfit. Pay attention to the weaving technique in the bodice of the fourth photo- isn’t …

For my interviews for the Russell Brand movie, ‘Arthur’, I wore a pink pastel tweed pant suit that had a Chanel- style to it. Since, my ass can’t afford a $3,000 Chanel suit, I decided to make one. I made this a few seasons ago and was inspired by the …

Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen unveiled a Spring 2011 couture collection that puts some of the most famous designers to shame. This is the same designer I blogged about a while back with those cool shoes. The first outfit reminds me of a ram, like a steel ram…. so cool. You …
