Stylish with Substance

I love a good ruffle, but I think the key word there is "good". No one at Kate Spade noticed they should have halted production on this blouse, right, due to its "sad clown" nature.

While not the worst fashion ever, should one really dare sport this laughable top?

When a man wears tighty-whities on his lower region (where they supposedly belong) women don't exactly want to get their hands on it - it being said lower region.

So what's up with this totally $h!t pair of gloves (for men or women) on Fred Flare?

Ewww! I just cannot. I cannot. I cannot. Cannot.

Even stand to look at them. Hence the tiny thumbnail here. If you want to throw away $16, you can buy these, because that's how much they cost and they're totally trash.

Right when this buzzworthy Louis Vuitton bag hit the 'net, I was scrambling to fit in coverage of the late Alexander McQueen and what of NY Fashion Week I could, so my usual dissing of bad design had to wait. And wait past my flu. But I love critiquing design and publishing fug fashion more than runway shows, so without further ado...

In probable social commentary, Marc Jacobs has finally "done it"? with a possible reply to the Chanel hobo that resembled a trash bag.

Two thoughts:

1. Is the worse part the tell-tale orange cinch-tie, or the "Louis Vuitton" wording for the logo-addicted?

2. Buyer beware! We think this bag is an intended insult to those who'll carry anything with LVs - regardless of style. This "purse"  will signal any carrier as a fashion victim. Easily.

Unless you're an Olsen Twin. Ah, yes - it's so perfect for them, it might have been made for them to finally solidify their fashion status as hobos. We still think even they won't take that bait. ;-)

You too can have long white dreads under your Santa hat. Because nothing represents the North Pole like a Rastafarian, especially a really old one.

However if you love that rasta-aesthetic or just think this is too funny, it's available for purchase from Target.
