Moschino Takes To Cars For RTW Spring 2016 Inspiration
For Moschino’s RTW Spring 2016 collection, designer Jeremy Scott sought inspiration from cars, in different iterations. Including street caution signage, safeguard construction materials, the road, leading to a carwash, Scott managed to create a collection full of tasteful kitsch, as always.
Street caution signage was present in yellow + black tape, from a large bow sash across a tight fitting black dress to strappy high heeled sandals. A metal fence was present, as a print on a grey dress, pulled together by an orange + white bow sash.
Fluorescent greens + oranges were sprinkled throughout the collection. The orange with reflective material was an obvious nod to construction cones. At times however, orange + green were present as bands of color on a lace coat.
Of course, the most clever of them all were the car wash pieces, like the skirt + tall hat, that look very much like the brushes that clean the cars, paired with a silver corset. This car wash brush piece, made another appearance as a beautiful stole for a halter fish tail dress, emblazoned with retro car wash signage, complete with bubble illustrations. But no Moschino collection would be complete without amazing accessories, such as a construction hat with black netting, a DO NOT ENTER bag + even an inverted orange + white cone purse.
As usual, this Moschino RTW Spring 2016 collection once again, proved to be a great success.

Rose McGowan Pushes The Boundaries Of Beauty In New Video For ‘RM486’
When talking about her new video for track ‘RM486’ in an interview with NOWNESS, Rose McGowan said,
“Not only did I not fit in, I didn’t want to fit in,”, adding, “I believe in civil disruption. I also think it’s important for bodies to be represented in a non-sexual manner, especially women’s bodies,”
+ in this case her’s certainly is, making it that much more beautiful. From the start, drenched all in white, complete with long white talons, she assumes different personas throughout, one more outrageous than the next. The beauty of her echoed vocals padded with synth pop beats, just glaze over all the visuals, making the whole experience that much more.
Directed by Jonas Åkerlund + styled by Swedish B. Åkerlund, all I kept thinking about were the crazy looks club kids create out of nothing, resulting in pure genius, that one would normally see at Ladyfag‘s infamous Shade parties in Brooklyn.
Enjoy!

A ‘Modern-Day Urban Warrior’ Takes Over PFW 2015
Manish Arora is one of my favorite designers because of his relentless use of bold color, decoration + interesting silhouettes. But when he picked French photographer Charles Fréger, to shoot Arora’s guerrilla poster campaign featuring his Fall 2015 collection, his looks took on a whole new level. You see, Fréger’s expertise lies in his series of portraits of sportsmen + soldiers, which granted him the ability to perfectly capture the essence of the ‘modern-day urban warrior’.
Starring model Debra Shaw + styled by Joanna Schlenzka, Fréger had the perfect canvas to work with, able to incorporate his interesting poses + signature portrait style. With looks that focused on a lot of layering, different textures, a multitude of prints, many embellishments + a vast array of clever accessories, this campaign is sure to liven things up during Paris Fashion Week, which runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 7.
