When crazy becomes passe

February 3rd 2010 07:14
Anyone who watches the Grammys knows that the fashion choices there are meant to be a bit left of centre. This year was no different: we saw giant puffy arm ornaments, Britney Spears without any pants, and dresses that were half-mini, half-maxi (worn by Jennifer Lopez - no surprise, and designed by Versace - hmmmm). And of course, Rihanna in her fashion-forward frocks and Lady Gaga rocking the weirdest looks she could find, because hey, she's Lady Gaga and that's what she does. But rather than being inspired by the symbolism of the wacky outfits, or even amused by the absurdity of Grammys fashion, I found myself feeling rather.... numb to it all. The apparently 'crazy' outfits had become dull, tedious, and boring. And it got me thinking - at what point does the crazy become passe?

Vivienne Westwood goes derelicte

January 29th 2010 02:10
Menswear is not my forte, however I just couldn't resist posting some pics from Vivienne Westwood's Fall 2010 Men's Collection, which was presented at Milan Fashion Week earlier this month. Inspired by society's down-and-outs, Westwood lined the catwalk with cardboard boxes and sent her faux-filthy models out wearing a variety of ensembles that included (but were not limited to) ill-fitting shiny jackets, jeans tucked into football socks, torn leggings, kilts, poorly tailored suits and random bits of fur.

Given that 2010 has only just begun, it's a big call to say that I've already identified its tackiest trend. But let's be real for a minute here: how much tackier can you get than having your underwear on show for all the world to see? I'm sure that designers like Christopher Kane, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, and Jean Paul Gaultier had a classier interpretation in mind when they first introduced their boudoir-inspired collections in 2009, but unfortunately certain celebrities have latched onto the trend and morphed it into something else entirely. It seems that for some, it's just another excuse to have their knickers on display, and worst of all is that this trend has been tagged by multiple sources as being the hottest look of the season.

Paris Hilton? Tacky? Surely not.

You wouldn't believe it if I told you, so here's the photographic evidence: Lindsay Lohan has attended a post-Golden Globes shindig looking absolutely amazing! Her skin was clear and glowing and her eyes luminous as she showed off a fabulous hooded, long-sleeved minidress from designer Brian Lichtenberg.

Jimmy Choo... and UGG?

January 19th 2010 23:18
Now this is definitely one for the "wtf?" files - legendary shoe designer Jimmy Choo will be joining forces with none other than UGG Australia! It's probably the strangest collaboration since LiLo and Ungaro (and we all know how well that worked out) but Jimmy Choo's president Tamara Mellon believes that the Chugg designs will be nothing short of a rip-roaring success.

Okay, so they won't be called 'Chugg'. I made that up.

The talented and super-stylish Emma Watson has reprised her role as the face of Burberry. These latest shots, from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection, showcase Watson in a classic trench coat with a very modern touch (check out the shoulders!) and a beautifully draped, belted taupe dress. She's joined by One Night Only musician George Craig and a particularly striking male model, who just so happens to be her younger brother Alex.

The designer who denied the Gaga

January 2nd 2010 10:29
Antonio Berardi certainly isn't one to mince words. "I wasn't interested in someone whose music is meaningless," said the Italian designer, when asked why he knocked back the opportunity to collaborate with the now ultra-famous pop singer Lady Gaga. "Her music is meaningless now, so what impact will it have in 20 years?"

Splat.

January 1st 2010 08:59
Now this is a style that is not particularly on trend, but is definitely a personal favourite of mine. Probably because no-one else is wearing it (yet). It's the paint splatter, or the ink blot, or simply splat. Less obvious than the now-ubiquitous tie dye, and yet still symbolic of a bygone era. Retro, without being too boho. Quirky, fun, and always unique because like the girls who wear it, no two paint splatters will be the same.

Love it!

Celebrityland had its fair share of fashion disasters in the early part of 2009 - as Part One of this list will attest - but they were by no means the worst of the year! Here are five more celebrity outfits that left good taste by the wayside.
