We've had sheer versions of just about everything else over the past couple of years, so we guess it was about time for the sheer coat (Shoat?) to make an appearance.
In fairness, this Mariella Burani coat isn't totally see-through, but it's close enough to see-through to make us wonder just what the point is? We guess there could be some merit in the fact that it's a coat that lets you show off whatever outfit you're wearing underneath, but given that it's not going to do much in the way of keeping you warm or protecting you from the elements, we still have to wonder whether that's a good enough reason to spend £395 / $579 on it?
Also: when we look at the pictures above, the words, "The doctor will see you now," come instantly to mind. Maybe that's just us, though.
What do you think, readers? Good idea? Pointless idea?Daylight Robbery idea? Tell us!
Urban Outfitters describe this top as "Evil Genius". The Fashion Police just want to know why. And also: who. Who is the 'Evil Genius' of whom Urban Outfitters speak? Why did he or she design a tunic with a hammock in the back? What's it for? Is it so models can carry their young to photo shoots? Is it for storing food, like a hamster does in its cheeks? Or is there another, more sinister reason for it?
We're stumped. We need your help, readers, to solve the Mystery of the Evil Genius top. Tell us: what's it for? And would you buy it?
We, meanwhile, are off to add this Evil Genius character to our "Wanted" list. (And we don't mean that in a good way.) Well, you can never be too careful…
For those of you who love logos, here's a set of leather band-aids, featuring the classic Louis Vuitton print. So if you can't afford the bag, fear not: you can still look like a fashion victim!
These are available here, but are price on request. Yes, you have to pay to be a walking advertisement for LV…
We're not sure when this advert dates from – going by the look of it we'd guess sometime in the 70s – but we think the real question here isn't "when" but "WHY?"
As you can see from the text, the purpose of the nipple bra is to allow you to have "that sensual, no-bra look while wearing a bra". It was "the very first bra to have its own built-in nipple" and provide that "cold weather look" all the time.
Yes, that'll definitely get your guy's attention. We'd love to see the look on his face, though, when you take off your top to reveal THE NIPPLE BRA!
The Fashion Police's uniform generally includes a pair of high heels of some kind, and the higher the better. So we're not daunted by platforms. When Shoeperwoman drew our attention to these ones by Charlotte Olympia yesterday, however, we found ourselves suffering an unexpected attack of vertigo, and then wondering if we could perhaps use them on our prisoners, to stop them running away.
We do agree with Shoeperwoman that they're fantastic shoes to look at, but would it be a case of "look, but don't touch" or do you have every confidence that you could wear these with ease?
We weren't sure what to think when we realised that Dolce& Gabbana were obsessed with Marilyn Monroe for their Fall/Winter 09 collection, but then we saw this dress on Molly Sims at the CFDA Awards, and started to change our minds. We're still not sure we'd want to wear someone else's face on our bodies, but this is definitely different, and we're loving the shape of the skirt.
The skirt version of this is currently available to pre-order at Louisa Viaroma, where it's 1,349 euros.
Aaah! Run! Hide! The Ruffle Shirted Overlords are coming to take over the wooooorrrllld!
Seriously, does this not look to you like the kind of thing an arch villain of some form would wear, or will we be the only ones having nightmares tonight?
Further reason for nightmares: it's $1,106 from Louisa Viaroma.
We'd say more about this disturbing turn of events, but we're currently hiding behind the sofa in the HQ, so over to you: what do you think of it?
"Punk pants", eh? So that's what the kids are calling them these days. Interesting. We initially identified these as common-or-garden harem pants, but we're still not 100% sure whether the leggings are actually attached to the pants or just a bizarre styling decision by Shopbop. If they're attached, of course, this means they're up on two counts:
The fact that they're definitely guilty on at least one of those counts gives us no hesitation in finding them guilty of committing crimes of fashion, but if you disagree, they're by Alexander McQueen, and they're $280 at Shopbop.
