Modelling is Hard: Menswear Edition
The Creepiest Shirt in the World: official
“Oh, look!” we thought. “Net-a-Porter has started showing some of the clothes on headless mannequins! How weird!”
Folks, that’s not a mannequin. And it’s thankfully not a model with her head missing.
Those are gloves.
And they’re attached to the sweater.
We have SO MANY QUESTIONS HERE:

The Plucked Ostrich Sweater
Last winter, the trend was lots of fur, feathers, and basically anything else that would drive home the point that you were wearing a dead animal on your body.
This year, however, it’s far cooler to look like you’re STILL wearing that animal, but it’s starting to look a little the worse for wear, hence the “plucked bird” effect.
What do you think: cosy and cute, or just… a little bit sad?

The Holiday Sweater Gets a Fashion Makeover, Courtesy of Andrea Crews
If you’ve been reading this site for a long, long, time, you’ll already know that we hate holiday sweaters.
And actually, even if you’ve only been reading this site for a short, short time, it’s the kind of thing you could probably have worked out for yourselves, isn’t it?
As well as straying deeply into Dress Like a Toddler territory, most holiday sweaters are garish, ugly, and very much the kind of thing children’s TV presenters used to wear back in the 80s. None of this bodes well.
Now, however, the holiday sweater is a fashion statement. We know this, because designers have started to make them, and as every good fashion victim knows, if it has a designer label in it, it must be good. The one above is by Andrea Crews, is £219, and we suspect has been created with a heavy dose of irony: we hope so, anyway. “Look!” the sweater seems to say. “I’m a reindeer with a snowman on my head! And I’m wearing those hideous Christmas themed earrings some women love so much. Could I BE any more ridiculous?”
(Yes, in our minds, the reindeer speaks just like Chandler Bing. We know not why.)
Ironic or not, though, the question is, would you buy it? Click here if so…

Miharayasuhiro’s $873 sweater: distressing
Aww, man! Don’t you just HATE it when this happens? You get your £571 / $873 designer sweater home, and then the very first time you wear it, it starts to unravel on you! Gah.
Browns describe this as “distressed”. Well, it’s certainly distressed US all right, because seriously: even without the holes, WHO would pay almost $900 for an ordinary looking beige sweater? WHO?

Double the crime, double the price: TAO sweater with handbag detail
At first glance, we assumed this was a simple case of Stuck-Together-Clothes. Upon re-examination of the evidence, however, we’re just not convinced that the handbag stuck to the front of this sweater has any real function other than a decorative one, so we now have to conclude that it’s just ugly. (Which is kind of disappointing actually, because if it had been a handbag AND a sweater, that would have at least helped explain the $895 price tag. Double the crime, double the price, after all…)
Or is it?
We guess if you really like handbags – and this one in particular – you might find this the perfect way to demonstrate that love. To wear your handbag close to your heart, so to speak. And if you would, well, you better get yourself over to Colette quickly, before they sell out. Click here to buy this, or just click on the comments box to tell us what you think of it: up to you.
