Frankenshoes: Maison Martin Margiela cut-out boots
The phrase “cut out boots” alone is always guaranteed to trigger The Fashion Police’s fug alarm, but these ones are actually even more bizarre than the name suggests. Witness:

Extreme sheer: YSL stretch-chiffon halterneck bodysuit
We’re a-hoping and a-praying that this bodysuit will only ever be used for purpose: as an underpinning for a backless halterneck dress. But that little shred of doubt loiters in the back of our minds, knowing, as we do, that the Lady Gagas of this world have so little respect for fit-for-purpose fashion…
Yves Saint Laurent certainly know how to relieve a fashionista of her hard-earned cash: this beauty will provide very little support a no coverage to speak of for the bargain price of £520.
You’d have to wear your backless halterneck an awful lot this summer to justify that cost per spend!
But yours from Net-a-Porter.

Christopher Kane’s ‘eye popping’ skirt
Net-a-Porter call this an “eye popping take on a ladylike design”. Well it’s certainly that alright, but we’re not sure we want our eyes popped quite that much. If you feel like you need sunglasses to look at your skirt, that’s probably a sign that it’s a bit too bright folks.
This is made of pleated leather, and the lace design has been laser cut which we suppose goes some way to justifying the £1,610 price tag. But where would you wear a neon yellow pencil skirt? If you have any ideas where to wear it, we’d love to know and you can buy it here.

Scary Shoes: Camilla Skovgaard Overlay Platform Sandals
THIS:
Reminds us of THIS:
Although, actually, that comparison isn’t very fair to the eagle, because the shoes actually look evil, whilst the bird just looks a bit stern. This makes us suspect the shoes are actually based on some kind of mythical beaked creature, the likes of which has never been seen on this earth.
We hope so, anyway. Because we certainly wouldn’t want to meet these on a dark night, that’s for sure.

Abercrombie & Fitch’s push-up bikini for kids causes controversy
Last year it was Primark. This year it’s Abercrombie & Fitch’s turn in the firing line over their push-up padded bikini tops for girls as young as 8 years old.
But while Primark backed down and removed their controversial bikinis from sale, Abercrombie & Fitch have defended their range, only agreeing to remove the term “push up” from the title in favour of the less incendiary “striped triangle”, but leaving the padded bikinis on sale.
Abercrombie & Fitch have a reputation for risque behaviour – whether provoked by their highly sexualised Back to School ad campaign in 2007 or their 2002 range of tweenage thongs bearing slogans including “wink wink” and “eye candy”, the company are no strangers to public outrage.
But is the public right to be outraged by such provocative garments? Or, as Abercrombie & Fitch argued in response to criticism in 2002, are the items in question simply cheeky and cute, placing the blame from any misrepresentation firmly in the eye of the beholder?
What do you think?
