DIY Bold Hair Colors: Blue Hair (Or any color)
I bleached her hair using 30vol developer and L’Oréal Super Oreal Blanc Powder Bleach, then dyed using Color Jamz in Not So Shy Violet (I find it deposits color more boldly than Manic Panic). We broke up the color by creating an ombré effect, applying bleach higher up midway through the bleaching process. The…
Costello Tagliapietra Fall 2015
The Costello Tagliapietra Fall Winter 2015 collection did take part in the 70’s trend, however, some of the overall outfits looked a little like Woody from Toy Story. This woman is trying to be chic but knows nothing about fit, proportion, or silhouette. Speaking of proportion and silhouette, looks like the light purple draped dress…

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…
ZAC Zac Posen
Zac Posen, known for his gorgeous gowns, has seemingly watered down his designs for ZAC Zac Posen to the extent that they look like horrible dresses from the dust-bunny ridden back of the plus-size clearance section. Other than the jackets, there’s absolutely nothing memorable or outstanding about the collection.
Tess Giberson
It was wise to shoot the collection in front of huge prints, because it made the photos look picturesque. A black and white background, pale models in light creams and whites…the mop coat. There’s an elegance and androgyny to the layered looks which is reminiscent of Ann Demeulemeester’s collections. The sleeves ending in fingerless gloves…
Sachin & Babi
Kalidoscopic print knits and jackets, a sequin detailed mesh dress, and what looks like an itchy wool dress- seemingly as stiff as the mini skirts- stuck out of the Schin and Babi Fall Winter 2015 collection. Again, good and bad- my critique would be the fabric selection- some of the pieces looked very stiff, over designed, unedited:…
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. The asymmetrical velvet top was draped and cut uniquely, and created an illusion with the skirt matching the background. The evolution of his jackets, from the first looking more close to the 70’s…
