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…

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. It’s about time menswear shed the basic-bitch mold it cast itself…

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,…

Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2021

Bibhu Mohapatra Spring/Summer 2021 collection remains true to the designer’s aesthetic- timeless, glamorous, perfectly executed and constructed garments which still manage to be unique and original without looking over-designed or forced. The chartreuse criss-cross gathered leg-of-mutton sleeved bodice and open-weave-skirt dress, chartreuse-yellow pleated tulle peplum skirt and black satin gathered asymmetrical top, chartreuse mini dress,…

Shirr-Perfection: Polina Gorkovenko Spring 2021

Polina Gorkovenko’s Spring 2021 collection was shirr-perfection- the effect of fabric manipulation using shirring allowed for the same technique to invoke different effects from gathers and ruffles to pleats which evoke entirely different styles from the almost Elizabethan effect on the multicolored dress to the more understated gathering on the Afghan. The cropped jacket, of…

Private Policy Spring 2021

Private Policy’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection was a well executed, perfectly edited and cohesive yet still design-playful collection in its exploration of fashion when met with color palette, graphic prints, utility and wearability: beyond the now common utilitarian pockets- straps, buttons, and harnesses allow the garments to be worn and carried in a more versatile way….

Crimes of Fashion Victims: Political RED Carpet “Statements”

Someone needs to gift this clowns with Michaels and Joanne’s gift cards. The best part is, they’re black and gay! How blind, misguided, and misinformed are these fashion victims? Trump and republicans want nothing to do with anyone who’s not white, rich, straight… you have to be traitor to women or to the LGBTQ community…

NIHL: (Porno)Graphic T-Shirt Publicity Stunt

(Porno)Graphic T-shirts I try not to discuss designers and collections who use publicity stunts on the runway to force the penned hands of the press…but it’s not every day porn walks down the runway. NIHL actually sent censored pornographic T-shirt’s down the catwalk. Other features of the menswear collection featured circular cutouts, zippers which coiled…
