Fashion Police Detectives: Guess what it is?

As we've said before,The Fashion Police are always deeply distrustful of items of clothing/accessories that can't be instantly identified. If it's a skirt, say, we want to be able to SEE that it's a skirt, and not mistake it for a handbag. And if it's a handbag, but it looks like a tuna fish, we're probably going to be alarmed.
With that in mind, we now ask you to play Fashion Police Detectives with us, and identify the item you see above. All we'll tell you is that it IS a fashion item of some kind: but what is it?
Place your guesses in the comments box, and check back later when all will be revealed!
EDIT: The answer has now been posted under the jump, so read on and all will be revealed…
And the object is………

A collar! For wearing around your neck:

And it's pretty big, too:

It's also on the expensive side, but if you want it (and we guess it would make a good head rest if you're having to fly somewhere), you can buy it here.
A very strange bra, very handy if one boob is a lot bigger than the other?
i was going to guess a bra too! it must be =)
Perhaps a headband??
I was thinking a headband too. Perhaps a ridiculously large and ugly brooch?
Hair bow
Brooch / Pin?
Earmuffs?
Some kind of weird bra/shirt thingy?
A fascinator….maybe….
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say maybe a shoe?
Maybe a bolero/capelet wrap thing?
Bra? Headband? Brooch?
If you turn it around, you have a dress.

some sort of hair clip perhaps?
Maybe a handbag?
Perhaps some heinous fuzzy clutch bag?/misshapen bra?…
Bra? Mickey-Mouse style headband? Crikey – not a pair of nipple pompoms, surely?
S
I’m putting my money on a clutch bag.
Moreso, why are the two um… “puffs” made of different materials? Could it be a mitten? Or perhaps a slipper?
I was thinking about a hair bow, but know that I watch it closely, I believe it’s a dress.
Headband. Although, knowing some designers, it could also pass as a belt.
Perhaps a bra
Some sort of oversized, mutant Mickey Mouse ears, Lady Gaga style?
Or perhaps a hat, now that I gave it a second thought…
I think it’s a brooch or pin…
Is it a hair pin?
bathing suit
Please don’t tell me it’s a shoe…
i agree with the rest of the forum when i say it absolutely has got to be a darn bra!
I’m going with headband. Because I hope to God it’s not a bra/bandeau top.
A wig? With the afro bit on top of the head and the feathery bit hanging down at the back…

Either bra or headband i’m going with..bizzarre either way!
An uneven bra or a weird headband are my guesses.
a dress?
I’m going with Brooch, because I recently saw ones just like those (I think there’s 2 there) at an art festival.
OK, we’ve kept you in suspense long enough, so if you refresh the page, you’ll now find the answer under the jump. You may be suprised…
I wouldn’t have guessed a collar.
Fake hair, ear muffs, but not a collar.
How very strange.
It’s original and I don’t think it’s that bad as a collar but.. 153€!!! No, thanks.
bizarre
thought i was a bra
um. i would love to see a pic of someone actually trying to rock this in the real world. this is ridiculous. it’s like someone took the top off their old ski hat, sewed it onto a priest’s collar and added the closest thing they could find to match it from the bin of old xmas wrapping remnants. why? why? why?
It reminds me of the Harijuku style going on in Japan right now! It probably would sell out there. Google harajuku and you’ll see what i mean!
NO. that is both wrong and implausible. why would anyone wear that?
