Paris Fashion Week Spring 2023 Paris Fashion Week was by far the best capital of fashion for the Spring 2023 season. Unfortunately, America or New York has fallen behind its European counterparts it fought so hard to prove it was equal with so long ago. I hope that will change- design houses or their corporate…

Milan Fashion Week SPring 2023 MFW SS23 Runway Trends, Womenswear, Menswear
Milan Fashion Week Spring 2023 Milan Fashion Week is more substantive than NYFW and LFW while covering the same trends and extending some from the Fall collections. With the exception of Bluemarine, I’d say it is still rather underwhelming and unremarkable. There isn’t anything from the looks I find to be stand-out among the mass-appeal…
London Fashion Week Spring 2023 LFW SS23, Runway Trends, Fashion Shows Menswear and Womenswear
Admittedly, London Fashion Week (LFW) has always been my least favorite of the fashion capitals- I have always felt like the silhouettes are often a bit grotesque and the proportions are far out. For London Fashion Week Spring 2023, it seems nothing’s changed in that regard- I have saved but twenty-nine photos from eight collections:…
Mens Fall 2022
Men’s Fall 2022 is the most exciting season for menswear since the dandy movement years ago– as menswear has remained unchanged for well over a century, it’s high time we have at least a fraction of the options our female counterparts have in fashion.

Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2022
Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2022 was seemingly a send-off to the late Virgil Abloh, with veiled caps and bucket-hats: Abloh’s designs sought to subvert fashion and its gender bias, as made evident by the kilts and men’s skirts. The standout looks and pieces from the collection include the Damier suit, aforementioned veiled hats, prints, signature chains,…
Balmain Ballets
Olivier Rousteing designed costumes for the Paris Opéra, and British Vogue gave us an amuse bouche- an expected sparkly embellished pair of tights paired with an ornate baroque jacket and draped sleeveless wrap top. I feel like the tights are the only thing that differentiate the look from just being something off the runway. Perhaps…
Nordstrom Haul: MAC Enchanted Eve, TopMan, Clinique…
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqY0_WNyAzw&w=560&h=315] My Nordstrom Haul: I bought a Top Man Hooded Knit Cape and Wide Brim Hat- getting ready for the Spring/Summer 2016 Boho Chic 70’s Trend; a Mac Enchanted Eve Mineralize Brush Set; Sole Society Fold-Over Tote Bag; and Clinique All About Eyes Concealer, which I bought to deal with puffiness as it works for both…
Rick Owens SS16: Fashion Comedy
How do you get attention for ugly clothes that lack design, taste, construction and execution value? You show penises, strap people to one another…it’s fashion slap-stick hunty bunty junior. Rick Owens is a joke.
