As soon as this foil jumpsuit appeared on the Topshop website, the emails started to arrive, from people asking us to please, please for the love of God, just arrest it already!
The most recent email on the subject came from Fashion Police reader Rose, who wrote: "Will you please please please be so kind as to arrest this horror while I will start distributing brain bleach to the poor witnesses of this crime?"
Well, how could we possibly refuse a plea like that? Especially given that what we're dealing with here is an item of clothing which even emphasises the mannequin's lumpy bits.
"Leggings have been all over the place for several years now. Designers are finding every way possible to make them their own– whether through different fabrics, lengths, or prints.
And, if you also have a strange affinity for body parts, then Mishka has got you covered.
The Keep Watch Leggings are depicted with a rather creepy eyeball print. But these babies are not just any eyes; no, that would be too normal. These overly rounded, floating eyeballs are bloodshot red. They take "eyes at the back of your head" to a whole new level. Can you say disturbing?
For those of you mass murderers and scientists that may find them of interest, you can find these peepers at Karmaloop for $67."

Foley + Corinna started making their mark in the handbag world in 1999. They are best known for their Mid City Tote, but I prefer this Jet Setter Junior. It comes in lots of colors (purple, black, chestnut, magenta, white, blue, gray, red, sliver) as well as standard and metallic leather. It is the perfect chic bag for work but can be used any time! It also would make a great carry-on while traveling.
If you think it would work for you, find it at Luna Boston for $425.

Fringe. Even although we know it can look stunning in the right hands, we're so used to seeing it in the wrong ones that we've come to have a deep mistrust of it, which leads us to mistrust our initial judgements on the be-fringed fashion items that cross our paths.
Take this Galliano handbag, for instance. We can't help but feel that putting an arm through that strap would feel a little bit like plunging it into the depths of the jungle, not knowing what might be lurking there waiting to bite it off. This image alone is enough to make us say "thanks, but no thanks", but you may see things differently. In fact, you may think the fringing is what makes it wonderful.
Which is it? Is it a fashion crime, or is it absolutely fine? You decide!
We're really glad this model was styled with leggings underneath her trousers. Because that would just have looked silly otherwise, wouldn't it?
On the other hand, perhaps she was too busy trying to detract us from the fact that these pants are designed to make the person wearing them look both stumpy AND hippy, by means of using lots of volume in the hips and cutting them off at that strange point in the middle of the calf that's almost guaranteed to make even the tallest, leggiest of us look vertically challenged.
Still, at least the leggings detract from the visible pockets. There's just no way we'd have considered paying 298 euros for these otherwise!
The C-String caused quite a stir when we first wrote about it, with some of you saying you wouldn't wear it as part of a Wear or Die, and others claiming that y'all didn't know what you were talking about, and that this was the best thing since… well, since the G-String, basically.
As you may or may not be able to tell from the image above, the C-String is like a g-string, with one important different: it has no straps at all, so when you slip it on, it just kind of, er, clings there. The Fashion Police wouldn't normally get involved with matters of lingerie, because we tend to think that what people wear under their clothes is up to them, but the suggestion that the C-String would make excellent swimwear was just a little bit much for us.
The C-String is still being sold at Lovehoney.co.uk (Note: that link is NOT safe for work), and seems to have many, very vocal fans, so hey, maybe it really IS the greatest thing to hit the lingerie world after all. Or maybe not. What do you think?
STOP! This is a Fashion Police checkpoint, and before you can proceed with what you’re doing, we’re going to need to take a complete inventory of everything you’re wearing!
OK, so it’s just for fun, and because we’re super-nosey, but humour us here: tell us what you’re wearing right this very second: we promise we won’t judge you!
We've been wondering for a while now just who's been buying all of those cutaway swimsuits the stores just can't seem to stop churning out at the moment…
We wonder no more. This photo of Paris Hilton is a few weeks old, but it still answers that all-important question. Tell us, though: are we alone in hating this swimwear trend? Because they always remind us of those outfits female bodybuilders wear, and they always seem to come in the loudest, most garish prints available – in fact, Paris, here, is wearing one of the more subtle of this type of swimsuit, and "subtle" isn't a word we're used to using in the same sentence as "Paris Hilton".
And yet, it's been two years now, and still we see these for sale, which means people – not just Paris – must be buying them. Are you buying them? What do you think of them?
