The Doomed

Cheap Monday Fall/Winter 2011

We are already living in a cyber world. We have digital avatars on Facebook, supposedly representing ourselves. We do live a post-apocalyptic life. And don't even need an Armageddon. So let's dress if there was no tomorrow. For god's sake!

The Burberry Prada Scandal

Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Prada Fall/Winter 2006 & 2007

The Farhi Sander Scandal

Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2010
