House Of Holland: For The Neon & Tron-Loving Exhibitionist in You

Dodai — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:40:00 EDT

If the dress code where you work is very relaxed, then you're going to love what '80s enthusiast Henry Holland showed yesterday in London for his House Of Holland spring 2010 collection. In a word: Nipple-centric!

Do you work inside of the movie Tron? Then this little suit is perfect for you. Although the top is also reminiscent of Regina's tank in Mean Girls. Areola chic!

This buckled denim dress is one of the more wearable pieces in the collection. Not pretty, but wearable.

Powersuit! With tiny houses on it. Get it? Like House of Holland?

Perhaps purple — with shorts — is more your steez.

Love the layering. But. The. Pantslessness. Must. Stop.

More buckles, more denim. This was resurrected from a Debbie Gibson photo shoot, no?

This is actually quite cute. Not terribly inventive, but cute. The houses make me think of Monopoly.

Paging Chuck Bass. Chuck Bass to the courtesy phone, please.

Why should the ladies have all the ridiculousness? Guys need a good LOL too.

Well of course he needs a sweater. That shirt has holes in it.

Cruella de Vil chic?

Imagine showing up to your office in this, like, What? I have a date later!

Or maybe this little number is for popping over to the drugstore? To pick up some floss.

Little Boots was there!

Henry Holland and Agyness Deyn are BFF, btw.

The designer and his "bridal" look. This dress is actually incredibly beautiful… But sure to make your pastor blush.

To Splurge, Or To Steal? For Teen Vogue, There Is No Question

Moe — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:30:00 EDT

Pretty much every women's fashion magazine these days seems to have a Splurge vs. Steal feature, in which ensembles featured on the catwalks of Milan and New York are interpreted for the purposes of so-called "real life." But leave it to Teen Vogue to put its own special spin on this idea! See, for the readership of most magazines, "real life" does not involve having the disposable income to fund the actual D&G plaid coat! (Or, for that matter, the Marni fur backpack with which to dress it "down.") Not for Teen Vogue's readership — nothing less than "authentic" will do! After the jump, the magazine's August issue interprets fall fashions in ways that actual teenagers can emulate.

Okay, I'll admit it. The Teen Vogue way to wear this plaid D&G trench coat, which is not priced and probably won't be in stores until the temperature drops below 95, looks a lot more fun than the "run"-way. Maybe because the D&G way is…well…for starters, orange is a bad color for eyeshadow and…it looks like it was styled by the department of the Pentagon that conceives all the propaganda in charge of turning Americans against people wearing headscarves. (Or wait, Victoria Clarke!)

Behold: the punk pencil skirt, brought to you by Marc Jacobs. Everyone knows how Marc Jacobs invented grunge, but not everyone realizes he was one of the co-founders of punk as well. That is why his plaid at $238 is so affordable compared to Dolce & Gabbana's; he wants the kids to be able to pair his pieces with their $230 vintage T-shirts and $296 "Blue Blood" backpacks! He is like Ian McKaye in that way.

These are my personal faves. Doesn't it look like she just stepped out of a 1992 Mandee? Well except for the top part, which probably would have been a bodysuit. And she should probably be wearing a choker. I can't find a price tag on these House of Holland pants but their their website makes me want to kill myself.

London's Calling, And It Sounds (Er, Looks) Wonderful

Our intense agony over not being in London is only further aggravated after seeing the beyond divine showings on Wednesday. There was Diane von Furstenberg's creative director Nathan Jenden, who showed a superb high architectural collection built in black and white (image at left). Prodigal son Matthew Williamson brought high Bohemia back to his motherland after a 5-year period of exile in New York, and ol' timer Nicole Farhi went slightly tribal. Jens Laugesen and Rodnik, the up-and-comers, also but forth strong, bold and modern lines. The only loser in our eyes? House of Holland. The clothes were ugly, so much so that they managed to make the models look fat. Images of all, after the jump.
