Return of the tuxedo jumpsuit, by Haute Hippie

tuxedo jumpsuit Return of the tuxedo jumpsuit, by Haute Hippie

We thought we’d stamped out the small wave of tuxedo jumpsuits - the ultimate in stuck-together-clothes - that plagued the world of fashion earlier this year, so we’re saddened to see that these villains are still around, most recently showing up in the form of this wool-blend effort by Haute Hippie.

This is far from the worst example of this particular genre we’ve ever had to arrest, but seriously: for £725, wouldn’t you much rather have an actual tuxedo? Where the jacket isn’t attached to the trousers? Or a really, really nice dress? We know we would, but if you prefer to get completely undressed every time you have to visit the bathroom, this is available at Net-a-Porter.

Frankenshoes: Vivienne Westwood’s “toe shoes”

vivienne westwood toe shoes Frankenshoes: Vivienne Westwoods toe shoesOh, Vivienne Westwood, way to ruin some perfectly good pairs of shoes! Well, OK, maybe not the black ones on the right . We’re pretty sure we’d have disliked those even if they DIDN’T look like they still had someone’s toes in them – and toes that are really feeling the pinch, at that!

These are just two examples of Vivienne Westwood’s “toe” shoes. They’re certainly not as bad as some shoes we could mention, but they still look a lot like too-tight footwear that’ve been worn until the leather molded to the toes underneath (and by someone with only four toes on each foot, too!), and we just can’t get on board with that. Can you? If so, these – and 0ther similar styles – can all be purchased from the Vivienne Westwood website.
