Belly Buttons are the New Black

belly button dress Belly Buttons are the New Black

“Oh, what a shame,” you’re probably thinking. “This poor model forgot to fasten up the front of her dress! Still, at least she can just do up those buttons, and all will be well!”

BUT.

belly button dress 2 Belly Buttons are the New Black

There aren’t actually any buttons to put into the button holes. And that zip doesn’t go all the way up. You could always wear something under it, but to do that would be to ruin the “edgy” nature of the dress, and you wouldn’t want that, would you?

Basically, then, you’re stuck with flaunting your belly and breastbone every time you wear it. We wonder how long it’ll be before Keira Knightley shows up in it somewhere?

Ugly print pants by Ramzu Musa for Browns Focus

Ramzi Musa for Browns Focus leopard print silk harem trousers Ugly print pants by Ramzu Musa for Browns FocusLeopard print cropped harem pants – well there are 5 words that should never appear in a sentence together.  They’re not even what we would call leopard print, they’re just a garish multicoloured mix with some random black print on them.  Apparently those random black marks are trying to pass themselves off as leopard print but the Fashion Police are not taken in by that and we are therefore arresting them for crimes against fashion.

What do you think though?  Would you wear these trousers?  Would you wear this print on a different garment?  If you want to buy this particular example, bail is set at £195 and will be accepted at Browns.

Return of the saque back: as last seen in the 18th century!

Alessandra Rich cape back crepe gown Return of the saque back: as last seen in the 18th century!

Well, they say fashion is cyclical, but even we were surprised to see the saque back gown making a come back! 250 years ago, the French saque back was all the rage in the higher echelons of European society, with reams of pleated fabric falling from the shoulders to the floor, sometimes beyond.

In recent years, the closest we’ve come to replicating the look was a brief, shorter flirtation in the 60s – and, of course, the wedding train! Perhaps because we realised the enormous impracticality of dragging an excess of material around behind us…

But now, thanks to Alessandra Rich, you too can save the cleaners a chore and sweep up behind you! And all for a mere £1,560!

Buy the dress from Net-a-Porter.

John Galliano gives his side of the story

john galliano statement alleged racist attack John Galliano gives his side of the story

John Galliano has released a statement following his arrest last week, and subsequent sacking by Christian Dior. Here’s the statement in full:

“Since the events of last Thursday evening I have not been able to make any public comment on what took place based upon advice from my French lawyer. However, given the continuing delays at the French Prosecutor’s Office I should make my position clear.

I completely deny the claims made against me and have fully co-operated with the Police investigation.

A number of independent witnesses have given evidence and have told the Police that I was subjected to verbal harassment and an unprovoked assault when an individual tried to hit me with a chair having taken violent exception to my look and my clothing. For these reasons I have commenced proceedings for defamation and the threats made against me.

However, I fully accept that the accusations made against me have greatly shocked and upset people.

I must take responsibility for the circumstances in which I found myself and for allowing myself to be seen to be behaving in the worst possible light. I only have myself to blame and I know that I must face up to my own failures and that I must work hard to gain people’s understanding and compassion. To start this process I am seeking help and all I can hope for in time is to address the personal failure which led to these circumstances and try and earn people’s forgiveness.

I have fought my entire life against prejudice, intolerance and discrimination having been subjected to it myself. In all my work my inspiration has been to unite people of every race, creed, religion and sexuality by celebrating their cultural and ethnic diversity through fashion. That remains my guiding light.

Anti-Semitism and racism have no part in our society. I unreservedly apologise for my behaviour in causing any offence.”
