Asymmetrical, sleeveless terry cloth wrap, $89.00 at Oak. I think we can all agree that this is just a nice towel with some holes cut out of it.  Right? View high resolution

Miniskirt by Sass and Bide, $190.00 at Shopbop. This skirt is called “Sunday’s Clown”, taking its title from the Velvet Underground song “All Tomorrow’s Parties”.  The song, which was inspired by the lifestyle of those in Andy Warhol’s Factory, describes a poor girl dressing up for the constant parties, only to return to her life of poverty when the night is over.  After dressing up in other people’s glamorous dresses, she once again becomes “Sunday’s clown,” in her rags.  This skirt costs nearly 200 dollars.  While it is raggedy, it is quite far from the image the song presents of the girl.  Maybe they did it on purpose as an elaborate prank on the consumer, calling them posers.  Perhaps they didn’t actually look at the meaning of the lyrics and thought it sounded cool.  Any reason, it is still a 200 dollar shredded skirt named for a song about a poor girl.

Cotton Pom Pom keyring by Lanvin, $235.00 at Net-a-Porter. If you thought that last post was a poor attempt to use up all the scraps from other designs, then you are in for a treat.  This pom pom key chain takes shreds of fabric, presumably from actual designs, ties them in a ball, and sticks them on a metal keyring.  Viola, three hundred bucks of fashion.
