At the top of my spring shoe wish list!! I have a great liking of beetles, and the shiny, metallic-y pumps, with their amazing metal heels, are just the shiny exoskeleton I need for my feet.

So, animal prints are cool and all, but I’ve actually always had more of a thing for “things printed with animals”. My raccoon-print Keds flats still make me smile, I love my Christopher Kane for Topshop crocodile dress (ubiquitous as it is), and, thanks in part to Ann Demeulmeester, I’m now on a bird-print kick. [...]

I seem to be on a sort of animal-dressing binge. First, it was feathers, which I still haven’t gotten over. Then I moved onto more furry animals. And now, Alexander McQueen and Proenza Schouler’s great, sea-creature-like collections have me head over heels in love with vividly bright reptile and fish prints. I may tend towards [...]

I had been drawing tribal-ish linear patterns on my friend’s table with Sharpie a few days ago, and this latest [...]

Somehow, when I think about Alexander Wang, I keep thinking that he’s the next Marc Jacobs. He keeps changing and growing, but he always manages to maintain his core identity. He never stops pushing himself to try new ideas, but he knows not to abandon what works. Just when I was getting really tired of [...]

Oh, fashion week. We all (happily) get to see the shows hours after they happen, even if we’re stuck in a very ugly, undecorated coop room with no bed. Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai, the uber-cool designers behind Vena Cava, say that they “think that the studded, ripped, shaved, distressed look that’s been really popular [...]
