Frock Horror of the Week

Frockhorror_2

Thanks to Fashion Addict Diary for this week's Frock Horror of the Week.  This is space age for fashion or taking the whole Clockwork Orange concept to the extreme or... just another very ugly (not to mention totally unpractical) design. I mean, I can't picture myself popping down the shop to pick up the paper or even trying to fit through my front door in one of these get-ups. Still, you have to give the designer credit for innovation even if he may have watched one too many episodes of Futurama.

Frock Horror of the Week - Comments

  • Miranda

    Actually, it was featured in US Vogue and seemed to be thought of as wearable.

  • Hi Gemma,

    The whole of the last section of Hussein's show was composed of these trtansformation dresses, and can be seen in action in this Youtube video I snagged for my own Fashion journal here :-

    It is worth watching for anyone who didn't get to see these dresses in motion....

  • Fair enough. back to camo gauchos and sick coloured overalls next week then...

  • Tori

    I agree with the other girls. This piece of Fashion artwork from Hussein Chalayan is amazing. The panels are actually solar powered and revolve to releal another design.



    This is definitley not a "Frock Horror", which should be reserved for plaid leggings and the sort.

  • Heh, I was wondering where I'd seen that before...



    I think it's pretty clear that noone would actually wear that, that's not the purpose for which it was designed? I think Frock Horror should be kept to those items which are meant to be worn in earnest and are just in very bad taste. And ugly.
