Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair

No, I’m not talking about that cobbler with a closet for a store that smells like feet and leather. I’m talking about Swedish fashion house Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair. They design pretty laid back clothes, but their couture collection, “By the No” (I have no idea what that means, I was lost at Fifth Avenue [...]

Iris Van Herpen x United Nude

United Nude and Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen have teamed up for these unusual shoes that sort of remind me of those Alexander McQueen shoes that look like lobster claws. They match her Fall 2010 collection of dresses made of looped fringe and what looks to be metallic leather. Don’t quote me on that. Actually never [...]

Valentino – Haute Couture- Fall 2010- Pretty…

For me, Valentino always seemed to be clothes for a lady of a certain age, but this collection proved that wrong. Dainty and feminine, each dress was beautiful and elegant with a touch of avant guard- just the way I like it. My favorites have to be the birdcage dress and the fourth dress. Of [...]

Patrick Mohr-Fall 2010- Bald, pale and bearded

German designerPatrick Mohr vomited out another collection worthy of the ‘WTF?’ label. I mean, this is pretty minimalistic compared to his last show. He might as well had his model call at the meth clinic next to the Port Authority on 8th Ave. Seriously, I’ve come across folks looking like this in the wee hours [...]

Chanel-Haute Couture Fall 2010- Lions and Tigers and FUG, oh my!

Already a few blogs, including James St. James, has called Chanel’s Haute Couture Fall 2010 show ‘frumpy’. I totally agree. It’s awkward, dowdy and to put plainly, FUG. The only outfit that has a chance with me is the last photo of the blue and gold dress, although even that looks like a table runner [...]

I only posted these because of the cats.

Sretsis‘s Fall 2010 collection was completely inspired by the porcelain figurine manufacturer, Lladro. Lladro usually is one of those dust collectors sitting on the mantle of your crazy Aunt Lovey’s sitting room. She makes everyone look at the Lladro figurines instead of Jerry Springer during afternoon tea. She may have more than 3 cats and [...]

Karishma Shahani- Fall 2010- A Colorful Tribe

Karishma Shahani’s Fall 2010 collection is wonderfully colorful and with beautiful tribal accents of layering. This is something I would wear! It sort of reminds me of a cross between Jean Paul Gaultier, Fam Irvoll and George Clinton (?). Anyway, it is always lovely to see someone use color like this! I think my favorite is [...]

Jean Paul Gaultier- Fall 2010- An ethnic-inspired collection

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2010 collection had his usual ethnic vibe. This time it was Mexican, Russian, Greek, and Moroccan madness all rolled up in one. Basically, it was his vision of the DMV or maybe he ate all the restaurants on 9th and 43rd  area in NYC and barfed this collection up. Anyway, I’m [...]

Chanel Plexiglass Briefcase

Not sure if this is just a prototype, but Chanel showed this plexiglass briefcase during their Fall 2010 shows. I really love this, except what do you do if you have to hide tampons or pads? Or what if you’re an office clepto and swipe a stapler or two from the office? What if you [...]

Christian Dior-Fall 2010- Horseback Riding!

Galliano has done it again! I love horses and horseback riding and stuff and this collection totally reflects on the old-timey times of horseback riding. Let me put it more eloquently and not like I’m smacking gum bubbles (it’s cherry flavored) while twirling my hair. Galliano delivers a classic clean collection with feminine frocks and [...]
