See you next year!
Underwear as outerwear? Miss Sixty sheer panel corset dress
Believe it or not, this is not underwear you are looking at. It is, in fact, a denim dress. With sheer panels stuck in for no reason that we can fathom. Did we mention that the back of it is sheer too?

Y-3 Make Sweaters for the Fashion Jail Inmates
Well, isn’t that thoughtful? Y-3 have created a sweater we can hand out to our fashion criminals when we finally let them out of jail, 23 years later, so they can, er, boast about their incarceration. Well, we say “hand them out”: they’re £609 each, and if we spent that amount on a sweater, we’d be forced to arrest ourselves, so, needless to say, that won’t be happening.
If you want to pretend to have been in prison for 23 years, however, and you have £609 to spare, you can click here to buy one of these for yourself.

Shants: Alive and well at Miss Selfridge
We were rather hoping that the shants trend had gone off and died a horrible death, as we had not been unfortunate enough to clap eyes on any examples of it recently. Sadly, that has not proved to be the case and Miss Selfridge are attempting to revive the look for the new season, with this rather garish pair. They are 100% polyester so we can’t begin to imagine the static cling that will be in store for your legs if you succumb and buy a pair.
What do you think? Are leopard print shants the one thing missing from your spring wardrobe that will make all the difference next season? If so, you can buy these here for £45.

Irregular Choice ‘Low Level Danger’ shoes light up when you walk
“I flash!” proclaims this shoe, proudly.
“We’d much rather you didn’t, actually,” answer The Fashion Police, “Because we’ve seen this kind of thing before, you see, and we’ve arrested it every single time…”
Yes, this is another example of the shoe that lights up when you walk. Because obviously every other time that’s been done it’s been a huge success. That’s why you’re always seeing people walking around with light-up shoes. Oh no, wait, that doesn’t happen, does it? Because light-up heels tend to look ugly, and also because we’re not five years old any more.
Here’s a close-up of that heel:

Topshop Boutique knitted pants: Fashion Police confused
Topshop are selling these knitted pants. And that’s all they are prepared to say on the matter. There are no pictures of them styled with anything, no suggestions of what you would wear them with and nothing to say whether they are supposed to be underwear or outerwear. Just that they are high waisted, knitted black pants. Which we could kind of see for ourselves from the picture.
At £40 and with them being marked dry clean only, we have to assume that they are outerwear. But where would you wear them and with what? If you have an answer to that question then please let us know! And if you love them and want to buy them, you can find them here.

Unfinished Business: PROENZA SCHOULER’s three-quarter length dress
The Proenza Schouler team apparently took the terms “three quarter length” dress a little too literally here: looks like they got three quarters of the way through making it, then thought, “Ah, what the hell, let’s open a few beers instead!”
What’s strange about this is that three-quarters of the dress doesn’t mean three-quarters of the price, and this retails for £450: not bad for three quarters of a day’s work! Nice work if you can get it, guys, and if you can get it, well, you may as well just keep on doing it, and maybe even charge as much as £760 for it, no?

Modelling is Hard: Future Classics edition
This model looks confused. She’s wearing something described as a sleeveless waistcoat (surely it wouldn’t be a waistcoat, it would be a cardigan if it wasn’t sleeveless?), but that’s not what’s confusing her. Oh no. She’s just caught sight of her back view in the mirror.
Seems whoever knitted this got the pages stuck together in the pattern book and made half a waistcoat, half a v neck sweater. WIth a handy hole for your, er, back.
What do you think ? Do you want an open v neck on your back, or do you prefer your knitwear to be made from just the one pattern?
