Two Trends Collide: Tulle hem trench coat from Topshop
Ah, the meeting of tulle and trench! Can it ever really work? Can a functional garment be created from the marriage of prom dress and overcoat? Well, Topshop have given it their best shot, creating this tulle hem trench coat, which probably won’t be a whole lot of use in the rain, but will allow you to waft around the streets on your way to work/school feeling a bit like you’re at a cocktail party, albeit one where no one’s bothered to actually remove their outerwear.
What do you think of this idea, readers? Does it seem like something you’d wear? If so, it’s £80 at Topshop.

Arrested: Prada plexi and burlap clogs
Watching Prada’s continuing adventures in perpex is like watching a car crash: it’s horrible and nauseating, but somehow you just can’t tear your eyes away…
Last time we featured one of this season’s plexi heels, it was the so-called ‘Chandelier’ shoes, which were as ostentatious as, well, a crystal chandelier. With these clogs, however, Prada have gone in the opposite direction altogether, topping a clumsy looking sole with an old piece of burlap sack, and then stretching credibility even further by charging $695 for it.
Of course, the fact that the words “plexi”, “burlap” and “clog” are used in the same product description here was always going to be a big clue that these would fall into the Crime of Fashion category, but if you’d like to bust them out of jail, just make your cheques payable to Bergdorf Goodman.
What do you think of them?

Handbag of the week: Miu Miu Runway satin pochette bag
Ok, we know the last handbag of the week was also Miu Miu and also featured the swallow motif of which they are so fond this season… but this bag is just so adorable, we couldn’t let it pass! Besides which, it has so many redeeming features making it worth of the “Handbag of the Week” title: the colours are a actually quite neutral, making it the perfect accent piece for your LBD. The flower clasp is too cute for words. It has a handle – no need to clutch, you can tuck your wrist through if you find you need both hands. Ok, technically that’s your lot… unless you count the fact that’s it’s cheaper than the last one – which, in relative terms, could be seen to make it a bargain!
If it’s your kind of bargain you can buy the Miu Miu runway satin pochette bag from Net a Porter for £650.

Ugly Prom Dresses Roundup: The Ultimate Ugly Prom Dress Gallery!
Ugly prom dresses: they’re out there. Oh boy, are they out there. The Fashion Police have been arresting these ugly prom dresses for years now, in a bid to keep the prom-going public free of such horrors as the “Bahama Mama” and “The One That Looks Like a Toilet Roll Doll”, but the consequence of that has been that our jail is now overflowing with ugly prom dresses of all descriptions. Some are tacky, some are trashy; some contain such lurid colours and patterns that not even eyeball bleach can save our sight. Others have strange cut-outs, so little fabric that you may as well go naked, or bizarre dangly bits that we can’t even begin to fathom. Some are even not that bad in the opinions of our readers.
Today, then, we’re bringing out all (or most) of the ugly prom dresses we’ve arrested over the years, and putting them on parade: a kind of rogue’s gallery, if you will. Don’t have nightmares…

Swimwear Section: Red or Dead retro 50’s Style Swimsuits
As regular readers will be well aware, one thing that’s always guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of The Fashion Police is a good old-fashioned dose of retro-inspired swimwear.
These 50s style suits by Red or Dead, then, are right up our boardwalk. Cut to cover much more than modern swimwear, these will be a little more forgiving to the figure, but are so cute and fun that you’d never suspect them of being anything so dull as “shapewear”.
At £62, these are a little more expensive than many swimsuits we’ve seen this year, but if you think they’re worth it, you can snap them up at Oli.
