If you read my post, A Platform for Platforms, you’ll know that platform shoes and sneakers have long been a staple of alternative style gurus of London, America, and Asia of course.

I (Black)Heart It All!
I honestly feel like I need everything on BlackHeart’s website…ok maybe not the women’s lingerie, but most of the ready to wear looks. Mesh and sheer hi-lo tops, wide brimmed and bowler hats…from the shag vest to the faux leather pants, I want to relive the 90’s in grunge and goth fabulosity. What I wouldn’t…

Karo Swim-Wear: Palm Beach Swim Week Runway Show
Karo Swim-wear, which presented at New York Fashion Week as well, is a Connecticut based art-to-swimwear line featuring glistening stone-embellishments and beautifully bold prints: from checkered, striped, or floral prints to subtler solid black and white or black and navy, there was a variety of looks sure to please different tastes, but each had eye-catching details….

A Platform for Platforms
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GeRw5hZrH0&w=560&h=315] Platforms have long been worn by those in alternative style categories, from Goth to Pastel Goth and even Kerli’s Klick- who go by the fan-nickname MoonChild. Japan apparently, as the video cites, has had them around for decades. I’m sure you’re familiar with Y.R.U. if you live in the states: I love…
Ways Fashion Trends Are Copying My Style
So, I dress pretty unusually, especially for a guy…but fashion’s trends seem to be replicating my personal style. Fishnet Cropped tops: I started wearing cut-off tees and tops with cut outs or sheer since I got my tattoo… Sheer Bondage gear and collars Androgyny 90’s trend with goth and punk inspirations. Are you noticing a…
Louis Vuitton SS16: Punky Town
Louis Vuitton SS16 collection took us to Punky Town with mesh, a variety of jump suits in solids and prints seemingly inspired by different types of jackets and collars, leather shorts and vests, cut-away-shoulders, and the cutest gloves clutching onto adorable small trunk bags. I love that our pink haired muse started the show, you…
Valentino SS16
Valentino SS16 was a hard story to follow: what started out with simple black dresses quickly transformed into what felt like flipping through a world history book. Roman and Greek influences, ethnic tribal, Incan princess: the Valentino Spring/Summer 2016 collection was rather confused and seemed like a cluttered stream of consciousness, as if one sketched…
Chanel SS16
Chanel’s target market is that granny who was actually alive during the time of Coco Chanel…she’s seen the roaring 20’s and the movement of the hemline from the ankle…oh my, to the vagina in modern times, but though she swing danced and snorted Coke with Warhol, she prefers to keep her style strictly to that…
