Maison Martin Margiela t-shirt with fur detail

martin margiela fur trimmed t shirt Maison Martin Margiela t shirt with fur detailOh, for the love of Gaga… Do we REALLY have to have fur on EVERYTHING at the moment? Do we, Maison Martin Margiela, and every other brand that can’t seem to get through a collection right now without the totally gratuitous use of some dead animal? Do t-shirts really NEED to have “fur detail”? We’re going to go with “no” on that one, and while the goat-hair pads on this shirt are removable, meaning you can also have a totally ordinary looking £435 t-shirt if you want, that doesn’t really make it a whole lot better, does it?

At least we can agree with Browns Fashion on one thing, though. They say this t-shirt “will have jaws dropping and heads turning”. Well, ya got that right, Browns. You definitely got that right…

When denim goes bad: G-Star Dean Loose Tapered Jeans

G Star Dean Loose Tapered Jeans When denim goes bad: G Star Dean Loose Tapered Jeans

Oh dear. Where do we start? With the patched knees? The deliberate holes? Or the fact that, were it not for the dropped crotch, this would essentially be a contender for the stuck-together-clothes file: an artist’s impression of a denim mini skirt worn over sagging jeggings, perhaps?

There is frankly nothing right about these jeans. They are not flattering. They are not cutting edge. They are not sexy and could not be made to look so however you dressed them up. Their only saving grace is the fact that they could never produce the camel toe effect, however hard they tried!

To rub salt into the wounds, they weigh in at a hefty £119. Not hefty for a classic denim number, perhaps, but rather costly for something already boasting holes and saggy knees!

Available from G-Star at ASOS.

Style on Trial: Idol studded wedges at New Look

New Look Idol studded wedge Style on Trial: Idol studded wedges at New LookWe have nothing against wedges.  Or studs.  Or the lovely blue colour of these shoes for that matter.  But put them all together, add some thick straps and suddenly we’re not so sure.   These wedges by Idol for New Look were initially available in blue and black, but it looks like the black is now completely sold out.  The blue is showing Low Stock in all but one size so someone must be buying them.  Is it you?  What do you think of these shoes?

If you do like them and want to purchase one of the remaining few pairs, you can do so here for £30.

Style on Trial: Snake print leggings from Topshop

Hey, everyone! Want your legs to look like a couple of reptiles! Topshop is here to help you do just that, with their snake-print leggings, £22.

On the plus side, you know all those people who have phobias about snakes? Just think of the fun you can have with them. On the minus side, however: well, to be honest, it’s pretty much ALL a minus side as far as we’re concerned, and we say that as people who don’t even have a particular problem with snakes: just with these leggings.

What about you, though? Yay or Nay to the snake-print leggings?

Kilt-leg trousers by Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs

"That's right, they're half-kilt, half-pants. SO?"

The kilt trend has only just started, and already it’s getting totally out of hand. We knew we should’ve tried to put a stop to this last week, when we first addressed the issue of the kilt in fashion! We decided to let the designers run with it for a while, though, and, well, LESSON LEARNED. Because you give them some pleated fabric, and this is what they come up with, folks: a bizarre half-kilt, half-pant hybrid. For those times when you… no, you’re right, there IS no time when you’d need that, is there?

Oh, and boys? If you were feeling left out by Jean Paul Gaultier’s kilt-leg pants, don’t: Marc Jacobs has got you covered:

Fashion Police Glossary: The Foot Snatcher

kelly clarkson in too long trousers Fashion Police Glossary: The Foot Snatcher

The Foot Snatcher is a dangerous fashion criminal who gets his (or possibly her) kicks from depriving other people of theirs: in other words, the Foot Snatcher steals feet, so run, don’t walk – if you still can, that is!

Poor Kelly Clarkson, above, was a victim of the Foot Snatcher back in May 2009. As you can see, the Snatcher showed no mercy here and left Kelly’s pants trailing inches beyond where her feet would be, if she actually had any. It’s amazing she didn’t trip over those things!

The Foot Snatcher prefers to target celebrities, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us can consider ourselves safe:
