Christian Dior Haute Couture- Spring 2010- Sharp as a Whip!

Horseback riding, Gibson girls, and vintage Charles James gowns gave John Galliano his inspiration for his couture show. I am a big fan of the horseback-riding look, all the way down to the riding crop.  I think it’s an elegant sport, and horses are just so majestic and gentle. So naturally, I loved this collection. If I had [...]

Givenchy Haute Couture- Spring 2010- Beautiful

I really liked this collection because it was really feminine, edgy and modern all at the same time. The purple dress in the second photo is just gorgeous! Reminds me of a more toned down Viktor & Rolf dress. The Mongolian lamb fur in the first photo looks so fluffy and soft…sort of like my [...]

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture-Spring 2010- Montezuma’s Revenge?

A Mexican theme ran through every vein of this collection. Sombreros? Check. Cigars? Check. Mariachi band? Check. All that was missing was tequila with a worm in it (nastiness!). As much as I want to love the collection because I really love Gaultier’s vision, I can’t. The collection wasn’t elegant enough to be passed off as a couture collection. [...]

For the ‘FUG in the Face’ couple….

Romanian designer Olah Gyarfas designed these ‘costumes’ under his label, Rozalb de Mura. This is his Spring 2010 collection that doesn’t utilize any zippers or buttons. Everything is tied together with strings, which emits  a hobo/ gypsy air to the overall look. What a pain in the ass to tie. Anyway,this reminds me of that awful horror movie [...]

I swear this a joke!

German (but, of course)  designer Patrick Mohr showed his Fall 2010 collection in Berlin and was clearly inspired by ‘roidy characters, clowns, bunnies, and the all-weather fabrics at Home Depot. Seriously, Pat must be ragged on so bad because of this ‘collection’.  Yeah, a ‘collection’ of sketchy characters. I tried to find more info on [...]

Dora Abodi-Spring 2010- Cuuuuute!

Designer Dora Abodi from Budapest showed her Spring 2010 collection in New York recently. I totally appreciate the quirky, fupeness mixed with a dash of cute. Any collection that utilizes my mantra color, pink, is on my hit list. (Not in a Soprano’s kind of hit, by the way.) Anyway, girly and avant-garde, Dora seriously needs [...]

Emma Bell Spring 2010- Wacky!

British designer, Emma Bell, has a taste for the avant-garde, sweet and silly… exactly how I like it , too! For her Spring 2010 collection, Emma focused on the boobies, the shoulders and Hansel and Gretel. Nothing wrong with that. Although, I do love her past collections featuring wolves and gingerbread people. I think what [...]

Hey, Hey ,Hey…..

SANS has revealed their Spring 2010 collection and have revealed they like the home drapery department of IKEA. Really, even a pregnant  lady would get lost in that. Fat Albert would love this , though. If you go on the SANS website and click through the past collections, you will see they have a taste [...]

Comme des Garçon -Spring 2010- Um , Yeah.

Okay. I know Comme des Garçon has fupe designs to begin with, so I’ve already factored that into my expectations. But, this looks like something I would’ve put together when was really bored in my dad’s closet…. when I was 9.  The only one I would wear without shame would be the first photo of [...]

Charles Anastase-Spring 2010- Odd and FUG

British designer, Charles Anastase, has an eye for the odd and dramatic. I consider myself a fashion daredevil and even I wouldn’t touch this collection. The sack dress is just that- a sack of potatoes… (mmmm, chips). I have a few ideas as to who would wear that sack dress: -A teenage girl from Idaho hoping [...]
