We'd always known there was a chance American Apparel would decide to jump on board the harem pant train, so when Fashion Police reader Rachel emailed us to inform us the sad event had, indeed, taken place, we weren't really surprised.
That didn't stop us being horrified to see what AA came up with, though. And while we're glad this model isn't flashing any of the more intimate parts of her body at us (you never really know with the American Apparel website, do you?) we don't think she looks exactly thrilled to be wearing these, either.
It just goes to show: you think you're prepared for something, but it still comes as a shock when it happens…
We're going to be taking a short break over the Easter weekend, so here, have some Armani Easter Eggs on us. Whoops, nope, too late, we ate them. Sorry.
We actually first wrote about these jeans back in May 2007, but this month barely a day has gone by without someone emailing us to report them again, which led us to the realisation that not everyone has read through our extensive archives, or seen the horrors that lie within it!
Here, then, is the first in an occasional series in which we will revisit the Fashion Police jail and bring out some of the oldest inmates to introduce you to them. Starting off with perhaps the ugliest inmate: Sanna's bikini jeans: enjoy!
It's not just The Fashion Police you need to worry about when you're getting dressed in the morning, folks. No, sometimes the REAL cops have an interest in what you're wearing too, as teenager William Morales, from Key West, Florida, discovered to his cost when police almost shot him, believing his gun-shaped belt-buckle to be a real handgun. According to news reports, they were "milliseconds" away from firing at the teen, which just goes to show: fashion can be dangerous. (As anyone who's ever tried wearing 5" heels can probably testify…)
Something about this dress just says "Easter" and "Springtime" to us. We don't really know why, and there's something else about it that says "Little House on the Prairie", but still, it's very cheerful and bright, the one-shouldered design is very "now" and although it may need a bit of toning down, perhaps with a long cardi or something, it still makes us smile. It's £40 from Dorothy Perkins.
Well. There's "frilly" and there's "frilly" and this? This is FRILLY. It's about, oooh, a thousands times TOO frilly for our taste, although, in fairness, that Pepto Bismol pink makes it seem that little bit worse than it actually is. If it's right up your alley, you can buy it here in pink, purple, black or grey, for $280.
If, on the other hand, you're just curious to know what it looks like with someone actually carrying it, you can find a picture of that under the jump.
Wet look. We've been seeing it for a while now on leggings, of course, but it would appear that wet look fashion was infectious, and has spread to other members of the world of clothes: on our travels around the web this week, we encountered wet look dresses, tops, skirts and tunics – and there's still an awful lot of wet-look leggings out there, too.
What does everyone think of this development? We've already admitted that we don't actually mind the wet look leggings (we know that admission will shock some of you, and we understand), but in the case of the dress shown above, for instance, we tend to think that if it shows up every lump and bump on the mannequin, it's going to do exactly the same for us – only worse. Much worse. As for shiny gold and silver things, well, the less said the better.
First of all: WE KNOW. We couldn't quite believe someone wanted to copy those Louis Vuitton shoes either. But Bebe did. Oh yes they did. They went there. You see the evidence before you, folks: it's the motive that's the puzzle here.
These two shoes aren't exactly the same, of course, but as far as the Fashion Police Fraud Squad are concerned, it's the thought that counts. If you love the thought of getting your hands (or your feet) on this LV design for less, Bebe's 'Katrin' sandals are $149.
