Dress of the Day: L’Wren Scott Headmistress wool dress

headmistress dress Dress of the Day: LWren Scott Headmistress wool dressOur Dress of the Day column has been on hiatus for a couple of weeks, but seriously, our eyes are actually bleeding due to some of the fashion crimes we’ve been arresting lately, so we thought it was time to bring it back, if only to give ourselves something else to look at.

This ‘Headmistress’ dress by L’Wren Scott is in a style that a lot of you will probably find too boring and severe for its own good – in other words, it’ll live up to its name as far as you’re concerned. Right now, however, this kind of no-fuss style is exactly what we need after the horrors of the past few days, and if you’re a fan of the so-called ‘Sexy Secretary style, then you may just like the ‘Sexy Headmistress’ too. Just maybe not enough to pay £1,695 for it at NET-A-PORTER  Dress of the Day: LWren Scott Headmistress wool dress

Sack the Stylist: Gladiator sandals/swimsuit combo at Shopbop

gladiators Sack the Stylist: Gladiator sandals/swimsuit combo at ShopbopWe’ve featured enough swimsuits like this one for our feelings on this particular style to be well-known by now: in fact, we arrested this very item back in October 08, and it’s still languishing in the Fashion Police cells hoping to get our early for good behaviour.   

It’ll clearly be waiting a long time, though, because this appearance at Shopbop does not constitute “good behaviour”, now does it? In fact, it would appear that while it was incarcerated, the swimsuit somehow managed to team up with another inmate – a pair of gladiator sandals – and together they made this poor Shopbop model look like she’s about to burst into tears.

For this, we’re sending the swimsuit to solitary. Let this be a lesson to the rest of the Fashion Jail inmates. And rest assured that no models were harmed in the making of this photo. We hope.

Wear or Die: The Wrong Trousers

wear or die Wear or Die: The Wrong TrousersOnce again, The Fashion Police have seized a shipment of contraband clothes, and have decided to make good use of them by forcing you, our readers, to wear them – or die.

The two outfits above come from SANS, and, as you can see, feature large holes in the trousers. Our question to you, then – and we must admit, it’s a question we never thought we’d hear ourselves ask – is this: do you prefer the large hole in your trousers to:

a) have a large pair of bloomers protruding from it

or

b) make you look like a creepy cowboy?

Up to you, readers: tell us your choice in the comments!

Celebrity Street Style: Kate Moss loves naked pictures, apparently

spl72256 0021 Celebrity Street Style: Kate Moss loves naked pictures, apparently

Glamorous, red carpet gowns are all well and good, but it’s the clothes celebrities choose to wear as they go about their day-to-day lives that really interest The Fashion Police.

In the case of Kate Moss, for instance, those clothes are short-shorts, tights and a t-shirt advertising a photo studio specialising in “naked photos”. What message was Kate trying to give us with this choice, we wonder? Or would we rather not know?

Shoe Sales! Faith, Barratts, Schuh and more!

shoes sales Shoe Sales! Faith, Barratts, Schuh and more!

If there’s one thing that warms the cockles of The Fashion Police’s hearts, is the words "shoes" and "sale" used in the same sentence. So here’s a handful of links to warm your cockles too…

Faith are currently offering 25% off all of their full-priced boots (including the two shown above) in addition to their regular sale.

Barratts are selling shoes for £10. Of course, that means none of them are available in OUR size, but you may be luckier…

Priceless were selling their shoes super-cheap already, so you can imagine what kind of prices you’ll get in the sale…

Schuh have up to 70% off sale shoes at the moment.

Shudoo have up to 60% off.

Happy shopping!

Fashion Police Fraud Squad: Eiffel Tower Bag by Timmy Woods and Topshop

eiffel tower bag Fashion Police Fraud Squad: Eiffel Tower Bag by Timmy Woods and TopshopTimmy Woods’ Eiffel Tower handbag got a mixed response from the Jury when we put it up On Trial back in May of last year, with some of you finding it absolutely adorable, and some being uncomfortably reminded of a kid’s toy or tacky souvenir.

Still, Carrie Bradshaw, who carried it in the Sex and the City movie, obviously liked it, and so too did Topshop, who’ve created their own “Tower Bag“, which they’re selling for just £20. We don’t think anyone would mistake this for the $450 original, but if you like it, you can buy it here.

Dear Christian Louboutin,

Have we told you lately that we love you? No? Well, we do. Because even when you’re making a simple pair of peep toe pumps, like these ones, you do it so damn well.

Love,
