Ah! All the cosiness of a long-sleeved sweater dress, but with a whopping great hole at the back for those times when it gets unexpectedly toasty, but only on your back. No, that's never happened to us, either, but isn't it reassuring to know that there are fashion designers out there providing for every possible eventuality?
(Actually, given that there have been so many of these "Back Vents" appearing in dresses lately, we're actually growing concerned. Do fashion designers know something we don't? Is climate change about to take a turn for the peculiar? Are human beings about to evolve in such a way that it will soon be necessary for our clothes to be bare backed, to provide room for… for what, we wonder? Tentacles? Humps? Lovely lady lumps? It's food for thought, readers. Food for thought.)
The backless dress has just been reduced to £32 in the ASOS sale, and we'd recommend wearing it with pants, if you don't want your butt to be as breezy as your back.

These…confuse us. At first glance, you see, we didn’t really know what we were looking at, exactly. Pants? With a skirt melted into the top of them? And kangaroo pockets on the side? Or is it a drop-crotch? Storm Trooper underwear? An adult diaper? WHAT?
Whatever purpose they’re supposed to serve, you can purchase them at Opening Ceremony for $455. Please don’t all thank us at once for tracking them down for you…

Look, Yves Saint Laurent, we're sure it's a really nice body suit and all. As body suits go, we mean. Obviously we're still not really on board with the whole "Body Suits Are Back!" thing that's going on in fashion at the moment – in fact, we're still struggling to get our heads around the 80s invasion, to be honest, and that's been going on for YEARS now .Sometimes when we go shopping, we think it actually IS the 80s.
But we digress.
Like we said, it's not that we doubt you've got a really good bodysuit there, and we're sure that if bodysuits were our thing, we'd consider yours to be THE BEST, a veritable King Amongst Bodysuits, if ever there was one.
But £670/£1,107, YSL? Seriously? Is there a decimal point missing from that figure by any chance, or do you ACTUALLY think we're stupid? Oh, say it ain't so!
BUY: Yves Saint Laurent Body Suit, £670

For Fall/Winter 2009, Comme des Garcons have taken a very "literal" approach to fashion – by which we mean "just in case you were wondering what each piece is, they've included a handy drawing on everything". Even the shoes:
You'll find two more examples under the jump, and all are currently available to buy from Colette. What do you think, though?

Ah, the old "hands on my boobs" gag! That never fails to amuse, does it?
Well, does it? Some of you will find this t-shirt quirky and humorous, while others will no doubt find it just a little on the tacky side. Which side are YOU on? Would you walk around with a pair of hands covering your assets, even if they're just a design on cloth? If so, this is £42 at ASOS.com.
