Well, would you look at that: Miu Miu include wide leg, polka dot pants in theor Resort 2011 collection, and the next thing you know, everyone’s doing them. Well, New Look and Topshop are, anyway. If Miu Miu jumped in the fire, would you jump too, guys? Huh? HUH?
New Look have actually replicated the Miu Miu spot a little more little more literally than Topshop, who’ve gone for a small dot, and a wider leg, which almost leaves them looking like a maxi skirt. We’ve seen the New Look trews in store, and can confirm they’re nicer than they look in this image, although at first glance we did think, “Hey, why’ve they got pyjamas amongst the normal clothes?”, which may not be the reaction you’d be hoping for. (Or maybe it would, of course. Would they pass the “Tesco Test“, though, we wonder?)
What do you think? Could you make these work, or would they leave you feeling like an off-duty clown? Click here to buy the New Look pair, and here for the Topshop versions, if so?
We are rather partial to an over the knee boot here at Fashion Police HQ, and even more so if Mr Louboutin has had a hand in making it. These are in a gorgeous purple suede and have a lovely rounded toe – the perfect winter boots? Sadly these are not destined to become ours, given that the price tag is a whopping £1293.81, but if you can afford them they are available from Saks Fifth Avenue.
Ok, just for once let’s skip over the impracticalities of a crochet belt, the thigh-widening pockets and the elasticated ankles, and cut straight to the “crotch” of the matter (*groan* – pun entirely intended!). Because we’re just wonderin’, who exactly looks at a pair of trousers like these and thinks “Oh, yeah, the ‘wet myself’ look – I’m all about that this season!”
If loss of bladder control is your thing, you can pick these up from Miss Selfridge for £35.00.
Polka dots! By now you all know of The Fashion Police’s fondness for this particular print, so we were pleased to see Marc Jacobs provide us with plenty of it in his Fall 2011 collection. We’re just not sure about the decision to use it on a strange, pyjama suit. Hmm.
As for the collection itself, however, well, we see some hits and some misses: pretty typical MJ, then. What do you think?
The BRIT Awards are the UK’s equivalent of the Grammys, and for some reason, they’re held on the same week as the Grammys this year too, which once more prompts us to think, “WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE FASHION POLICE?” Our officers are stretched to the limit here, for goodness sake!
Actually, this is a smaller collection of suspects than usual, because for some reason our image agency decided to cut a lot of people’s legs off (Note: not literally), and we also figured you wouldn’t know who most of them were. Because we didn’t, and we live here.
Anyway, you know the drill: look at the gallery, identify your hits and misses!
We’ll have some more photos from last night’s BRIT Awards up soon (we’re still rounding up the suspects, fingerprinting them, etc), but while you’re waiting, here’s Eliza Doolittle showing us that the mullet dress is not prepared to loosen its grip on the red carpet. This one has come disguised as a psychedelic chicken, but we weren’t fooled.
Eliza did almost manage to distract us with the shoes, though. We’ll be taking those into our protective custody, if you don’t mind, Ms Doolittle…
As you all know, The Fashion Police try to avoid getting involved in matters relating to what people wear in the privacy of their own homes. It’s out of our jurisdiction.
This advert, however, appears to suggest that it’s entirely appropriate to wear an adult onesie to “the ball game” and in other public places.
This is why civilisation is doomed.
Watch and learn, people. (Also, look out for the big selling point: you don’t have to remove it to use the bathroom! Er, yeah.)
