Celebrity Style On Trial: Rihanna in drop-crotch pants and crop top

90825M2 RIHANNA B GR 07 Celebrity Style On Trial: Rihanna in drop crotch pants and crop top

Rihanna tends to get away with a lot of things that other people just wouldn’t. Fashion-wise, we mean. This is because… well, it’s because she’s Rihanna, basically. Would you mess with her?

Can she get away with the ubiquitous dropped-crotch, saggy-hipped pant, though? You know , the style that almost every brand in creation seems to be pushing right now, but which we’ve yet to see anyone wear well? What if she teamed those droopy pants with that other hard-to-pull-off-unless-you’re-Rhianna item: the crop top? Would that STILL be OK?

We’re staying schtum on this one. It’s totally up to you to decide. What do you think of Rihanna’s outfit?

Impostor Alert! Viktor & Rolf in “boots-pretending-to-be-shoes” crime

viktor and rolf Impostor Alert! Viktor & Rolf in boots pretending to be shoes crime

Aha, Viktor & Rolf, we see what happened here: you thought that by making the boots all black we maybe wouldn’t notice the small matter of the SHOE stuck onto the bottom, but sorry guys, nothing gets past The Fashion Police and their dedicated team of officers.

This is actually Viktor & Rolf’s second foray into the world of Boots-Pretending-to-be-Shoes, and some of you thought their first attemptwasn’t half bad, actually. Will these Footwear Impostors also win your hearts, though, or is this just a shoe too far? And what’s that gold thing on the heel, anyway? Did the Impostors step in something on their way to the Fashion Police holding cells?

Bail is set at £360, payable to Yoox.

Ouch!Pierced eye glasses by James Sooy

pierced eye glasses Ouch!Pierced eye glasses by James Sooy

Always forgetting your glasses? Not any more, you won’t be, because with these ones will be actually attached to your face.

Yes, as you can see from the image, the frames are attached to a piercing at the bridge of the nose. They’re designed by James Sooy, and cost $75 – $100 (you’ll have to have the piercing done yourself). Oh, and the lenses are held on by magnets, so at least you can take them off before bed, thus minimising the chances of damage to either you or the glasses.

More info can be found here, but tell us: what do you think of this idea?

Harem Hell: Designers Remix Extreme Jersey Harem Pants

extreme harem pants Harem Hell: Designers Remix Extreme Jersey Harem Pants

OK, we’re issuing a Code Red on the harem pants situation. We thought things were starting to improve on that front, but over the past few weeks we’ve been becoming increasingly concerned by reports of a new, and even more powerful breed of harem pants: a super-race, if you will.

These are called the “extreme harem” and we showed you their king last week, so now we bring you the heir apparent – the prince of the Extreme Harem, by Designers Remix. These cost £130, but DO provide lots of storage space: handy if you’re travelling and don’t want to check your bag, we guess…

American Apparel’s nylon tricot high-waist leggings make you look naked from the waist down

american apparel nude leggi American Apparels nylon tricot high waist leggings make you look naked from the waist downYou know the best things about these American Apparel leggings? It’s not the fact that they’ll make you look like you’re naked from the waist down (assuming you have a similar skin tone to the leggings obviously: if not, you maybe won’t look naked, but you will look a little…odd): it’s the fact that your underwear will be clearly visible through them, as you can see from the image above.

Oh, and by “the best thing”, we mean “the worst thing”, obviously.

American Apparel, you did it again…

[Thanks to Katherine for the report!]

James Piatt’s Pursuader: the automatic rifle handbag

We’re thinking this should be part of The Fashion Police uniform. After all, we’re not a real police force, so actual weapons are out of the question, but handbags are a whole different issue.

This one is by James Piattt, is made from mirrored leather and is $589. Would you buy/carry it, though?

Bless this scarf – for it has a set of sleeves attached to it

scarf with sleeves Bless this scarf   for it has a set of sleeves attached to it

It’s the ultimate case of Clothes-That-Are-Stuck-Together - a scarf that’s stuck to… sleeves. Well, at least you won’t run the risk of going out without your scarf, although we guess you may well run the risk of freezing your torso if you rely on this alone.

The sleeved scarf comes to us courtesy of Bless, who were also the label behind yesterday’s cotton and fox fur jacket. Is it a cunning idea to make clothes multi-task, though, or is it just an overpriced crime of fashion (it’s $931. No, that’s not a typo.)? You decide…
