King Kong Fashion Is My New Trash

I am not sure I have the figure to carry off the designs but that does not stop be coveting this range of King Kong inspired fashion by South Africa label Trash.

Stolen Girlfriends Club Anatomical Vibe

 

With Eat Your Heart Out this year being 100% anatomically themed I have started checking out some pretty awesome anatomically designed fashion online. Anatomical fashion being one of those things which is really hard to carry off and generally I find it to be too A Level art student in vibe. It’s even harder to buy, with the only stand out pieces I want to wear being out of reach expensive items such as the spine heels from D Squared, almost everything Kemit Tesero designs or the incredible John Gaultier skeleton corset.

Anyway on one of my recent Pinterest x Google image search quests I discovered Secret Girlfriends Club whose recent anatomical fashions are spot on. Let’s not kid ourselves that it IS expensive but in relation to they Gaultier corset it’s positively Primark prices. I have shared one of my favourites from their collection below.

 

 

 

 

 

PS: I love the skull print – does anyone know if the fabric designer / artist is in house?

We Are Handsome – Fenton Dress

Really liking the new collection from We Are Handsome, especially the Benton / Fenton dress (on the right) as I am calling it.

 

 

No idea what the Benton / Fenton thing is – then here you go. I have no idea why millions, including myself, are finding it funny we just are!

Rodarte goes arty

So even non followers of fashion will have no difficulty spotting the inspiration for Rodarte Spring 2012 – OMG I want them all. Of course if fashion is not your thing then what about similarly inspired wedding cakes.

The Steve Dress

I don’t have a ‘signature style’ but that said I do wear Black Milk about 80% of the time and this beast of dress should be winging it’s way over to me from Australia (along with a lot of other things = painful for my bank balance). It shows Steve Buscemi (of course you know who he is think “ The Big Lebowski) and is only available online shop Black Milk Clothing for $ 100.

 

 

 

 

 

Meat Dress

I know I have tweeted this but for the life of me can’t remember who designed it – if you do know let me know too please! (source: buzzfeed)

Heavy Metal Corsets

I have previously posted about their cake range of corsets but these Mayan Hansen ‘Heavy Metal’ range of corsets and dresses feature the likes of ‘Kiss’, ‘Slayer’, ‘Misfits’, ‘Iron Maiden’ and ‘Metallica’ – and therefore ROCK, literally!

I know this is not massively innovative but I think these are not tacky (unlike those sold for a million pounds on clothing stands at Sonisphere) – which is new for metal band inspired corsetry to me anyway. Amazing stuff I want to get my hands on (in kooky for EYHO reasons, not I will ever wear this in normal circumstances way).
