The Fabbies!!

Hey Indies,

Our wonderful site has been nominated for the 2008 Fabbies (Fashion Blog Awards).

We are up against 15 other sites in the Indie & Niche category, but we all know we’re the best, so go vote (it’s on www.fabbie.org).

If we don’t win, Daniel will never show his face again and we would hate for that, so do it!

Designer Discovery: Iris Van Herpen

Of all those shown at this years Amsterdam fashion week, one collection no one will soon forget was that of , with it’s textured and sculpted pieces and dramatic hair and makeup. Made from materials like leather, iron, brass, chains and ‘hair’, the clothing, though not exactly wearable (where do you wear a black leather minidress with large gold brass wings?), was stunning and unlike anything else.

More art then fashion, models walked down the runway in black, navy, white, gold and steel creating a serious, underground club feel. My favorite look was a butterfly dress with silver chains and patchwork leggings, that although not very functional, provided in beauty what it lacked in coverage.
