Pre-fall shoes have arrived at Neiman Marcus so we have lined up some of the styles that stand out. Should they walk the streets or get locked up?
Trying to take summer boho trends into fall is the Manolo Blahnik Cutout Lace-Up Bootie, $1,145. Described as a Western take on the cuffed bootie, The Fashion Police would like to see this suspect in action to get a better feel for its M.O. But from here, it’s hard to tell if the style has the sleek sexiness that’s so great about stiletto booties. It might be a little too Pocahontas.
A tougher choice that would kick that boho Blahnik to the curb is the Fendi Chain Front Platform Pump, $785. The major 2″ stacked, upturned platform combined with textured leather makes this look very heavy. Is the whole look fabulously punky, or too clunky?
Sequins! You know we love them. But do you love the Miu Miu Sequined Platform Pump for $750? The contrasting metallic leather definitely adds interest. It also says the allover sequins reverse from gold to silver, but we’re not quite sure how that works. Definitely clever. Do you want?
Are rosettes returning with SATC 2? Giuseppe Zanotti thinks so, as he’s put one large enough for Carrie on his Leopard-Rosette Sandal, $850. We’re not sure with what one would wear this – care to venture a guess?
Don’t worry, we haven’t just cottoned on to the fact that skinny jeans are a little bit popular at the moment: what we’re talking about here is the variation on the style that’s been cropping up over the past few months – the SUPER-skinny jean!
While regular skinnies are close-fitting (some more than others), the super-skinny, as the name suggests, is skintight. Like, really skintight. In the name of fashion research, your Fashion Police officers recently tried on a pair of super-skinnies, and we can report that these babies are as close-fitting as leggings, putting a whole new spin on the “jeggings” trend.
So, what do you think of them? Are you so used to the sight of skinny jeans and leggings that you’re not even remotely phased by the emergence of the super-skinny? Or do you think this is a bad direction for the denim market to be moving in? Tell us!
Don’t worry, readers: we know what you’re thinking, but it’s OK, these House of Holland shorts are only SEMI-sheer. Which means it would be perfectly acceptable to wear them like this:
Well, it would if you were a plastic mannequin, that is. If you’re an actual human being, we’d suggest the Fashion Police might be the least of your worries if you went out like this. If you want to risk it anyway, head over to Browns: the shorts are £210, and you can buy the rest of the outfit there too while you’re at it. (Note the Peep Toe Boot Rule is being observed here: nice one, Browns.)
The Fashion Police are seeing stripes. Literally. Whether they’re Breton, nautical, or just plain ol’ Dennis-the-Menace, stripes are one of those prints that come round every summer, but which have been a little more prolific this year than they usually are.
Whether you love them or loathe them, it doesn’t look like the stripes are going anywhere soon, so here’s our gallery of how the stars wear them, for both causal and not-so-casual occasions…
"I went to Cheap Monday and all I got was this lousy dress!"
The word “dress” is kinda pushing it when it comes to this item, isn’t it? And, actually, so is the word “clothes”, now we come to think of it, because this looks less like a covering for the body and more like a giant net that Cheap Monday have cunningly talked this model into wearing, in order to try to persuade us all that we want t spend £45 on it. She doesn’t look happy, does she? We don’t blame her, either: she was lucky she was able to work out which holes were for her head and arms! Some people would be less lucky: they’d end up stuck there for hours, frantically trying to disentangle themseves from the cunning web Cheap Monday have woven. Maybe that was the plan all along?
There was a lot of bad fashion on the red carpet at the MTV movie awards. A lot. So it’s really something of an honor that we choose to distinguish Christina Aguilera for her sartorial selection for the evening. The asymmetric mullet skirt which might be the focus of another dress is really the least offensive part of this ensemble. Throw it together with chunky chain detail belt and straps, and a criss-cross bandeau top which does not seem the most flattering to a larger chest and … well, this is what you get. Is it fashion forward and edgy for the rocker vibe of the show, or it is just over the edge?
