presenting the original vampire, count motherfucking dracula. unlike other vampires i might mention, he doesn’t sparkle. he doesn’t hate werewolves, he commands them. he can shape shift into anything and change the weather. he lives with three vampire brides in his castle and wants to take over the world.
don’t mess with count dracula, he’ll bite you. in all seriousness, i’m begging you to read the original by bram stoker…it’s so damn good.

after the last couture season, i started seeing parallels between pokemon and some of the pieces on the runway-check the post. the resemblances were pretty striking, particularly the givenchy jigglypuff ensemble. anyway, now that fall 2010 couture has ended i present to you the pokemon couture.
couture, i choose you!
1: givenchy and mewtwo: pretty much all of givenchy reminded me of mewtwo and mew. the bone detailing and silhouettes scream legendary and scientifically bred pokemon.
2: valentino and gastly: i hate the ghost pokemon but the tulle layer over this dress reminded me of gastly right away. the model’s eyes look similar to his too. wierd.
3: elie saab and charizard: the bat wing sleeves and print made this an easy choice. charizarrrrddd
4: chanel and bulbasaur: karl lagerfeld skinned an ivysaur and made a dress. boom.
5: christian dior and vileplume: the floral collection galliano sent out had plenty of pokemon references (particularly grass pokemon, duh) but this violet and magenta number shouted vileplume like none other.
till next couture season.
sidenote: i stick with the original 151 pokemon, old school.
so after bellatrix and fleur last week, i got tons of requests for luna lovegood. quite simply, luna is awesome. a little odd, sure, but everybody knows the odd ones from school turn out to be out of control awesome. so read your quibbler, look out for the nargles and get on the luna train. luna!
1: quibbler? quibbler anyone?: top by tory burch, shorts by chris benz, shoes by moschino
2: it’s to keep away the nargles: dress by stella mccartney, shoes by givenchy, bag by proenza schouler
3: off to slughorn’s party: coat by christian dior, dress by marc jacobs, shoes by balenciaga

seriously, who doesn’t love bellatrix lestrange? she’s too crazy not to like even if she killed sirius black and tonks. also, who could forget the battle of hogwarts when mrs. weasley screams, “get away from my daughter you BITCH!” amazing. she’s voldemort’s most loyal servant, a devoted death eater, an azkaban alumni and bat-shit crazy to boot. not only is she a gem in the books, but helena bonham carter takes her role to a whole other level in the movies. give it up for bellatrix lestrange.
1: you filthy half blood: cape by phillip lim, dress and tights by givenchy, boots by balmain
2: i killed sirius black, i killed sirius black!: dress by elie saab, cape by givenchy haute couture
3: battling ginny, luna and hermione: coat by givenchy, dress by elie saab, tights and boots by bottega veneta
god harry potter is so good.

this one might be a bit of a stretch, but indulge me. so when i was a kid, i think i spent a good part of my time playing the legend of zelda. aside from being one of the best game series of all time, it had a pretty decent story. wind fishes, temples of time, crazy mountain trolls, all sorts of things. the princess zelda was a key part of the story (duh) and she often helped the adventurer, link in his quest. she was also one of three who could wield a piece of the tri-force in the ocarina of time. not making any sense? wikipedia it. enjoy.
1: spying in the castle garden: dress by chanel, she’s not wearing any shoes.
2: going to visit the temple of time: dress by derek lam, shoes by givenchy
3: pretending to be that guy sheikh: jumpsuit by marc by marc jacobs, boots by burberry prorsum
