Remember the Comme des Garcons brain jacket we arrested last month?
Here are the shorts to match, so you can wear an inflatable brain on your crotch, as well as on your torso. Yes, they’re shorts, not a skirt. Comfortable looking, no?
Could someone please, PLEASE wear these two items together? It would make our day.
(Lady Gaga? Amber Rose? Rihanna? Someone has to be willing to do this, surely?)

If you’ve been reading this site for a long, long, time, you’ll already know that we hate holiday sweaters.
And actually, even if you’ve only been reading this site for a short, short time, it’s the kind of thing you could probably have worked out for yourselves, isn’t it?
As well as straying deeply into Dress Like a Toddler territory, most holiday sweaters are garish, ugly, and very much the kind of thing children’s TV presenters used to wear back in the 80s. None of this bodes well.
Now, however, the holiday sweater is a fashion statement. We know this, because designers have started to make them, and as every good fashion victim knows, if it has a designer label in it, it must be good. The one above is by Andrea Crews, is £219, and we suspect has been created with a heavy dose of irony: we hope so, anyway. “Look!” the sweater seems to say. “I’m a reindeer with a snowman on my head! And I’m wearing those hideous Christmas themed earrings some women love so much. Could I BE any more ridiculous?”
(Yes, in our minds, the reindeer speaks just like Chandler Bing. We know not why.)
Ironic or not, though, the question is, would you buy it? Click here if so…

If, like us, you’re looking eagerly at this Prada velvet dust bag expecting a beautiful purse to emerge from within, you’re in for a bitter disappointment. Unfortunately, all the Prada bag you can expect is, in fact, this drawstring number. Which is pretty enough, we grant you – but possibly not worthy of its £522 price tag. Even if the fabric in question is velvet…
Prada small fabric bag: £522 from yoox.com.

Lord knows this is a minor gripe compared to some fashion issues we could mention, but can anyone explain to us why you’d want to wear a pair of cosy, wool tights… which leave your calves totally bared to the elements? Are calves the new armpits? Do they have a tendency to get really warm, while the rest of the legs remain cold?
Further to that: why would you want to pay $79 to bare them to the elements?
Answers on a postcard (or in the comments box if it’s easier…).
