After the relentless cheerfulness of the Spring/Summer 2012 collections, I’m very happy to see the looming pressure of The End of the World!!!! reflected in the Fall 2012 shows.
There’s so much for an aspiring, dystopian warrior queen to choose from this season.
This dress is so badass sexy I can’t stand it. I want to wear this dress now and swish around the Shop Rite in it, looking all imperious in the soup aisle. This dress demands a crossbow.

Similarly toned fur scraps make for a nice minion look to the crossbow wielding warrior queen of the soup aisle. She would hold the basket and double check that the ingredients to the soup were free of any stealth gluten.

The wackadoo headpiece obscures that this is pretty tame for a Rick Owens look. Still appropriate for a worker drone.

An appropriate winter look for Auntie Entity.

I’m digging the color and cut on the jacket and skirt, but the styling looks like Edward Scissorhands.

Dr. Seuss draws a teddy boy.

“The Pro vs The Ho”. That’s the first thing that came to mind after seeing this dress with protruding boob bits all over it. No, it doesn’t make sense, but that’s where I went.

This is how nerdy I am: saw the mirrory bits on the dress and immediately saw potential for mini-solar panels that would power a death ray.

Ice skater from hell.

I just…I can’t even… gorilla arms are back. Christ.

And one more to add to my imaginary wardrobe of hooded gowns. First thought: Polgara the Sorceress.

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 
I love your fashion reviews (revues? What is the difference between those words, anyway?) They make sense out of obviously otherwordly, alien fashion sense.
I think both spellings may be appropriate. As in, the stuff is being reviewed and it’s a revue, as in, a collection of stuff. Ha! My English degree! It’s what’s for dinner.
Yeah, these reviews are one of my favorite things on this website! And I totally agree about the crossbow and love the idea of the solar paneled death ray dress.
I’m personally of the mind that any ensemble can be improved by an appropriately placed crossbow and/or gas mask. I’ve done many Polyvore sets in the past demonstrating this. Maybe I should put them here.
I want all the clothes
