(Erin at Pretty Vintage gave us the heads-up about this one – go check out her blog!)
Asda aren’t even pretending to have come up with this design all by themselves: that’s their advertising above, and as you can see, they make no bones about the fact that the dress is inspired by the fabulous Balmain number Kate Moss wore to the Star Treck premiere earlier this year.
Of course, no one’s going to be mistaking this dress for the Balmain original, and, well, you wouldn’t really expect anyone to, given that it’s only £16. It’s a cheap n’ cheerful way to get a similar look, though, and if you want it, you can buy it in-store or from the Asda website – but don’t be surprised if it sells out fast!
Lately we've been re-considering our stance on play-suits. And, having re-considered, we've also performed one of our characteristic about-faces and decided that we really quite like them. They can be super-cute for summer/the beach, and yes, folks, the Fashion Police are ON BOARD with the playsuits.
Because from the front, this playsuit looks like it has room for you to carry your young in. And from the back, it looks like it has room for a diaper.
As Shoeperwoman has already noted, "gladiator sandals" may be the wrong way to describe these boots, but we're not quite sure what the RIGHT way is. What we do know is that they're exactly the kind of footwear we've had a file open on for quite some time now, as we've struggled to answer the question: who on earth would wear them?
Now, at least, we can close that case and give you the answer: it's Lindsay Lohan.
We've had a few emails now relating to American Apparel's tie dye cotton spandex harem pants, but we think Delaney said it best, writing, "I think that you should arrest this monstrosity for non-hippie related use of tie dye, in addition to the obvious drop-crotch horror. The five-star rating, suggestion to look at AA's "Afrika Print" version, and matching tie-dye tube top force me to reach for the eye bleach."
Of course, the, uh, great thing about these is that, if you don't want to wear them as a jumpsuit, as shown above, you just just yank down the top and wear them as a stripper pants. Look:
Yeah. If you're done with that eyeball bleach, Delaney, would you mind passing it in this direction?
Oh, now, this is just TRAGIC now, isn't it? Tragic. We can only guess at what happened to this poor shirt – how it came to have its insides ripped out, and had to be held together with a couple of makeshift straps – but to the practiced eyes of The Fashion Police, this looks to have all the signs of an organised attack. This is worrying indeed, because where there's one of these offences, there's usually more: and, indeed, there is, because this is also available in black!
Can anyone help this poor shirt by giving it a home? It may not look as nice as your other shirts, but at least you'll be doing a good deed, and it'll only cost you £145. Any takers?
The Fashion Police would be the first to admit we love our stilettos, but – and feel free to call us boring – we generally prefer to wear them the old-fashioned way. You know, on our feet?
Not to Azumi & David, though, who've created these stiletto heel necklaces as part of their Autumn/Winter 09 collection. No word on price, but it looks like there'll be a selection of colours and fabrics available, so you can wear your love of shoes on your, er, neck.
We have to admit, we like these a whole lot better than the nose pendant…
A Louis Vuitton handbag for £40? That CAN'T be real, can it?
Correct, it can't be. It's a canvas tote bag by Oonagh O'Hagen with a print of an LV shoulder bag on the front, and while it's clearly meant as a joke, we guess it could also be a good way for fashion victims to get their logo on without having to buy the real thing.
If you don't like Vuitton, there's also a version with a Hermes Birkin on the front. They're £40 each and exclusive to Browns .
