So I’m going to do what I never do, break down my top collections from L’Oreal Fashion Week Spring 2009. This is of course based on the shows I attended. These are the collections that moved me the most. The collections that made me thank god for attending the tents that night. [...] Read more »

Lucian Matis put on one of the more interesting shows at L’Oreal Fashion Week. I really enjoyed his pixelated print pieces. Some of the pearl encrusted pieces were very nice, especially the one with the back detail but a few felt a little over done. I wasn’t a big fan of [...] Read more »

Damzels in this Dress and Play Dead Cult always put on a fun show. Their models have energy and they play to the camera.

Damzels went into the print business and their 50s rockabilly sensibilities got a new twist. They also rocked up the negligee.

Rudsak listened to my advice and I think they edited the collection down, it’s usually a long death march of leather in every style and colour. I enjoyed this season. The cropped motorcycle jackets are damn cute. Please note, the leather pants and shorts are just styling props. The pants are [...] Read more »

Zoran Dobric is an amazing print maker. I love his prints and this season is no different. This season was based on the book Orlando by Virginia Woolf. I haven’t read it and didn’t have a frame of reference for the interpretation. Come to think of it, I haven’t read any [...] Read more »

I posted about my lust for Hermes scarves way, way back in 2006 and I’ve decided to revisit that. The Fall Winter 2008 - 2009 collection is influenced by India and there are lot of elephant motives everywhere. My Mom would be dying, she loves elephants.

I’ve reposted the history [...] Read more »
