The 'Toe-G' - lingerie for the feet

2009-01-08T11:05:00+00:00

Now, we're not saying these are ugly, exactly. It's more that they provide a solution to a problem we genuinely didn't know existed: namely, what do you do when you want to go barefoot, but still look like you're wearing shoes? Maybe we just don't get out much, but this...

Matalan starts selling online - but not shoes

2009-01-08T09:04:00+00:00

The December holidays made us miss this at first, but for the benefit of those of you who didn't already know, budget retailer Matalan have become the latest store to answer The Fashion Police's prayers and launch a transactional website AT LAST. Sadly, it's not all good news: there appears...

Temperley London's Golden Apple - a handbag from a fairytale

2009-01-07T18:35:00+00:00

OK, so it'll be too sweet to be wholesome as far as some of you are concerned, but hey, it's January: the days are dark and gloomy, summer is still a long way away, and if you're looking for something whimsical to brighten your days, well, how about this straight-out-of-a-fairtytale...

Bubblewrap Wedding Dress: just what it sounds like

2009-01-07T17:22:00+00:00

Bubblewrap. We don't know about you, but it's exactly what we've always imagined walking up the aisle in on our wedding day. And once the ceremony's over, all the guests can get together and, you know, pop us. Bonus! Of course, we jest. And we really hope the company who...

Possibly the scariest shoes ever. EVER.

2009-01-07T16:02:00+00:00

Found by the fabulous Daddy Likey, who, in turn, found them on eBay. We're weeping here, seriously. Now, clearly The Fashion Police have seen a lot of shoes in our time, and some of them have been pretty hideous. We have to say, though, that if we were walking down...

Wear or Die: Holes

2009-01-07T14:05:00+00:00

Wear or Die has been on hiatus for a few weeks, but after yesterday's Porthole Sweater, we couldn't resist investigating the phenomenon of "clothes with holes" a little further, and after taking these two outfits into custody, well, it was only natural that we'd think to ourselves, "Hey! What if...

Roland Mouret's £577 bodysuit

2009-01-07T12:07:00+00:00

As regular readers are doubtless aware, The Fashion Police are big Roland Mouret fans, so when first we laid eyes on this little number over at Net-a-Porter , we were ever so slightly taken aback, believing, as we did, that it was supposed to be worn exactly as shown. Then,...

Wanted! Norma Kamali's retro swimsuits

2009-01-07T10:04:00+00:00

At around about this time every year, The Fashion Police are thrown into confusion as the stores start filling up with a steady trickle of spring/summer wear (And is it just us, or is that happening earlier every year now?) and even although the weather at the HQ remains icy,...

Splitting Toes: Irregular Choice's 'Tippy Toe' split toe court shoes

2009-01-06T18:02:00+00:00

Split-toe shoes. They always cause controversy here at The Fashion Police, with some of you arguing that they're just the same as Japanese Tabi, and therefore totally beyond reproach, and others saying that you don't really care what they're "inspired by", they look mighty uncomfortable and you'd never wear them....

The Hood Thong: for those days when you just have to have a hood on your thong...

2009-01-06T16:04:00+00:00

No, we have no idea why either. The designers admit it's not in full production yet, but say they are accepting orders, so your dream of owning a thong with a hood can be realised, folks! Just click here to place your order then proceed in an orderly fashion to...

Completely Pointless Items of Clothing: The Air Vent Top

2009-01-06T14:11:00+00:00

Maybe we've been slightly premature in referring to this top as "completely pointless" in the title, here. After all, if you had more than one head, you'd probably find it very practical indeed, on account of all of those extra head holes. Or if, say, you lived in a very...

Giving new meaning to the phrase "body conscious"...

2009-01-06T12:06:00+00:00

If, like us, your abs finished 2008 looking a little less ripped than the way they started it, courtesy of all that lovely Christmas food, this dress is probably your worst nightmare. Actually, on second thoughts: forget the freakin' abs. Let's just say that if you're anything like us, this...

Star Bride Style Wars: Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson at the Bride Wars New York premiere

2009-01-06T11:49:26+00:00

Their movie is called "Bride Wars", so naturally The Fashion Police couldn't resist starting a Star Style War between Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, particularly when the two actresses turned up wearing very different styles to the film's New York premiere last night. Kate went the traditional red (or green,...

High Waisted Tartan Shorts from Topshop: do not want

2009-01-06T10:08:00+00:00

You may not think it, but over the course of 2009, The Fashion Police learned to like, if not exactly to love, a few items of clothing that we'd previously always considered to be crimes of fashion. We learned, for instance, to like high waists on certain items of clothing....

Dress of the Day: Zac Posen's 'Cove' satin dress

2009-01-05T18:19:00+00:00

We know the party season is over at last, and it's time to put away the sequins and stilettos for another year (What, you weren't wearing sequins and stilettos?), but we thought we may as well start the New Year with a bit of a bang, so here's Zac Posen's...
