Friday Fun: Topshop Unique Kissometer mini dress

Kissometer mini dress Friday Fun: Topshop Unique Kissometer mini dressOh. A kissometer dress. That's either "fun" or it's the kind of thing you'd buy for £5 at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

We're going to let you be the judge of that one, readers, but as you judge it, know that it has already sold out on the Topshop website, selling for £45, and appeared in the fashion pages of this month's UK Cosmopolitan, worn by Fearne Cotton, who seemed to be finding it great fun. 

If you want it, you're going to have to head to the store to find it, because as we say, it's sold out online.

Do you want it, though? Is it fun, or is it just plain tacky?

The Harem Hall of Shame – Part 3

Harem pants22 The Harem Hall of Shame   Part 3

The Harem Hall of Fame: it's where harem pants go when The Fashion Police arrest them, and thanks to the harem crime wave currently sweeping the world, it's starting to look pretty crowded.

Within the jail, some harem pants naturally try to lord it over the others, bullying them and generally making a nuisance of themselves. The Zimmermann harem pants shown above fall into that category: in fact, just last week they were caught trying to escape from the jail with fifteen other inmates hidden in their crotch area. They almost succeeded, too, because, well, it's hard to tell the difference with harem pants, isn't it?

Look under the jump for some more drop-crotch criminals…

Dress of the Day: Thurley ‘My Love’ silk dress

Thurley dress Dress of the Day: Thurley My Love silk dress

  This dress looks a little bit like lingerie. We're not even gong to deny it. Sometimes, though, we like a little bit of "underwear-as-outerwear", and when the "underwear" in question (Note: It's not actually underwear, you understand. It really is a dress.) is as pretty as this one, we're totally on board with it.

Net-a-Porter suggest wearing it with a denim jacket over the top: not a bad idea, it'll provide a nice contrast, and help stop you looking like you're out in your nightie.

It's £345 and available from NET-A-PORTER  Dress of the Day: Thurley My Love silk dress.

  After her recent "Look! I'm totally naked!" outing in Paris, The Fashion Police would like to suggest this Maison Martin Margiela leotard as Lady Gaga's next outfit. (Actually, we'd really like to suggest something that didn't create the illusion of nudity, but we don't think the good lady would go for it somehow…)

This is along the same lines as the last leotard Lady G stepped out in (which we reckon was also the work of MMM), but rather than making you look like you're completely naked, it'll allow you to merely look like you're deliberately flashing your Barbie-smooth boobs. If that seems too refined for you, though, don't worry – turn around, and you'll see that the back is still in keeping with the "totally naked" vibe, so you don't have to sacrifice too much of that shock value.

This is £114 from Yoox.com. Money, er, well spent.

Under Fashion Police Arrest: Meadham Kirchhoff jeans with zip detail

Jeans with zip detail Under Fashion Police Arrest: Meadham Kirchhoff jeans with zip detail

  Readers, we've found the perfect jeans to go withthose Halston boots we showed you earlier today – and by "perfect", we mean, "we've put out an APB on them and we hope  to have them in custody soon, no one panic".

We are, however, growing increasingly concerned about this whole "rip the back off stuff and call it 'fashion'" thing that seems be going round, like a particularly nasty virus at the moment. That's not to say these trousers would've looked good without the open backs, of course, because, as far as we can tell from the mugshot, these look like they'd be right at home on the Hot Topic sales rack, and we don't mean that as a compliment.

But the "missing parts" trend. It's scary, isn't it? It's not flattering to the leg. And if people are willing to walk around with the backs torn out of their boots and pants, how long will it be before we're forced to deal with open-backed skirts and dresses? We shudder to think.

In the meantime, these Meadham Kirchhoff jeans  Under Fashion Police Arrest: Meadham Kirchhoff jeans with zip detail are £1,390 – yes, £1,390 – from Browns  Under Fashion Police Arrest: Meadham Kirchhoff jeans with zip detail.
