Aganovich was a sculpturally genius collection and the most original show we’ve seen at any fashion week globally for Spring/Summer 2016, let alone Paris Fashion Week. The Burton-esque coats, corsets, and insane neckties were literally out of this world. This can certainly be great editorial material, as well as costumes, but I do not mean…

Dries Van Noten SS16: Senile for the Summer
The Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2016 collection was a confrabulation of the 70’s with the 50’s, which admittedly did serve up some glamour which was quickly tarnished by the before-pants or up-cycled high-water mom jeans. Metallic embroidery, jewel tone fabrics, weird unflattering bras and boob pouches sewn into the garments, and textile prints characterized this collection, which…
Paris Fashion Week SS16: The Bad and the Blah
There were several collections either too boring, safe, or so unflattering I couldn’t see feigning a discussion, so I decided to group them together. Courrèges: Contradictory to it’s name, the collection was safe and ugly. Margiela: I never like Margiela’s looks…if you were to see these photos without knowing who made the looks, you’d honestly…
Anrealage SS16
Anrealage Spring/Summer 2016 is the most Lady-Gaga-Appropriate collection we’ve seen of any fashion week thus far, globally. From the Avant-garde looks, from the eye-high pleated anonymity designs below (perhaps up Sia’s alley, that contrived bitch), to the mirrored kaleidoscopic looks, this collection has balls. It is all costume, but to go beyond the limitations of fashion…
Anthony Vaccarello SS16
Anthony Vaccarello’s Spring/Summer 2016 Collection started off with some Miley crotch bearing skirts, was that tiny flap expected to cover their Britneys? It can be forgiven, because the later skirts, a halfsie pleat like we’ve been seeing, and leather with metal embellishments made up for the slut-skirts. The show was cool, modern, retro with the…
Each x Other SS16
Each x Other SS16 was a refreshing kind of old meets youthful, with an obvious Victorian influence in some of the sleeves and pants, which were tied with black bands in this cray cray effect. The fabric selection invoked the spirit of the 70’s with textile prints and soft flowing fabric in loose fitted looks…
Designers’ Auras
How awesome is it to see designers’ auras? Harper’s Bazaar showed us the Auras of designers along with an interpretation of each, which vary drastically in appearance and meaning: visit http://bit.ly/1NYpDdJ for the interpretations.

Salvatore Ferragamo SS16
Salvatore Ferragamo has set out to redefine its brand as a fashion house, seeking to expand beyond its market position of leather goods– shoes and bags, belts and wallets are what we thing of when we hear Ferragamo. Has the brand truly shown us fashion in the seasons that have passed since it announced that…
Dolce and Gabbana SS16
Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2016 was a youthful collection, Jeune et Belle, with girly prints, embroidery, and appliques of flowers, phrases, Italian buildings, and pom poms. There was the dichotomous old lady present in the collection as well: she first reared her head in the matching coat, seemingly a lemon or floral print which looked…
Marni SS16
Marni’s SS16 collection was remiss of fashion and design…the butcher aprons, the shapeless voluminous looks which seem to prove the female form couldn’t be appropriately blocked by these “designers.” It’s funny to see materials and elements used by other designers in a cool refreshing way seem so out of touch here. Marni is a fashion…
