Lucky us: we have yet another UK public holiday today, and it’s Memorial Day in the US, so Fashion Police are planning to take full advantage of the break! This means there’ll be no posts for today, and the fashion criminals of the world can feel free to wear their Crocs, harem pants and anything else they like without fear of arrest.
We hope you’re having a wonderful day too, however you’re spending it. If you’re missing us too much, remember to subscribe to our RSS feed so you never miss another post. You can also follow the blog on Twitter, or, if you prefer the personal touch, you can follow our editor on Twitter, too.
Yes, folks, it’s a Fashion Police Checkpoint, so before you all head off to enjoy the long weekend, we’re going to have to ask you to step to the side and give us a quick inventory of what you’re wearing. It’ll only take a minute, and don’t worry, it’s for sheer nosiness research purposes only, so we won’t judge you!
So, tell us: what are you wearing right this very second?
This isn’t technically a case of “stuck together clothes”: it just looks like it is. We’re not really sure what’s worse, actually: sticking clothes together, or just making it LOOK like you stuck clothes together. In this particular example, we think the latter is true: while some stuck-together-clothes do at least look relatively normal, there’s just something really half-assed about this, isn’t there? It’s like Alexander Wang got started on making a shirt/cardigan hybrid, then thought, “Oh, what the hell, I think I’ll go watch Glee, instead. This’ll do. People buy anything these days.”
DOES it “do”, though? Would you buy this item? If you would, the bad news is that it’s sold out at Pixie Market, where it normally retails for $110. The good news, however, is that you can sign up to be notified when new stock arrives. Do it here.
The Fashion Police are starting to think there’s an underground movement determined to reintroduce The Rocky Horror Show stylings to the real world. It may well be hiding behind the 80s revival look, but definitely features that gothic edge that the frills and flounces of the 80s skillfully skirted.
This bodysuit could certainly be worn under something frilled and/or flounced to detract from the goth element, but that would really only serve to make you look like an extra from Desperately Seeking Susan at best, Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun video at worst. And who wants to shell out £35 for that look? The Fashion Police feel that a pair of lace leggings and a lace body suit would provide a far cheaper and more versatile (not to mention more practical!) base!
If, however, the bodysuit is the only way you’re willing to go, you can pick up this Henry Holland lace number from Topshop.
We are not sure what is wrong with the people at Tall and All but they are now on our Most Wanted list for persistent crimes against fashion, many of which involve tie-dye. This jacket is no exception. It is listed as ‘stertch tie dye’ on the site but we can only assume they mean stretch. We were horrified to note that a pair of matching trousers is also available so you could buy those and wear them with the jacket and call it a suit.
That was a joke. Please don’t do that, we beg of you.
What do you think though? Is it likely that tie-dye will ever make a comeback, boosting this jacket into the fashion stratosphere and making it a coveted item? Or is it destined to remain the crime of fashion that we find it to be today?
If you like it and wish to purchase it, you can do so here for £40.
