Seventies influences met with a western flair- layered contrasting colors and textures with knits, graphic tees, creepy faces photo prints, ascots, double breasted jackets, ski masks…there was a lot going on in the Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2017 collection.

Fendi Spring/Summer 2017

Laser cuts, stripes galore, intricately gorgeous bags, the Fendi Spring/Summer 2016 runway show was full of utilitarian pockets, voluminous sleeves, truly wearable takes on the PJ’s movement, and how Karl can anything be without shade(s)? There was something odd about those aprons…err- slip dress mutations, and I can only see them serving as a cover…

Fendi Couture FW16 Fall/Winter 2016

Romantic, feminine, with flowing embellished and embroidered dresses and coats seemingly inspired by Asian trends and mixed with story book illustrations, the Fendi Couture FW16 Fall/Winter 2016 collection was ornate and delicate, and rather graphic as well.  While I didn’t like the blue cape I loved the art nouveau illustrations on it. **Warning- Graphic description:  I…

Fendi Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear

Fendi Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear was a fifties flashback- polos, short sleeved button-ups, sweater vests, pants above the naval…  The bucket hats, ridiculously oversized bags, and arts and crafts prints are a bit much to take.  Puffer coat and jackets; striped shirts, bags, and jackets; relaxed and straight leg pants; leather and terry cloth, satiny sheen…

The bags and boots stole the…

Fendi SS16

The Fendi Spring/Summer 2016 Milan Fashion Week show was a seeming continuation of this Milanese librarian look?  I don’t know if in Milan librarian meets bishop sleeves and collars evokes the 70’s, but  the collection had this strange dichotomous tone of old and new running through it, which made sense when we saw the two…

Ethics in Beauty & Fashion

I found myself wondering, while washing my makeup brushes, are these Cruelty Free?  I’m so against fur I know I’ve never bought it, but could natural fiber brushes be a source I overlooked?        Ethics in fashion and beauty has, in recent times, been referred to as one of those topics with which, “where…

Betsey Johnson Rips Off Moschino & Fendi

      Betsey Johnson’s got some adorable inspired-by’s, taken from muses Moschino (Milk carton bag) and Fendi (bag bugs and those cute monster backpacks).  I honestly think her originals are more cute.
