happy new year Happy New Year to all our readers

It’s not quite New Year yet, of course, but as we don’t normally post on the weekends, we thought we’d just take this opportunity to say Happy New Year to all our readers, and to thank you for your support over the past year. Thanks for reading, and may 2012 be as full of fashion crimes as 2011 was!

Take care, have fun, and we’ll see you all in 2012!

2011: A Fashion Retrospective

As 2011 prepares to pack its fashionable bags and make way for its successor, we will remember the year just gone for…

1. The Blogger Bun

Sometimes it was small, and scraped back from the head, like a DIY facelift. And sometimes it was big, and messy, like a whole second head. The blogger bun reigned supreme throughout 2011: what will take over in 2012?

Crime of Fashion? Sass & Bide Printed Pear One Shoulder Dress

sass and bide dress Crime of Fashion? Sass & Bide Printed Pear One Shoulder Dress

We just spent way too much time trying to work out exactly what type of accident would result in this Sass & Bide dress ending up looking… well, like this.

Giant inkpot? Attacked by the Clothes Ripper?  Model forced to wade through tar, while wearing just half a dress? WHAT? And, more importantly, did whatever happened here result in this dress becoming a Crime of Fashion? We say yes: what about you?

Daylight Robbery: The $2000 baseball cap

wool hat Daylight Robbery: The $2000 baseball cap

This is $2000.

OK, it’s not: it’s actually “only” $1944.44. Because that makes ALL the difference, doesn’t it?

Why is this hat almost $2000?

Er, ya got us. Our best guess is “Because it’s OMGGIVENCHY.” But if you have some other explanation for why in the wide world anyone would want to pay that much money for a hat with ears, we’d love to hear it.

We’re all ears, in fact.

(Geddit? “All ears”? Oh, never mind…)

Wear or Die: KTZ Edition

wear or die2 Wear or Die: KTZ Edition

So, we know it’s the week before Christmas, and the very LAST thing you want to do is slip into the ugliest outfit in the Fashion Police jail and hit the town in it. We know that. It’s too bad, though, because this is Wear or Die, and obviously you’re not going to die for the sake of fashion, so we’re afraid you’re going to have to pick one of the two options above to wear. Them’s the breaks.

Here’s how it works:

1. You must choose one outfit from the two shown above, to wear in public.

2. The outfit must be worn exactly as it’s shown in the image: no modifications allowed!

3. Death is not an option.

Will you be the high fashion version of Where’s Waldo, or will you be The Girl Who Went Out in Nowt But a Raggedy Shirt?

Which would you choose?

(Both outfits are available to buy here.)

We wish we had a REAL gift for all of our readers, but as we don’t, we hope you’ll accept this virtual one instead…

As usual, we’re taking a few days off over the next few days, which means you’re all free to dress as badly as you like, without fear of arrest. We hope you have a wonderful holiday, whatever you’re wearing, and we’ll be back soon to share more crimes of fashion with you!

The Ugliest Dresses of 2011

ugly dresses fashion police The Ugliest Dresses of 2011

As we continue our look back at the worst fashion of the year just gone (or just about to go, rather), we come to one of the worst criminals of all: the ugly dress.

2011 was a good year for dresses in some ways. The revival of the midi dress, the popularity of skater styles and the continuing influence of shows like Mad Men and Pan Am made for some really great styles.

Then there were the rest.

Sadly, the Boob Window and Shress were repeat offenders on the dress scene this year, and we took more see-through dresses with gaping holes at the most inconvenient places into custody than you had hot dinners. Probably.

Our old enemy, the Sack Dress, also made a return to prominence in 2011, forcing its shapeless, unflattering self onto models everywhere. Thankfully, we’ve yet to see much evidence of the sack dress in real life, but don’t worry, we’re keeping a close eye on the situation.

But enough of this talk: you just want to see some ugly dresses, don’t you? Well, here they are – and if you need the product details (we can’t imagine why you would, but you never know), you’ll find them all here.
