Marchesa Spring/Summer 2018 was glamorous, chic, sexy- form fitting dresses with plunging necklines and carefully placed strands of pearls left just the right amount to the imagination. Draped bodices oozed spring with cascading floral appliques and embroidery which flowed into the full skirts of tulle, chiffon, silk taffeta and charmeuse, and lace. Fringe and ostrich…

Prabal Gurung Spring/Summer 2018 SS18
Structured, fitted, boned and corsetted garments contrasted flowing romantic frilly ruffled tops, as patent leather and leather juxtaposed chiffon and silk at Prabal Gurung’s Spring/Summer 2018 runway show. White, black, poppy pink, cerulean, wine, plum, taupe, blue, green, yellow, and bold strawberry pink composed the color palette. Ruffles and frills met with button embellishments; puff…
Fenty X Puma Spring/Summer 2018 SS18
Barbie met Tomb Raider in Fenty X Puma’s Spring/Summer 2018 runway show. The collection played on athleisure with a retro take on athleticwear: wind-breakers, track suits and shorts layered over cycling shorts, neoprine and diving suits turned catsuits, trendy off the shoulder dresses with long sleeves. The bad looks included the unflattering monokini- a maxi…

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…
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.

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…

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…
