Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 RTW
Only Marc could make me think of a classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s scene AND a garbage bag while somehow making it all look cool.
Christopher Kane Spring 2012 RTW
At first I wanted to like this look for its bright floral appliqués and ghostly sheer fabric (four layers of 70% aluminum organza, according to style.com), but my amorous thoughts were instantly shattered by the sight of the heinous footwear. These so-called “pool shoes” were worn by every model throughout the show giving each beautiful young woman legs that look like an 80-year-old man walking on a beach… ew.
Balenciaga Spring 2012 RTW
If I had to wear an outfit that looked like it was made by a first-year fashion design student who purchases fabric at Michael’s, I would want to cover my eyes too. But really, does the hat have to look like it came straight out of the Space Balls costume department?
At least Nicolas Ghesquière didn’t make the models wear poker visors again.
D&G Spring 2012 RTW
I’m pretty sure this is how Minnie Mouse would look if she dressed like a gypsy for Halloween.
Rodarte Spring 2012 RTW
Ok, I can admit this required little creativity, but it was just too spot-on for me to pass up.
Thom Browne Spring 2012 RTW
Maybe I’m not the only one who has a strange love for Richie Tenenbaum and those dancing air balloons they put outside of car dealerships.
Thom Browne Spring 2012 RTW
Oh Thom, you silly designer. Your kooky presentation makes creating these too easy for me.
Diesel Black Gold Spring 2012 RTW
One is an influential alternative rock band from the ‘90’s; the other is an English singer-songwriter with decades of hit singles and an affinity for tinted glasses. Together, The Smashing Pumpkins and Elton John make one hell of a spring ensemble.
Once upon a time, in a land before Fashion’s Night Out existed and Tavi Gevinson had blue hair, a small blog called The Pop Couture was born. After two years of covering a hodgepodge of style and pop culture news, the independently run site became obsolete, only to be resurrected many months later as the Tumblr page you see now.
This time the site will only feature a little something I like to call Fashion Formulas, which I hope will amuse you as much as making them amuses me.
And now, without further ado, I bring you The Pop Couture: version 2.0.
