Heavens to Betsey! The designer’s dead! OK, no she isn’t, it’s just Betsey Johnson being her usual, exhuberant self. Isn’t it great to see designers who don’t seem to take themselves too seriously? The Betsey show is always a frothy, candy-coloured concoction, and this season was no exception: take a look under the jump to see some of the designs. Continue reading

We’re all for interesting and unusual hosiery (in fact, sometimes it’s the only thing that makes dull winter fashion bearable), and there’s no doubt that Bebaroque pretty much rule that particular field.
We’re just not sure, however, that we’d want our tights to have actual OBJECTS attached to them. Objects like the pearl bows on these otherwise plain black opaque tights, say. How would you wash them, for instance? (The tights, we mean, not the bows. We’re pretty sure the bows would look after themselves.) Are the bows removable? Wouldn’t they feel a bit odd, if you happened to brush your ankles together? Is ANY pair of tights worth paying £80 for? Or do you like the look of them so much that all of these questions become irrelevant?
If that’s the case, click here and have your £80 ready. In the meantime, we’ll just keep our £80, spend it on shoes, instead. What do you think of these, though?

Well, THIS should never have happened, should it?
This poor girl looks as shocked as if someone had just run up to her, quickly cut two large holes in her harem pants, and then run off again. That wouldn’t explain why she was wearing harem pants in the first place, of course, but it’s about the only reasonable explanation we can come up with for this … garment… which BooHoo describe as “split front leggings” and we describe as “Fashion Crime of the Week”.
BooHoo, indeed.

We might have been able to live with the rips. (Note: we probably wouldn’t have been, but let’s just pretend…) We might even have been OK with the duct tape. (OK, scratch that: we definitely wouldn’t have been OK with the duct tape). But when the combination of rips and tape make the jeans look so very ill-fitting and unflattering, as if the person who taped up the rips (which they just finished creating: oh, sweet irony!) paid no attention whatsoever to the way the jeans were hanging at the time, and just taped them up any old way, wrinkles and all?
Well, when that happens, we’re going to want our £468 back, please, Margiela. We can make jeans look like crap all by ourselves, thanks.

A quick look at some of the dresses we’ll doubtless be seeing on the red carpet sometime within the next few months.

New York isn’t the only city currently hosting fashion designers and scowling models, you know: Perth Fashion Week is also underway, and while there were no real surprises at the Wheels & Dollbaby show, that doesn’t mean we didn’t like it: in fact, if they could just box up the entire collection and ship it to us, that would be great.
Oh, and there were no scowling models, either. Well, not many, anyway… Continue reading
