Remember Luella?
Remember Luella? Designed by Luella Bartley, the brand lived on from 1999 to 2009. Luella signified a period of fun and carelessness in the fashion industry.
Remembering Kansai Yamamoto
Fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto passed away today at age 76. He designed extraordinary, eccentric pieces. You've probably seen his work on David Bowie.

Prada’s Chandelier Shoes
In the heart of Milan, Miuccia Prada presented her latest ingenious collection - spring/summer 2010. The most memorable standout? The chandelier studded shoes.
Remembering Meadham Kirchhoff
I fell in love with Meadham Kirchhoff after the fall 2010 collection debuted. The mix of goth princess and granny-chic styling made it an instant standout.
A Place to Be: Alice on Wednesday, Tokyo Japan
Alice on Wednesday is one of the most special shops in all of Harajuku. It's an Alice in Wonderland themed shop hidden in Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood.

In the 2010s, conventions were defied and the silhouettes, forms theories of the Balenciaga brand were just... achingly good. Enter Balenciaga Fall 2010.
Remembering Dior Spring 2009 Couture
Dior by John Galliano was an era unlike any other in fashion. And Dior's Spring 2009 Couture collection was absolutely no exception. Galliano went above.

Y/Project Fall 2020 Review – The Joy of Dressing Weirdly
A few months may have passed since the Fall 2020 shows were presented. I've since been reflecting on some of the top collections, and Y/Project Fall 2020 is definitely one of them.
Remembering Veruschka
Vera Gräfin von Lehndorff-Steinort (born in East Prussia 1939) was a popular model, artist, and actress known as Veruschka. The height to the Veruschka obsession occurred in the 1960s.
Ottolinger’s Elusive Silicone and Ceramic Bags
Ottolinger is one emerging Berlin-based fashion brand that I continually come back to. The label mixes the art of deconstruction with craftiness. Patched-together knits with raw unraveling ends, abstract homespun acid washes, and tie-dyes are all part of the label's intrinsic DNA, but perhaps the most unique pieces from Ottolinger are the bags made out of silicone and ceramics.
Remembering Junya Watanabe Spring/Summer 2009
When it comes to Japanese designer Junya Watanabe's groundbreaking shows, to remember, Spring/Summer 2009 is definitely one that stays in our minds.
Schiaperelli’s Jewelry by Daniel Roseberry
When it comes to the modern Schiaparelli brand, the jewelry is completely unparalleled. Designed by Daniel Roseberry, it touches on surrealism, humor, elegance and wit. Glasses rendered in sculpted brass, golden earrings shaped like the actual ear, gleaming eyeballs and pearl teeth with crystal cavities - what more could you ask for?
A Look Back at Pierre Cardin’s Empire
Born in Italy in 1922, Pierre Cardin later moved to France to study architecture. He subsequently worked with Elsa Schiaparelli and eventually became the head of Christian Dior's tailleure atelier in 1947.

Marchesa Casati; unexpected style icon. The infamous and eccentric Italian heiress, muse, and patroness of the arts in early 20th century Europe.
Review: Martin Margiela: In His Own Words + How to Watch It In the U.S.
Margiela's departure from his historic label, the film shows unprecedented footage and details from some of the most legendary shows. If you're wondering, it's much, much, much better than the snore-fest of the Dries documentary by the same director/producer Reiner Holzemer.
Remembering Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010
Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010 was by far one of the most iconic shows Miu Miu has ever done, at least in our opinion. It was like some kind of exotic remote control goddess putting all the things we love in a colored glass bottle.
