Shoe me Baby

If the glorious powers that be wanted me to be frugal and pay my rent then WHY oh WHY would they let these be created??"

I spotted them the other day at Le Bon Marche It's a cruel cruel world that would go and tempt me in this way....

Fantasizing Fall

Nearing the end of July I can now begin to get fall weather into my head. Although there is still much more summer fun to enjoy. Dries Van Noten seems to, in a way keep the good times of summer rollin' with the colorful palate in the fall show. I love how muted, deep and rich they are.

Royal Talents

Last week students from the Royal Academy of Antwerp showed their collections. The Alma Mater of the likes of Mr. Martin Margiela as well as Dries Van Noten. This year there is yet another talented bunch. Here are a few of my favorites!


Emilie Pirlot's "Mysterious Wonderland". Obviously inspired by Alice and her cast of characters. The concept is really quite beautiful.



Stephanie D'Hegere her collection titled "Humanimalus". Gritty, animalistic with hints of McQueen shoved in Gaultier's face. Love her sketches.


Juan Hernandez Daels a bit too futuristic "blade Runner- esque" for my taste but interesting and really talented none the less. He also has a slick site. Check out his "drawings" page.   Juan Hernandez Daels
