Met Ball 2017: Rei Kawakubo Comme des Garçons
The 2016 Met Gala’s theme is Manus x Machina, and appropriately, Marchesa tweeted out a collaboration with IBM- and their “Cognitive Dress” in the early morning hours. We’ve seen many memorable looks from past Met Ball themes of Punk and China through the Looking Glass. I just have Linda Fargo and Sarah Jessica Parker, as […]
Gucci Spring/Summer 2017
There is a fabulously chic tone to the Gucci Spring/Summer 2017 runway show- seemingly all of the librarian and 70’s looks from the past shows have been leading up to this on-trend collection. Again, some are a little too period costume or should’ve been edited out, but the others are so luxe- the fabric selection,…

Alexander Wang Fall/Winter 2016 New York Fashion Week NYFW MBFW FW16
Alexander Wang Fall/Winter 2016 New York Fashion Week runway show was a graphically driven collection that oozed hard rock style. Bold black and white stripes, marajuana prints, sheer shirts with text boxes providing the only coverage, grommets, tweet plaid, leather, bleach splotches, destroyed pastel cut-offs, sprayed on pole dancer graphics, fur-lined denim jackets, large mesh…
E. Tautz Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week FW16 LFW
E. Tautz Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week Collection has us pining nostalgically for a time gone by. Impeccable dress-wear, separates, suits, coats, sweaters, jackets, ties, scarves and ascots we actually want to try to pull off. The palette was black, gray, cream, camel suede, and deep blues. Plaid, gingham, bold pinstriped wool, the fabric…
Top Man Fall/Winter 2016 FW16
London Fashion Week kicked off with Top Man’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection, which put to rest all of my doubts and fears about embodying the 70’s trend, which it seems to resonate as a continuation of the SS16 trend, as well as a touch of grunge and 90’s, what with the destroyed denim. Velvet in deep dark…
John Varvatos Spring 2016 Menswear
The John Varvatos SS16 Spring/Summer 2016 menswear collection featured the expected spring stripes and military jackets; the fabric-selection was everything, creating gorgeous suits and separates, of course all with a hard-edged rocker-chic vibe. Lucky Blue Smith strut the runway, fitting perfectly into the look with his platinum blonde hair. I did love the classic looks more than…
Cut Away Cateye Requested Tut:
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_GuP4xCzJc&w=560&h=315] create a cateye then, using a contour brush and black shadow, line the lower lash line almost to the ends and the crease keeping away from the cateye flick- blend away from the hard-edge line. Reapply black shadow to further define the lines.
Andy Biersack Eye Makeup 1st Attempt
I just discovered Andy Biersack, and was so taken by his look I had to attempt to emulate his eye makeup. I went for the red eyeshadow at the outer corners; smudged liner in the Arabic style, lining all the way around the eyes; and applied black, metallic silver, and gun metal eyeshadows to the…
