1920′s fashion is the stuff my 16-year-old (fashion) dreams were made of: feathers, glitter, beads, short skirts and sleek silhouettes. Many of this spring’s collections pay homage to the era and no one does it better than Ralph. I love these pictures from bohemenoir, backstage at the SS12 show.

Headed out the door, but thought you’d like this piece created by Kyla McCallum. The skirt holds 67 books with a total of 20,000 pages, each one folded by hand…. Her site has lots of other cool projects too… check it out!

Stop by all this week for live LFW coverage…

Today some of my favorites will be presenting including: David Koma, Holly Fulton, Ashish and Ozwald Boateng…  also be sure to browse through all the shows from past dates, available on-demand.
One note about the player, once you hit “play” it takes a couple seconds to get the feed going… it kind of runs through once with a blank screen and then loads after a few seconds. Good things come to those who wait (a few seconds). Meanwhile, enjoy some highlights from the past week:

I have written about Iris van Herpen in the past because I just adore her cutting edge looks. Her latest collection was recently featured on TrendyGirl and you can download the lookbook from her site. I know, I know, completely unwearable unless you’re lady gaga… but a good way to start your week nonetheless. Think of it as a little reminder to push the envelope a bit!

I love Louise Gray’s playful/wearable designs!
