Here’s the Autumn 2016 RTW collection by Onitsuka Tiger x Andrea Pompillio. It’s a little sad that Tokyo fashion week has been ignored by Vogue. Not that Vogue is the be all end all of fashion, but you would think that a publication that is a staple of the industry that they would cover all the fashion week … More Onitsuka Tiger x Andrea Pompillio
Meadham Kirchhoff’s last runway show was for Spring 2015. The design duo made up of Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff called it quits after struggling with debt. Despite the short run of the label, Meadham Kirchhoff left an imprint on the fashion industry. Their shows could be dark and monochromatic or bright and whimsy. One … More Take you back Tuesday: Meadham Kirchhoff
By far one of the most misunderstood collections of the 90s is the Perry Ellis RTW line for Spring 1993. Marc Jacobs was trying to speak to the angst of the generation. Inspired by Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Marc tried to bring the grunge look to the fashion world and mainstream. The ill-reception of the … More Throwback Thursday: Runway Edition

I like things that aren’t so pristine; I find that things that are too “put together” give me an uneasiness. Maybe this is why I gravitated towards … More No. 21
Marc Jacobs was the first designer to captivate me when I was in junior high. I remember the first time I saw one of his dresses (Lindsey Lohan wore it in a spread for Teen Vogue in 2005) and decided that this look is what fashion is all about. His RTW Fall 2016 reignited that spark … More Marc Jacobs RTW Fall 2016
I’ve been anxiously awaiting the Anna Sui collection. She’s been one of my favorite designers since I became interested in fashion. I love her because her collections are always consistent with who she is and what her brand means. I look at the ensembles and automatically have a sense of the story behind the person … More Anna Sui RTW Fall 2016
The collection, which is full of colors, characters, and teased hair, is hard to overlook. The collection is the epitome of Barbie and Ken in the 1980s and 1990s (or at least how my Barbie and Ken dolls were dressed). The 15 year old version of me is dying to have every piece of this … More Jeremy Scott RTW Fall 2016
This collection reminded me of why I love fashion. The show took place at the Palladium in California. The front row was packed with musicians like Courtney Love (Hole), Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), and Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth). The collection was a throwback to the 1970s with midi dresses, culottes, and Ziggy Stardust-esque looks. The show also … More Saint Laurent Fall 2016
