Horrors of Fashion

This is…pretty. But also horrible. Even that rail thin model looks bulky in this sparkly monstrosity. And it’s literally called the “Window Pane Bustier Dress In Pink.”
I can’t deny I have a weakness for the Barbie-pink shininess, though.

Some pretty spectacular horrors from Beyond the Rack. I can’t remember the brand and the event is over now, but I couldn’t just not post these.

So, what’s going on here? Is that lace sleeve part of this boot? Is the boot wearing a veil? Is that a Lucite drinking glass acting as a heel? Is it just a drinking glace placed behind the boot? And am I wrong, or does this boot actually have a camel toe? In writing this post I discovered there’s a website called “camel foot photos”, which is actually photos of actual camel’s feet. Safe search does not always keep you safe.

“You know what would be great?”
“What?”
“If I, Christian Louboutin, took one of my old designs, glued fish-netting and pouff balls all over it, and told people I thought it was cool. I bet lots of people would still buy it.”
“HA! An hilarious joke, Christian! Why don’t you stick some feathers on there too, just to make it extra ridiculous!”“Brilliant, Lackey! This is the best joke since Danielle Steele became my biggest client!”
[ed. note: obviously this entire conversation happened in French.]

Maybe it’s just me and my abiding hatred for raffia, but this is not a pretty sight. I don’t want a purse that looks like a grass skirt, even if it does have some jewels sewn on for good measure.

This shoe is wearing a catcher’s mask.
I don’t understand anything any more.

Missoni fall 2012

I’m excited to share this with you. You may remember this horror. We have found its parent.  I honestly cannot believe that the good folks at Louis Vuitton did not design this purse as some sort of Star Wars tribute. Really, this is not a horror of fashion, but a triumph. Rejoice. And again, click here, if you dare.
