FASHION WEEK
The Very Best of New Zealand Fashion Week
I spared NZFW designers by conducting myself with a bit more grace and, rather than pissing on everyone, sharing with you a “Best of…” list of all the things I liked I during the week.
After Seeing 38 Shows at NYFW, I'm Going to Wear Grey Sweatpants for the Rest of My Life
After almost a whole week of elitist-heavy and hardly impressive runway shows, I decided that instead of piling on more designer indicators and flashy accessories, I wanted to stray as far away from fashion-victomhood as possible.
Avril Lavigne's NYFW Runway Show Filled Me with Angst
She'd dressed up like Skrillex for the occasion, which is her version of "professional fashion designer." This was so beyond anything I usually interact with, it was out of my hating reach.
Fashion Bootys
Everybody knows we love ass here at VICE. So when Fashion Week hit New York, we took it as an opportunity to observe the most stylish bootys attached to the most stylish people. Some were big, some were small, all were beautiful in their own way.
Krohn’s Disease - Sharks, Daisy Fuentes, and Fashion Week
A man decked out in a motorcycle helmet with a sequin-covered leather jacket, a woman dressed in a full blue body suit and face paint like a Smurf, a man tattooed to look like a skeleton. These are the fans of the “fashion” designers called the Blonds...

Look at These Awful/Fashionable People at NYFW
This past Sunday, I headed over to Lincoln Center to shoot the hordes of people hanging around for NYFW. I wanted to kill myself because of all the ego I had to deal with (you're going to a fashion show, not solving cancer here folks).
Michael Bastian Makes Uniforms for Douche Bags
I tried to picture Michael's SS13 collection of clothes on a guy approaching me at a bar. Would I talk to a greasy-haired dude in lime fleece man-shorts and a linen v-neck down to his belly button? Hell no! His name is probably Guiseppe.
Why I Think Fashion Week Is Stupid
It's like a bunch of carnival barkers luring you into a freak show, but the Siamese twins aren't Siamese at all, it's just two bitches shoved in the same dress.
All Dressed Up with Nowhere to Go at New York Fashion Week Pt. 1
With all its snotty parties, self-aggrandizing people, and the commerciality that seems to be symptomatic of New York Fashion Week, it's easy to forget that fashion is actually a good thing.
