Out Outdoes Itself

 Dark, sleek, black leather clad with slicked back hair, this guy is a 21st century rock star.  Out Magazine’s story “Dark Days,” featured in the September issue, takes us on a sullen world tour of American, French, Italian, and English fashion.  John Varvatos and DSquared2’s leather pants…(no verb required). I see the nod to the…

Toxic Beauty: Ugly Truth

   We associate beauty with youth, health, clear skin, and shiny long hair, but can the chemicals in your beauty & household products cause cancer & disease, premature aging, and worse, poison and negatively impact your health?   Just because it’s sold in stores, online, or is produced by big name companies, consumers feel the…

A sheer dress revealing a thong seems like it should catch Madonna’s eye.  A Fanny Messenger, a gorgeous grey pinstripe suit with long jacket, a sheer burnt copper dress with leather piping, unusual belting, and a unique off-the-shoulder necklace stood out of the collection.  Was there an ode to Stacy London of What Not to…

Rebecca Taylor Fall ’15

While I absolutely hate the floral print, I do love the blue cropped jacket, pleated metallic skirt, and jackets.  There are many chic looks, and a few frumpy ones: the blue fringe jacket look, and the honky tonk dress with thigh-highs. …And he saw that it was good and bad.  

Organic by John Patrick

A gorgeous green contrast-sleeve coat precedes horrible board-shorts…  There is a very masculine tone to the styling of this collection: a shirt dress with karate belt, peach pants and combat boots? Who is this girl?  Do we Love Lust or Run? She’s ready to fight one moment, then dresses for her day job: librarian …Run!…

Gary Graham

Gary Graham’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection was dark, chic, and a muddled mess: this bag lady likes to wear it all at once.

Grammy’s Worst

Kim Kardashian wore a hideous Gaultier catastrophe, and Rihanna looked like IVF Barbie in Giambattista Valli Couture.

When Good Designers Go Bad

Viktor & Rolph, you may remember for Katy Perry’s “E.T.” Shirt dress- which was genius, sent Jeremy Scott stupidity down the runway… We’re talking crazy crafter on hoarder juice- then throw some wheat on there for good measure. The convoluted, heavy, old, unsightly looks beg for logical explanation. This is a fashion crime- a travesty…
