A Platform for Platforms

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GeRw5hZrH0&w=560&h=315] Platforms have long been worn by those in alternative style categories, from Goth to Pastel Goth and even Kerli’s Klick- who go by the fan-nickname MoonChild.   Japan apparently, as the video cites, has had them around for decades.  I’m sure you’re familiar with Y.R.U. if you live in the states: I love…

More Wearable Tech

Designers such as Charles Darius and Rebecca Minkoff have created iPhone Charger Bracelets.     We previously discussed smart shirts, date-rape drug detecting jewelry, (See previous Tech Style post), and now comes the The Smart Bag, likely to start a bag revolution. “Handmade bags with USB chargers, internal lights, a GPS tracker in case of loss…

Kawaii Charms

I’ve sculpted my 1st Kawaii charms out of polymer clay: marshmallows, a lollipop, Fuck You sweetheart candy, a sleepy or depressed pill, and a grey alien. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc4wG-QCC-4&w=560&h=315]   

Westwood Does Good

Vivienne Westwood Tees for a good cause: Factory Farms are an evil that should be illegalized. No living being should be confined and abused in such torturous conditions. If you’re ignorant on what I’m speaking of, watch Death On A Factory Farm, or search for how cows and pigs are mistreated and kept.       

Ways Fashion Trends Are Copying My Style

So, I dress pretty unusually, especially for a guy…but fashion’s trends seem  to be replicating my personal style. Fishnet Cropped tops: I started wearing cut-off tees and tops with cut outs or sheer since I got my tattoo… Sheer Bondage gear and collars Androgyny 90’s trend with goth and punk inspirations. Are you noticing a…

Saint Laurent SS16

Saint Laurent SS16 seemed like a dichotomous collection in that almost every short dress looked cheap and trashy, so I was wondering if it’s like white trash princess meets punktastic 90’s vixen…  I hate hate hate overalls…what the hell is that…as if those don’t already exist!  I loved the tux meets denim vest, that’s something…

Mourning Ann Demeulemeester SS16

It’s tragic, the realization that Ann Demeulemeester the brand has died.  The Spring/Summer 2016 Ann Demeulemeester collection has gone commercial, with no trace of the genius designer left…no androgyny, no crazy bias cuts and structural look to the dresses or looks… it is a very sad day.  I used to love seeing the androgynous boys…

Bottega Veneta SS16

The Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2016 collection was a confusing one: are those big pockets or horrible seam work on the leather coat?  That second look is perfect for the girl with D.I.D./M.P.D. (multiple personality disorder), because she can dress like two different people at once.  Maybe those nuns had a point to  the whole fingertip…

Why Male Androgyny Reigns Supreme.

In response to Elle magazine’s boo-hoo article on androgyny being a male-centered trend:😡 I have rebelled in the face of societal & gender norms my whole life: women have attained their freedom.  Androgyny is now a men’s movement, as it should be with the revolution brought on by the trans community- largely due to Caitlyn…

VMA’s: A Slutty Carpet Ride

      Between Chrissy Teigan and Gigi Hadid, it’s clear everyone lives in a delusional world in which they are Beyoncé…years ago. We shall define Hadid’s look as the whore-slit onesie: is it too much to ask that women cover their crotches? This would be appropriate as a swimsuit and wrap! Teigan’s is just trashy….
