Ah, Courtney Love, no matter how well-dressed she is she will always have a few screws loose. Cartoonist Michael Mouris decided to poke a little fun at Courtney and her relationship with the fashion world. Uncle Karl makes an appearance and so does Andre Leon Talley. It's chalk full of f-bombs, so I wouldn't blast this one in the office.

When the world of fashion and video collided no one knew what was going to come of it, but with more brands jumping on board, amazing fashion videos have become works of art unto themselves.

Now, the videos have been taken up a notch with the introduction of amazing animated shorts. Animated fashion films are perfect for those of us who reluctantly gave up Saturday morning cartoons in the name of becoming an adult. From dancing make-up and video lookbooks to strutting animations and little gladiators, we’ve found some cool animated videos for you to enjoy. Watch as a cartoonist pokes a little fun at Courtney Love,  snakes take over a behind-the-scenes shoot, and more. (Sorry, we couldn’t think of a good Snakes on a Plane joke.)

This new way of getting the word out about a new collection or campaign has quickly become an addiction for us and it’s cool to see fashion embrace short films because, well all know how long it took them to get on board with social media. Are there any of your favorites that we left off the list? Tell us!
