Brass Knuckle Rings ~ Chanel, McQueen, Van Cleef & more
Originally posted April 2010 Since fall we've been seeing the turn to the brass knuckle ring. An interesting way to combine fashion with anger, fear, and possibly rage. I myself decided to arm up for spring with a trip to F21 which cost me $3.80 for the ring, $3.00 for parking, some change for tax and $42.00 for take out at the Luxe on the way out. I HATE the Beverly Center. Someone please punch me in the face with some real brass knuckles if you see me headed there again soon. *Please [...]

While I have been to most all award shows, I'd LOVE to go to the CFDA Awards... and obvi so would Tavi (Yes, we are now on a first name basis). "I am not normally one for red carpet dressing (other than the CFDA gala)... "- Tavi, Oscar the grouch post The Oscars of Fashion: The CFDA's annual awards ceremony, which honors excellence in fashion design, is often called "the Oscars of fashion." Nominations are submitted by CFDA members and by select fashion publications, retailers, and [...]
Final collection + video// Alexander “Lee” McQueen’s final collection was fit for a (mc)Queen
Tuesday March 9th, small groups of editors gathered at a salon in Paris to view the last collection of Lee Alexander McQueen. There will never be another show like this ever again....yes, they can find a new designer for the Alexander McQueen brand, but there will never be another Alexander McQueen. McQueen used inspiration from artists like Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes, Sandro Boticelli, and Jean Fouquet the way that people will use him as inspiration. A lot of these dresses also [...]

Betsey Johnson loves robin hood, gypsies, and saloon madames!
With Betsey Johnson showing at fashion week, its a total given for the show to be cool and interesting. I have loved Betsey Johnson my whole life, because she has always been eccentric and cool, especially during a time where designers were so boring. I have always admired her sexy punky attitude.. She reminds me of Patricia Field and Vivienne Westwood. My favorite thing about Betsey Johnson's line (since the age of like 10) has always been the kick ass party dresses in all different [...]
R.I.P Alexander McQueen!! Fashion celebs tweet their remorse + Avatar relation?
The world lost its most creative and interesting designer, Lee McQueen, aka Alexander McQueen. Alexander was the most creative, talented, genius, and edgy designer that had the craziest presentations out there, but everything came together and was beautiful, opposed to Gareth Pugh who just doesn't make sense to me. EVERY show that Alex was involved with was a piece of ART, and those of you who witnessed his magic should feel very blessed. I can't fathom Isabella Blow, Alex's mentor [...]

En Vogue: Miniature models of things you can’t have. 13 year old fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson models Lee McQueen alien boots out of playdo for art class in school
Think Second Life in real life - if you can't afford, craft it out of yarn, playdo or Adobe Illustrator.

In case you don't yet know Tavi - this is her brief timeline: December 2008: Tavi posts a video of herself rapping about her love for Rei Kawakubo and the new Comme des Garçons collection for H&M.
