Productofthe90s Remember that ‘Product of the 80s’ dress‘ Topshop were selling not so long ago? Well, here’s a version from ASOS for those of you who are even younger than the Topshop dress-wearers, and are, in fact, products of the 1990s instead.

Have you spotted the deliberate mistake, though? Yes, that would be “product of the 90s” – no apostrophe required. Plurals don’t have apostrophes, kids – don’t listen to ASOS and Topshop, listen to The Fashion Police. We’ll keep you right. Or we’ll try, anyway.

Britney Watch: Totally tasteless jewellery

Britneyspearsring

Britney said a bad word, Britney said a bad word! Only she said it with her jewellery not with her mouth – isn’t that, like, totally cool? Well, no. Of course it’s not freakin’ cool, people. In fact, it’s so totally un-cool that we’d send her straight to fashion jail, if, of course, she wasn’t there already… Oh, and she has the same "bad word" printed on her baseball cap, too. Classy. Not.

"Dear Fashion Police,

While it is not my senior prom, I was invited to prom by a friend and I really need help on choosing what kind of dress to wear. The country I live in is unkind (fashion-wise) to those who are larger than a size 2 . I am big in the hips, the breasts, the butt and thighs, while being reasonably smaller in the waist. I was wondering if you or others of the Fashion Police could help me choose a flattering style of dress for my kind of body. Thank you so much."

Hi Deborah,

Sounds like you have a classic hourglass figure, which makes you lucky because the standard prom dress shape was made for you! You don’t say what kind of colouring you have, or what kind of shapes/fabrics you like, but in general you should be looking for dresses that emphasise your small waist. The Warehouse dress on the left of the picture above has a wide band around the waist which will help do that, while the wide skirt hides your butt and thighs. If you’re not comfortable with the strapless style, though, Monsoon’s ‘Cico’ dress, on the right, will be a little more comfortable. More pics after the jump…

Bigbrothereye_2_2_2_2 There’s more to life than fashion, folks, (although not much more, to be honest), and those of you who’ll be tuning in to the first night of Big Brother 8 in the UK might want to take a look at our Big Brother blog, which will be covering all of the news from the Big Brother house for the duration of the series.

Big-Blogger is its name, and www.big-blogger.co.uk is its address, so if yo fancy a short break from fashion , pop over and take a look!

Still reeling from the news that UK TV Style think oversized sunglasses are the third-worst crime of fashion you can possibly commit , I’ve decided to put the offending items up On Trial and find out what the Fashion Police regulars think about them.

Now, I’ve already given my opinion: I love my oversized sunnies and am rarely ever seen without them – but then, I don’t have the kind of emaciated, Nicole Ritchie-style figure that, when paired with big sunglasses, can make the wearer look like a giant, bug-eyed stick insect. (Do you even get bug-eyed stick insects?) I think Paris Hilton really suits her big sunnies in the picture below, but do you all agree with me, or should we be calling her a fashion criminal instead, as UK TV Style would have us believe? As the owner of several pairs of glasses not unlike these, I’m clearly too biased to judge on this one, so it’s over to you, dear readers. Whaddya think?

Barney’s are charging $640 for these platform lace-ups by Fendi. Isn’t that hilarious? I mean, can you imagine the kind of person that would pay hundreds of dollars to put something so ugly on their feet? Are these the same people, I wonder, who’re wandering around in jeans bikini pants and harem pants, I wonder? I think so. And while we can’t actually arrest the shoes, we’d sure as hell like to arrest the wearers…

Sockswithsandals Wait a minute – didn’t we just do this already? Um, yes. Yes, we did. It was but two short weeks ago that we brought you the "shocking" news (I was shocked. Were you shocked?) that according to some survey or other, visible bra straps had been found to be the biggest summer fashion crime you can commit.

Well, hold that result, folks, because according to ANOTHER survey – this time carried out by UKTV style – the REAL fashion crime of the summer is wearing socks with sandals. No way! Who knew socks with sandals looked rank? (Um, all of us, maybe?) This, however, is only the number one crime against fashion for men. Look after the jump for the top female fashion crimes – including one that has me shocked….

Manolo Blahnik gets a blog

Manolo So, you all know The Manolo, right? He’s the hilarious shoe blogger who is one of the leading lights of our little fashion-blogging universe. But The Manolo has some competition – from, er, the real Manolo. Yes, Mr Manolo Blahnik is about to start a blog – or what sounds very like one, anyway, at his newly revamped website. Apparently Manolo will be updating the site regularly – with his very own hands, people – with his thoughts, news, and information about his fabulous shoe collections. We can’t wait.

Hey – want to trade links with The Fashion Police, Mr Blahnik, sir?

Heatherlocklearboobs

Behold the under-cleavage – the cleavage that comes when your bikini top is a couple of sizes too small, and the reason why you should always make sure you jump around the changing room a few times and wave your hands in the air (like ya just don’t care, folks!) when you’re trying on a new swimsuit. If you fail to follow these steps, why, you could end up looking like Heather Locklear – or, more specifically, like Heather Locklear’s boobs, which, as you can see, are a two-pater – one part below the bikini, one part above. Don’t try it at home, kids…

H&M reveal Autumn/Winter 07 collection

Hmthefashionpolice

I know most of you probably don’t want to even think about winter right now (God knows, I certainly don’t), but H&M have just released some pics of their new collection and it’s … well, it’s interesting to say the least. So, this is what you’ll be wearing this winter, folks: coats so voluminous you could house a small family under them and… wait, are those jogging pants? Thick, super-baggy jogging pants with – oh my Lord! – cuffs on the bottom? The hell? I dunno: I haven’t seen these clothes in the flesh, so for now I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt. There are some more pics after the jump – be sure and tell me what you think!
