If you hadn't read the headline of this post, you may well have wondered how this came to end up in our Crimes of Fashion category. After all, compared to some of the stuff we've put in there, this is positively tame. In fact, it's even quite cute. Sure, the model looks like she totally forgot her pants, and THAT'S always embarrassing, but even so: it's a cardigan over a shirt – hardly the fashion crime of the century, is it?
Well, no. But this is no ordinary cardigan, and that's no ordinary shirt. Because the two are as one. Yes, they're STUCK TOGETHER. We really hate that.
If you don't, however, this (we almost wrote "these", but of course, that would be wrong) will set you back $24.80 at Forever 21.
This weekend, thefashionpolice.net will be moving to a new platform and server. For most of you, this won't cause any disruption at all (we hope!) – you should be able to just log on as normal on Monday without any problems (although if you're visiting the site over the weekend, there may well be some periods of downtime).
There are some of you, however, who are still visiting the site through our old Typepad URL, http://www.foreveramber.typepad.com/fashionpolice. If you're one of those people. it's really important that you stop using this URL and update your bookmarks and links to our correct address, which is www.thefashionpolice.net. After this weekend, the old URL will cease to be updated, and will eventually be removed altogether, so if you want to continue reading, please make sure you're visiting thefashionpolice.net.
If you're subscribing by RSS we don't anticipate any problems. However, if a few days go by without any updates, you may want to check the live site to make sure you're not missing anything, and drop us a line to let us know the address of the RSS feed you're subscribing to, so we can fix it.
Because not everyone who reads the site visits us every day, we'll be repeating this message every day until the move happens, just so we don't leave any of you behind. Apologies to those of you who'll see it more than once
Well, the designer has followed it up with another animal-based design: the "Oh my God, I have a horse for an arm!" sweater shown above. He's one crazy kid, is our JC/DC!
Don't worry, though, Kermit hasn't been forgotten completely: read on to see some sweaters featuring his beloved green face. All products available at Colette, retailing for between £200 – £500.
The Fashion Police love notebooks: or all kinds of stationery, really. And we love handbags. So it would stand to reason that we would ALSO love a handbag that looks a bit like a spiral bound notebook.
We kind of DON'T, though. Why is that, we wonder? Is it just because this reeks of "items pretending to be other items"? You all know how we feel about impostors, after all. We don't know. What do you think, readers? Do you love Yves Saint Laurent's Spiral Clutch? If you do, you can buy it at Saks for £395.
Sometimes, readers, your fashion force uncovers too many crimes of fashion to be able to give each one of them the attention they so rightly deserve. So here's a quick roundup of some of the newer inmates of our jail this week. Don't have nightmares…
Dropped crotch, saggy hips AND animal print? Oh, River Island, NO!
