Jane Sterling's Futuristic princess/"Dinner with a side of LSD trip" outfit on the April 22 episode of Mad Men. The glitter mid-drift cut-out and color palette is reminiscent of Marc Jacobs' Spring 2010 collection. Too much, and too good.

After 34 years of wild-child fashion, Betsey Johnson has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. She will reportedly still be designing sportswear for the Steve Madden line. Sure, designers such as Jeremy Scott, Meadham Kirchoff, and Jean-charles de Castelbajac will continue to use color and pop culture iconography in fashion, but there is only one Betsey Johnson.

The Fall 2012 Alexander McQueen collection behind the scenes video with DAZED which Stylite referred to as "fashion porn", and I agree. Also, the very interesting spread in May 2012 VOGUE, "Jewel in the Crown" which focuses on the headpieces/art created by Julien d'Ys.

These are few of my favorite things...right now! (April 2012)

April 20, 2012

Jessica Chastain for NY Times Style Summer 2012 Issue.

That hair, the classic Balenciaga neon animal prints, those red lips. Not to mention that she was one of the most stunning at the Oscars this year in Alexander McQueen (what looks like a custom mix from Resort 12 and the original color palette used in McQueen last collection for Fall 11).

The explosive fashion of ABC's "GCB" this past week in which Marisol Nichols' character wore Mary Katrantzou to play rehearsal of a conservative Texan church - proving that those prints can work ANYWHERE.

Giorgio Armani's outfit sketches for Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball...!

Music in my head:

"Youth" - Foxes

"Young Adult" - Voltaire Twins

"Lady" - Chromatics
