For those of you who love Henry Holland, but can't quite make your budget fit his prices, at least you know you can always afford a pair of his tights. The designer has created a range of Pretty Polly tights, which are being sold exclusively at Selfridges in London, for the next two weeks. Two of the styles are shown above, and others have already been seen on Pixie Geldof and – yes, you guessed it – Agyness Deyn.

We're not sure about the tights, but we have to say, we're in love with the packaging:

Some good fashion news to get us all through the Hump Day… WWD reports today that Rodarte will be the next brand to design a range for Target's Go, International label. According to WWD, "The 55-piece Rodarte line for Go International will launch at most Target stores nationwide and on target.com on Dec. 20, and will be available through Feb. 6.  Prices for the collection will range from $9.99 for knee-highs to $79.99 for a leopard print jacket."

We don't expect the line will bear any resemblance AT ALL to the Rodarte pieces shown above, but hey, you never know…

Are you ready to start thinking about Autumn fashion yet? No, we’re not either. But with the world of fashion always operating one season ahead, think about it we must, so here’s a quick look at Primark’s Fall collection, which generally gives us a good idea of what a large percentage of the UK population will be wearing – and what eBay sellers will be profiting on.

Some of these pieces will be available in store now, but you’ll have to wait until September/October for others. Prices are what you’d expect from the Polyester Palace, around £15 for dresses, £12 for tops and £22 for shoes – which you can see in more detail over at Shoeperwoman.

You’ll find some more images under the jump – don’t forget to tell us what you think!

For those of you unfamiliar with the name, Lakeside is a large mall in Essex, England. They've just conducted a poll to try and work out what the UK's worst fashion crimes are, and here's what they found:

1. Showing off a flabby midriff 61%

2. Shell suit tucked into socks with trainers 47%

3. Showing G-string above the jeans 36%

4. Socks with sandals 33%

5. Sporting a builder's bum 27%

6. A ‘muffin top’ over low cut jeans 22%

7. Head to toe animal print 22%

8. A mullet hair cut 16%

9. Head to toe Burberry check 15%

10. Wearing black shoes with white socks 14%

What do you think, readers: do you agree with these?

You have to admit, this is pretty creative, no?

Aimee Kick from Missouri, US, spent a month creating this dress, which is made completely from coffee filters, for her senior prom at Francis Howell North High School. The 18-year-old aspiring fashion designer spends a lot of time at coffee shops and has become known locally as the "the girl with a coffee cup". Although presumably now she'll be known as "the girl in the coffee dress".

It ended up a whole lot nicer than some prom dresses we've seen, too. Two more photos under the jump…

When you're a fashion designer attending a party to celebrate your label's 20th anniversary, we guess you're allowed to wear an outfit that makes your body look like a giant purple face if you want to.

Happy 20th anniversary, Lulu Guinness!

We may not actually be a real police force (sorry to burst anyone's bubble, there), but that doesn't mean the Fashion Police don't exist, and as longtime readers of this site may remember, the police force in Flint, Michigan, are only too happy to turn their hands to fashion policing, if it means they get to arrest people in saggy pants. Yes, wearing saggy pants has actually been outlawed in Flint, and now it's being reported that the force there have issued this handy guide to help people stay on the right side of the law: or to help their pants stay on the right side of the butt, as the case may be.

It's wrong that we were amused by the word "crackdown" in the headline, isn't it?
