Flaminia Saccucci
Tuesday, June 14th, 2011
The Central Saint Martins BA graduate fashion show is never one to miss. Every year, it is chock-full of (freaking-amazing) collections by talented graduates. However, don’t let the designers' school connection fool you; their work is arguably on par with ...

Rodnik
Tuesday, May 24th, 2011
Many would say that, over the years, the fashion industry has slowly become confined to just that—an industry, that resembles a scientific method rather than a means of expressing creativity through clothing. It's become too rare to see bigger-than-life get-ups, ...

TAHIR SULTAN
Friday, July 23rd, 2010
As made evident in a great number of shows this season, one big trend for FW10 is the menswear look. It's not menswear in a literal, suit-and-tie sense, however; the look is more menswear-inspired; think structured suiting in heavy fabrics ...

BEDFORD STREET LAUNDRY
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
Bedford Street Laundry sounds more like a dry-cleaning business than the name of a newcomer's first clothing line—and designer Jessica Yuen wouldn't have it any other way. A reminder of her humble beginnings, the name is a tribute to her ...

Hardcouture
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010
Consisting of pretty, ruffled lace bandeaus; sheer black capes and better-than-basic below-the-knee skirts, every piece in LA-based Hardcouture's latest 13-piece collection exudes soft sensuality; innocent, yet sexy, I fell in love at first sight. Since her label's launch nearly four years ...

ANNE-SOPHIE MADSEN
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
We at Corridor40 have somewhat of an obsession with two European countries—Sweden and Denmark. So, it only made sense that, when I first came across these images from Anne-Sophie Madsen's Danish Design School graduate collection, I was blown away. A ...

Evil Essence: Rob Goodwin

JOSE DURAN SS10
Friday, April 2nd, 2010
I came across Dominican designer Jose Duran’s SS10 line the other day and, honestly, I was confused. I had no idea why I liked it so much; it wasn’t my style at all. It wasn’t black; it wasn’t leather; it ...

PICKING UP THE SLACK – GEMMA SLACK FW10
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
No matter how much I love all things leather, studded and black, even I get to the point of looking at a collection and rolling my eyes, thinking that this rebel thing is played-out. It’s dark; it’s mysterious; your models ...

Shop With Asian Stereotypes
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
One of my many daily go-to blogs, With Asian Stereotypes is where I get my high-end goth fashion fix. I can't get enough of the human bone-inspired heels, the skull-embellished clothes and the jewelery, heavy in upside-down crosses. Just seeing ...

STRAY ANGELS – ERRO FW10
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
There's nothing I love more than fashion or a label with substance—which explains why I'm such a fan of Erro, designed by Anna Larson; the Swedish designer has promised to donate a portion of her line's proceeds to stray animal ...

The Local Firm
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
The Local Firm, a Sweden-based line, should be the go-to for any stylist dressing "the badass kids in school" for a movie—that is, if the characters are supposed to have an amazing sense of fashion and the ability to put ...

WITH HEARTS IN MY EYES
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Recently I stumbled upon a line called BLAK, and I was transfixed. At first I was drawn into the collection because the model had a bun in all the images (I love a good bun), but then I realized how ...
