Crime of Fashion? Markus Lupfer French lace trousers

markus lupfer french lace trousers Crime of Fashion? Markus Lupfer French lace trousers

You know, we’ve always assumed that if people did wear lace trousers, they’d probably wear them with something more than just their knickers underneath. Like, oh we don’t know: leggings, maybe? Tights? Even cycle shorts?

Apparently not, though.

These are by Markus Lupfer and they’re $760. Because that’s how much it costs these days to look like you got dressed in the dark…

This is the most expensive t-shirt in the world

most expensive t shirt in the world This is the most expensive t shirt in the world

It’s $400,000.

FOUR. HUNDRED. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.

Here is why it costs so much:

The spherical pattern is illustriously decorated with 16 certified hand-set diamonds. Each diamond commands exquisite color, clarity, cut and luster. Every diamond is an example of natural beauty as nothing is more rare, precious, beautiful or indestructible as a diamond! The design is encrusted with 8 white diamonds each over 1ct and 8 ‘enhanced’ rare black diamonds also over 1ct each.

And where would one buy the most expensive t-shirt in the world, we totally don’t hear you ask? Why, at themostexpensivetshirtintheworld.com. OBVIOUSLY.

Kate Beckinsale in Christian Dior at the Berlin photocall for Underworld: Awakening

kate beckinsale underworld awakening Kate Beckinsale in Christian Dior at the Berlin photocall for Underworld: Awakening

Kate Beckinsale is currently busy promoting Underworld: Awakening, and today she’s doing it in a white Christian Dior “crumbcatcher” dress. It’s white, because Kate Beckinsale almost always wears wear. She must be a very tidy eater/drinker is all we can say. Or, hey, maybe that’s what the crumbcatcher is for?

Speaking of which, let’s talk crumbcatcher bodices: they’re starting to be a bit of a red carpet trend. In just the last couple of weeks we’ve caught both Elle MacPherson and Andrea Riseborough in them. Kate’s forms the shape of a giant, sideways bow, but, as with most dresses in this style, it does add a bit of bulk to the front of the outfit, which is why we’re always on the fence about this kind of style.

What do YOU think?

Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2012 – Julien Fournie

PPF 024578 Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2012   Julien Fournie

QUESTION: What’s the difference between the clothes at Paris Haute Couture week, and the clothes you get on one of those “sexy clubwear” sites, like Great Glam or something?

Oh, yeah: there isn’t one.

Or not in the case of the two outfits above, that is. As for the rest of this show, take a look at the gallery and decide for yourselves…

Would you wear… your bra in public?

bras in public Would you wear... your bra in public?

Mark couldn’t believe Zoe was letting her bra straps show…

You’re probably wondering who these two are. Well, they’re  Mark Wright and Zoe Hardman. They’re on TV in the UK. One of them is wearing her bra on the red carpet. Yes, we know it’s covered by a think layer of sheer fabric, but a thin layer of sheer fabric does not a “dress” make, so we stand by our original statement: she is wearing a bra on the red carpet. And that makes us wonder: would you? 

Celebrities, you see, have been doing this kind of thing fairly often recently. They think nothing of going out in public in little more than a bra and a net curtain. Sometimes it’s not even a particularly nice bra.

Obviously we “don’t understand fashion”, so we’re not down with this look at all, and will be slapping the cuffs on young Ms Hardman as soon as we’re done typing this. Before we do, though, tell us: have you ever gone out in your bra? Would you? Is NOT going out with your bra showing one of those fashion “rules” that are now totally defunct and only for fuddy-duddys, i.e the type of people who go around saying, “A lady never appears in public without her panty hose!” and “OMG, WHITE! AFTER LABOR DAY!”

Still, at least we won’t have to worry about visible bra straps any more, if so…

Karl Lagerfeld for Net-a-Porter: What do you think?

karl lagerfled for net a porter Karl Lagerfeld for Net a Porter: What do you think?

Karl Lagerfeld’s collection for Net-a-Porter went on sale today, and as you can see, the models shown above managed to throw some particularly LOL-worthy shapes in honour of the occasion, bless their hearts.

What about the clothes, though? Well, the collection is described as having “a fashion-forward edge”, and that right there is more than enough to have set the fashionistas of the world almost wild with excitement, and to almost prompt The Fashion Police to declare a state of emergency. (We haven’t yet, though: we’ll let you decide whether or not it’s warranted.)

The KARL line (it’s an ALL CAPS brand, by the way, our keyboard didn’t get stuck there) contains everything from shoes to dresses to little KARL-esque collars, and the prices run from $25 (for a canvas bag) to over $1000 for a leather jacket. The cheapest items, however, are already sold out, despite only having been on sale for a few hours, so if you were thinking that people wouldn’t want to buy a canvas tote with KARL Lagerfeld’s face on it, you were wrong, and how dare you underestimate Uncle KARL?

Anyway, we’ll stop talking now, and let you start. What do you think of the collection? Will you buy any of it?

(Click here to see the collection in its entirety.)

Do our hips look big in this? The pannier skirt makes a comeback

pannier skirt Do our hips look big in this? The pannier skirt makes a comeback

Good news for those of you who’ve secretly always wanted to live in the 18th century (and seriously, WHO DOESN’T?): the huge-hipped look can now be yours, thanks to this pannier skirt by Meadham Kirchoff.

Yes, it’s huge. Yes, it looks like antique underwear. Yes, it’s £1,020. Yes, doorways may be a problem. And your hips WILL look big, we’re not gonna lie. So, basically, we have an item which is expensive, ridiculous and totally impractical: isn’t that what fashion’s all about?
