India served as inspiration for Jean Paul Gaultier this season. The jodhpurs and neutral colors remind me of Balenciaga’s fall collection (oh, and the turban makes a reappearance!). What makes this collection for me are the sari-inspired dresses toward the end of the show. They truly evoke India and the beauty I associate with that [...]

Again, one of my favorite fashion houses disappointing me! I know Mr. Paulo Melim Andersson is new to the house that Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Phoebe Philo built, but the repetition and just plain boring collection leaves much to be desired.

SHEER. Again. I love this trend, I really really do. It goes along with the whole innerwear as outerwear vibe. The other thoughts I had perusing the LV collection was: 1) MERMAIDS! because the sequined shirts and skirts are the colors of merpeople. And 2) Wow, this looks like this season’s Prada/last season’s Proenza Schouler/ETC. [...]

I have been having a lot of crazy dreams lately. Typically, I don’t remember dreams unless I am stressed out and have a lot on my plate. Such is the case recently. Well, last night I dreamt Anna Wintour was in Greensboro (ha, like that would EVER happen) and she paused to take a picture [...]
