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…

Salvatore Ferragamo SS16

Salvatore Ferragamo has set out to redefine its brand as a fashion house, seeking to expand beyond its market position of leather goods– shoes and bags, belts and wallets are what we thing of when we hear Ferragamo.  Has the brand truly shown us fashion in the seasons that have passed since it announced that…

Marni SS16

Marni’s SS16 collection was remiss of fashion and design…the butcher aprons, the shapeless voluminous looks which seem to prove the female form couldn’t be appropriately blocked by these “designers.”  It’s funny to see materials and elements used by other designers in a cool refreshing way seem so out of touch here.  Marni is a fashion…

Moschino SS16: Taking Names!

Moschino SS16 was another fun show proving Jeremy Scott is a genius!  The expectation for cuteness overload was met honey! The show started off in a construction traffic jam: traffic cone, hard hat, tool box, and sign bags, dresses and separates with yellow and white and orange and white caution stripes…the thigh high boots were…

Costume National SS16

Costume National SS16 was confusingly dichotomous, as was Fendi.  How can one collection be original, fashion-forward, and at the same time bland? The notch-lapel detail on the little black dress and original cut-away of the shoulders on the blazers were unique and interesting (I don’t like the shoulder detail, but it’s original nonetheless).  The sheer…

Emilio Pucci SS16

Emilio Pucci lost it for SS16: the feminine silhouettes and gorgeous original prints have given way to ho-boh-no-you-didn’t rags, DIY patches atop net, and an overall atrocious ghastly collection.

More Ugly London Fashion Week Looks

London “Fashion” is anything but stylish.  With designers showing truly hideous designs proving a lack of understanding of design principles, nor an understanding of the female form or how to use darts to give it shape.  For that I say Fuck You London, your self-proclaimed bravery with fashion in style is a fallacy proven by…

London Fashion Week: It’s Bad

I now define London as fashion hell.  London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016 has turned out the worst fashions we’ve seen…ever! Proportions that make even models look deformed or like little people.  There seems to be a lack of understanding of design principles, and a disregard for aesthetic and the human form.  While Londoners are self-proclaimed…

Laughable: MM6 Maison Margiela

What can we expect from the creators of the before-pants fit only for Spongebob Squarepants? Nothing!  MM6 Maison Margiela is yet another laughing stock and sorry excuse for a collection.  Dude looks like a lady, and lady looks frumpy as fuck…this isn’t cool chic androgyny, but rather ugly sorry excuses for fashion.  I truly hate…

Issa SS16

This is the most modern cut-away-shoulder we’ve seen yet.       Mad for mod: love these two shift dresses.    How to make tie-dye fab? This ornate take on the otherwise frumptastic look is the only way!    Even the caftan was modernized by making it a hi-lo: loving this collection- it is the way to…
