The writing’s on the dress: Names Dress by Emma Cook for Topshop
Anyone remember that Beautiful South track, Song for Whoever? That’s what we think of when we look at this dress. “Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue…” or, in this case, “Nancy, Sheena, Shona, Janet…”
Yes, it’s Emma Cook’s ‘Names’ dress, and even if one of the names happens to be yours, we still think it would set you up for an evening filled with people walking up to you to make “hilarious” jokes about never forgetting names/not being able to remember your own name/whatever. And of course, that may well be the point.
Just to confuse people further, though, you could always go for the sweater version:
It’s covered in men’s names rather than women’s ones. Which is… definitely a conversation starter, we’d imagine.
What do you think, readers? Want to walk around with some strangers’ names on your chest?

Thank goodness for the world of fashion. At least it provides a good laugh every now and then. And I wonder who’d buy such a thing…and wear it.
no, i wouldn`t wear my name or any other random names on my chest.

Is the sweater the Tracey Emin version?
this just screams bizarre. I’m so flabbergasted…

hahahahahahahaha nice.
it’s like that mambo number 5 song in clothing form…or you could make people think you are a real player by suggesting that you decorated your clothes with the names of your lovers lol
Haha, I like that my name is so prominently featured on the dress.
I noticed that too!
…still wouldn’t wear it. Reminds me of 2nd grade.
I am definitely buying both the red and the blue sweaters, I love the idea! As for the conversation starters, hahaha, that should be interesting!
