Let’s have a fashion interlude — 19 Comments

  1. What’s with trousers being hemmed at ground level? Don’t these people have to trudge through snow, rain and mud like the rest of us? I have been seeing such lengths for a few months now in fashion magazines. Maybe they ride around in rickshaws, or just hover above the mess.

  2. That mismatched black pants outfit is definitely hanging in my closet, also badly needing hemming– and she has my hairstyle too! Hmm.?

  3. Michelle Monaghan’s outfit probably looked fine before that dove flew into it. And Bryce Dallas Howard would probably have looked cute if she didn’t need to wear that black support garment outside her dress.

  4. The orange dress makes the woman look pregnant.
    Is fashion designing what snowflakes do when they get out of school?

  5. I wonder if this vomitous explosion of individuality isn’t the problem. You notice how they’re all horrible in unique ways?
    What happened to “tasteful?”
    I think it died with common standards.

  6. Matt_SE,

    The country has been rushing to the lowest common denominator ever since baseball was no longer the national sport.

    Liz,

    I am with you, I have no idea who these women are or why anyone cares who they are.

  7. Well, that was all ugliness. Ugly models in ugly clothes. Why not look at something interesting, like the Babyghost line, with models Xiao and Jesse Stewart?

    My favorite model anywhere is Fei Fei Sun. There’s never been an Asian model on the cover of Vogue USA, though they appear on covers of Italian and Australian versions of the magazine. Uh, why?

    Also, my favorite male supermodel is David Gandy, who’s not exactly a prettyboy. He’s over 30 and looks like a badass.

    Those are my quick thoughts on fashion today.

  8. Some of those outfits remind me of a short science fiction story I read years and years ago. (It probably came out about the same time as “the sack” dress.)

    Aliens have secretly taken over our fashion industry, and are plotting to destroy us by discouraging us from breeding. The aliens know they have succeeded when they develop an outfit that repels a sailor, famous for his willingness to make love to any woman who will have him.

    (On a more pleasant note: I keep hoping that someone who knows something about fashion — for instance, neo — will take a look at Samantha Cameron’s choices in clothes. I’ve thought for some time that she had excellent taste, and a good sense of what worked for her — but I know so little about these things that I don’t trust my own judgement.

    Incidentally, she’s one of my favorite examples for understanding politicians through the choices they made for their spouses. George W. Bush married a school librarian; David Cameron married a womn in the fashion industry, and those choices tell us something about both men.).

  9. I could have found much nicer things at my local Goodwill Outlet at a tiny fraction of the price! (items there priced at $1.59/pound, and there are lots of designer dresses)

  10. The mismatched black could have looked decent with a better choice of jackets. That blazer is frumpy and poorly shaped.

  11. What perfect commentary on the liberal Hollywood elite. And a perfect match for the dysfunctional entertainment they purvey. Rome’s depravity* lives again. The consequential result of abandoning classical liberal principles and judeo/christian values.
    *Whoopi Goldberg recently on ‘the view’ compared the right to celebrate Christmas (religious freedom) with the right to kill the unborn, i.e. abortion.
