Did anyone else look at this image and think someone had thrown up all over this skirt? Or spilt something down it at least?
It’s actually embroidery, of course, but that side-tie doesn’t really help, does it? In fact, it makes it look like an apron. An apron someone has thrown up on.
You really don’t see it? Maybe we need more coffee. Or less coffee. Or to live in a world where people don’t pay over $1,000 to look like they’re wearing a soiled apron. One of those should work.
Alexander Wang and The Fashion Police haven’t always been the best of friends, but we must admit, with this bag, he’s managed to create an interesting shape without taking it too far into the realms of fashion-victim.
This is the small Emile tote, which makes us wonder what the large Emile tote must look like (Actually, we don’t have to wonder. You can buy it at Shopbop, and it doesn’t actually look much different from this one, despite being $100 more expensive). We like the straightforward shape, the metal feel and the solid feel of this bag, and we also like the fact that it’s available in a selection of colours. (Our favourite is the cream version shown above, which will go with everything).
We only have one quibble with this bag, and unfortunately it’s a big one. The price. Yes, this is $895 at Shopbop. Ouch. High street version soon, please?
Well, that’s what Kate Benjamin of Moderncat wants you to think, anyway. In a bid to dispel the idea of the crazy cat lady, Kate got together with friend and jeweller Heidi Abramson to create a range of jewellery made from the hair of our feline friends.
Kate says, “I started with a good grooming session with several of the cats, then I hand-rolled each ball of cat fur into a tight bead. By rolling the loose fur between your palms, the strands become felted together, forming a solid little bead. Heidi then transformed the beads using her silversmithing skills and her amazing eye for modern design and voil…!”
The good news, then, is that by “hairball” we’re talking about hair directly from the cat’s body, not hair that’s just been hacked up. The bad news is that it’s still cat hair.
What do you think, catladies? Something you’d buy?
By now you’ve probably all seen Prada’s “prosthetic leg” Mary Jane boots. Which is a bit of a shame, really, because they’re the kind of thing that, once seen, cannot be unseen. In fact, these will now be burned into our retinas for all eternity, and not even a healthy dose of eyeball bleach will save us.
Anyway, as these have appeared all over the internet, there’s not much for us to say about them, other than to reassure you all that these have gone straight to Fashion Police jail. They did not pass ‘Go’. They did not collect $200. They most certainly did not collect $1,400, which is what Net-a-Porter are threatening to retail them for. This is one of the most serious cases of Impostor Footwear we’ve ever seen, and we just don’t know how Prada thought they’d get away with it. Perhaps they thought we’d think they were ACTUAL legs?
And yet, fashion victims will still buy these, won’t they? Still, on the bright side, imagine what they’ll look like lying on the bedroom floor after a night of passion!
