Fam Irvoll's Circus Chic

Model in Fam Irvoll

This is from Fam Irvoll's circus-inspired Fall 2010 collection.

I love the balloon skirt and Twister tights. Check out the rest of the wonderfully absurd collection here. Scroll to the bottom for the gallery. Highlights include a dress with stuffed elephants sewn onto the back, uninflated balloon epaulets, and polka dots galore. The only thing it lacks is clown shoes. Somebody really needs to exploit the fashion potential of clown shoes.

You can also see one of her designs worn by Marina of Marina and the Diamonds in the Hollywood video.

She reminds me of another one of my favorite designers, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, whose Kermit coat and hat were made famous by Gaga.
