Dior, Not War.
All the more reason to go crazy over Rad Hournai’s Spring 2010 collection, here’s some proof that his most recent work is entirely versatile! I was lucky enough to attend Hournai’s show at Milk Studios this past Fashion Week, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who left wondering
I’ve been looking for the next clever accessory, and I think I may have found it in this awesome, 100% leather prize ribbon brooch! Complete with a gunmetal fastening pin, I love how what used to be a charming little ribbon is morphed into an edgy, leather conversation piece. No

Anticipation runs high as us fashionistas wait for the release of “The Book,” a coffee table book that goes inside the design and construction process of all the goodies at Maison Martin Margiela. Published by Rizzoli New York, the book runs for $100 and is due out at the end
It seems to me that Guido Palau was lacking inspiration when it came to hair-styling for the Spring 2010 shows. A braid is a pretty common hairstyle, but for Palau to style messy braids for both Alexander Wang and Miu Miu is pretty lazy. The only difference between the styles

Ladies and gentlemen, we may have reached a new milestone in the world of accessories! Models in the Chanel Spring 2010 show sported a mish-mosh of rub on bracelet tattoos. For those of you who aren’t so fond of getting a permanent tattoo, this may be a new alternative to
Corey recently posted this incredible video featuring one of my favorite models, Ash Stymest, for Metal Magazine’s 17th issue. Here are a few stills from the shoot…enjoy!:
Ponchos are back, and they come much cooler than this dark and eerie tabard from Complex Geometries! Complete with an oversized hood that doubles as a cowl neck, this boiled wool poncho is perfect for layering and comes lined to combat even the coldest of days!

The future of Yohji Yamamoto is undoubtedly bleak. The Japanese designer recently filed for bankruptcy protection due to his $76 million debts. But there is hope; an investor offered to bail Yamamoto out and get this man back on his feet. The only question is, will Yamamoto be too proud
Tennis is not my strong-suit, but it looks like it is Jean Paul Gaultier’s! Focusing on the preppy sport for the Hermès Spring 2010 collection, Gaultier showed several tennis tees and skirts that evolved into dresses, cardigans and flowing jacks and suits. Gaultier even threw in some leather , but
With the precision of menswear under his belt, Tim Hamilton’s Spring 2010 collection was basically masculine with just enough skin to sneak in a sexy, feminine flare. Hamilton kept the color palate simple with black, white and red, allowing the collection’s variety to seem endless. High-waisted, winged pants, oversized cardigans,
Branching nicely from her Fall 2009 collection, Hannah MacGibbon brought us some more relaxed, masculine, natural pieces for the Spring season. With a copious array of beige, khaki and cream colored dresses, trousers, suit coats and capes, the Spring 2010 collection aired on the side of casual, English countryside, with
Miuccia Prada had it raining cats and dogs (and birds!) at her Miu Miu Spring 2010 show in Paris. Prints were in full effect throughout the collection, decorating several high-waisted pantsuits, severe collared button ups, cropped jackets and pencil skirts. Some pieces ever aired on the revealing side, allowing sneak
Inspired by the craziness that is Los Angeles, John Galliano’s Spring 2010 collection was all things symbolic of the City of Angels (although the red lazer lit runway looked more like devil!). As per usual, looks were over the top, clashing, somewhat gaudy and styled to the max- an obvious
Kris Van Assche’s Spring 2010 collection was nothing more than a few beautifully tailored blazers, oversized blouses, a-line dresses, trousers, band tops and high waisted skirts. Minimalism was the name of this designer’s game, but while garments remained simple, the leather shoes and belts made for enviable items. Totally loving
Excuse me for my 90’s references, but Hussein Chalayan’s Spring 2010 collection reminded me of sexy and sinister Jessica Rabbit (from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”). Blame it on those oversized, shadowy sun hats, but the whole collection screams evasive class. Cut-out suits complimented see through skirts and shorts, bringing a
If I had to summarize Ennio Capasa’s Costume National Spring 2010 collection in 3 words, they would be skimpy, shimmery and ghastly. To say that runway radiated death would most assuredly be a negative comment in Capasa’s book, but according to me, the pale sheen against raw skin has a
Dries Van Noten went a little retrograde on us this season, settling for his safe, signature ethnic patterns and pieces that are sure to sell out amongst his following customers. Khaki pants and shorts, wrapped psychedelic skirts, sparkled and sequined jackets and relaxed linens comprised the majority of Van Noten’s
It looks like someone paid attention in geometry class! Riccardo Tisci sent a range of Roman/Arabic inspired, geometrically appealing pieces down the runway for the Givenchy Spring 2010 collection. Hard edges are nothing new for the label, but making bold, zig-zags and subtle optical illusions pleasing is no easy task;
Destroyed, androgynous, matronly, night-gown inspired biker chic? Huh, well, it seems to me that Yohji Yamamoto had several bases to cover for his Spring 2010 collection. That being said, the biker pieces were safe, the shredded pyjamas, probably unwearable, and the matronly maids outfits just downright ugly. As for the
I’m getting pretty sick of seeing every guy wearing Converse sneakers, so here is a great alternative to the classic high top sneakers. These awesome Oak kicks have the same vibe as Converse but in leather and suede with an awesome heel zipper detail. Sure, they’re not as cheap as
John Galliano travelled back in time to the 1940’s for his Spring 2010 collection, bringing some modern versions of mini trench coats and a hell-of- a lot of lingerie inspired pieces. Things remained pretty true to the Dior house, sexy while keeping classy and affluent. I can’t say there’s anything
