Someone at Vogue is hell bent on reinventing Hammer Pants:
V1113
V1116
V8588
There are a couple cute ones:
This shirtwaist dress is adorable, and perfect for my body type.
I love the lines on this Divine Details dress
And I'm a sucker for cool neck detail like this empire waist dress.
Now, I have problems seeing past my own body type, so I'm sure there is some other stuff in there for non-pears, but otherwise, I've never seen so much fugly in one release. I mean do we really need to bring back the caftan!!! ------ "Creativity is the residue of time wasted." Albert Einstein.

Date: 3/31/09 11:37 PM It's official, the '80s are back. First my daughter comes home with leg warmers and a neon, spatter paint belt and now I see Vogue is reinventing the asymmetrical look and hammer pants. ------ "If you can't afford to buy art, you wear it." - Michael Kors

Date: 4/1/09 0:01 AM 1116 is just bizarre. I sort of like 1112, though, and a couple of the new tunics. ------ I rip what I sew. |

Date: 4/1/09 0:22 AM If you did 1116 up in something shiny, it might make a nice mobile solar panel. I hear that kind of thing is in these days. Even thought the thought of wearing them pains me, I wildly congratulate Vogue for doing some edgier designs. Most other pattern collections are *so* boring right now. As a whole, isn't this a weird, clashly assortment? There's the fussy bow-tie dresses, the empire waist flowy things, the weird things, and then what is Betzina up to exactly? My head hurts. |

Date: 4/1/09 1:09 AM Maybe the designer is a fan of Canio's costume in 'I Pagliacci'? Perhaps we're really dealing with high art here. |

Date: 4/1/09 1:21 AM I am with you,
Can you say GTFOOH, and I do not use words like that in real life EVER.
What were they thinking? The pants are cute from the back but those knee things OY!
I must be getting old. DD is loving the 80s stuff.
