My next door neighbour is a genius with a knitting machine. That’s not an exaggeration, he really is. He’s called Mark Fast and he makes the most beautiful cobwebby skin-tight dresses. They perfectly follow the contours of the body, they’re a bit goth and very, very hot. And not just because they’re full of holes so are pretty much see-through. They’re so gorgeous it’s unbelievable. He’s going to be massive – he’s already stocked in Browns and has won New Gen sponsorship at the next London Fashion Week. Read more »

I have just been invited to yet another ’80s-themed fancy dress party. Original, no?
Despite the fact that the 1980s have been worn more ragged than Boy George’s anus, most of my friends are still determined to dress up like twats from Saved By The Bell and grope strangers to Tears for Fears.
Well, fuck them. There’s a recession on – it’s time to move on. It’s time to get ’90s. Below is a jaw-droppingly useful list of potential ’90s costumes to bust out next time you get invited to an ’80s fancy dress party. Read more »

I’m not normally in to sex shops, but what with everyone always wearing the same old shit I figured I’d go along to one to see what clothes-esque things I could pick up. It’s a double whammy anyway: people can’t copy my style and it’s going to massively improve my sex life.
The leather skirt above is where is all started – sex shop chic for just £24.99. By the way, the zip goes all the way down. I like that.
I had a few friends over the other night and started showing off about how good all this stuff is. One thing led to another… and this is what happened. Read more »

Actually, the title should be “Kat and Sonia attempt an American Apparel ad because they got way too drunk on cheap bubbly and the only thing they could come up with before going out in Paris was to throw on a body suit and sweater from American Apparel and take photos lying on the kitchen floor”. That didn’t have quite the same ring to it though. Anyway, see below for the rest of the pictures.
PS: This is also an introductory post to let you know that I’ve been forced to go to Paris for men’s fashion week, where I will be practicing my paparazzi skills when taking pictures at fashion parties that ban cameras, attempting to catch the Olsen twins making out with each other and trying out the champagne and vodka diet for four days straight. Should be fun. Check in for updates. Read more »

Being a girl can be shit, especially when our body decides to punish us for not being a dumb skank by haemorrhaging every month. During this special time we end up eating painkillers all day like a cry-for-help self-medicator. What else? Sex is cancelled (it’s not like we expect anyone to go down on us), family members get pissed about un-flushed blood-tissues (yeah, because what you put in the toilet’s fucking gorgeous) and every time we hand a box of tampons over to the 16-year-old at Sainsbury’s acts like there’s sexual energy passing between us, (yes I have a vagina, yes you have a dick, no it’s not going to happen, I’m buying a vaginal doorstop, not chocolate body paint). The only good to come out of the whole mess, other than an unfertilized egg, is being able to wear period knickers.

Mina Kurunis, 22, assistant manager at Brick Lane Thrift Store
Vice: Can you tell us about your oufit?
Mina: Well, it’s all a bit mish-mash as I woke up late for work. I’m wearing my six-year-old All Stars, some whitewash jeans from Urban Outfitters, a Beavis and Butthead T-shirt from a Charity Shop, and a jacket from Brick Lane Thrift Store. Read more »

Akiko sings in Pre, drums in The Big Pink, sings and drums in Comanechi, and is always out, looking amazing.
Don’t waste your money and time on clothes, make-up and hair – just fake it, steal it, cut it, smudge it and mess around. I love fashion, but I never spend too much money and time on it. Simply because I can’t afford to. I still love designer clothes, though. I wish I could own some. Read more »

E4’s Skins is returning soon. In celebration of this, I went along to ask the show’s costume designer, Edward Gibbon, how he feels the pretexts for Israel’s recent actions were laid by the infinitely less successful actions in Lebanon in 2006. Of course I didn’t, retards. I asked him about fashion. Edward is bombarded online with questions about who’s wearing what and where it’s from so I tried to get him to give me some insight into his choice of wardrobe for the cast.

Boys are a very simple species with tiny, uncomplicated brains – which means it’s pretty easy to figure out why they do the things they do and like the things they like. In terms of style, it seems that most boys choose their clothes based on what they think will most likely get them laid and what will make them feel most comfortable. Not that that’s a bad thing. We like it when you adorn your peculiar little angular bodies with stuff that makes us want to sleep with you. We’re horny too. Here are a few things I think boys think are cool. Read more »
