Per Una Speziale again

[polyhymnia]

Just happened to see this when browsing tunics on M and S site and thought I should share its unique design. A snip at £69. Anyone any idea of what it represents (feathers I suppose ......)?

Woah. That is the most hideous AND odd creation yet. Holy crap!

yes, seems something sinister/almost kinky (in a bad way) about it to me ...

I agree. Kill it with fire!

Dead fox tails?

Other bits of that fox were used for this

Good God, it's bad.

here is it's mate

You would feel like you where on drugs looking at this

I JUST DON'T GET IT... polyhmnia that is a truly hideous example of a buying team losing the plot. I get fashion forward, but this is fashion car crash.

Again hear me cry....SHOOT the buyers at M&S!

designed for Nancy dell'Olio.

Thanks all for giving me a good laugh, I needed it today. Truly hideous.

I never tire of these

I am comforted by these comments. When I see things like these at M and S I think WHAT THE HELL! Everyone seems to cherish M and S as an institution and I figure I don't GET IT because I wasn't born here.

They are not nice but I still can not get this monstasity from last year out of my head!

monstrosity!

Oh yes, that is unforgettable indeed. Yet I recall there were loads of reviews on the website at the time raving about the garment.

Poor old Twiggy now seems to be on in-store posters (looking a touch haggard) for the 'mainline' M and S Woman range, so perhaps has escaped from Per Una. The question remains 'who exactly is Per Una aimed at???'

As far as I'm concerned Autograph Weekend is about the only M and S 'brand' worth checking out regularly for wearable stuff.

Per Una seemed to be aimed quite young when it first came out, but now the only women who look there are more the Classic collection demographic.

I have two beautiful raincoats from Per Una, both several years old now and so unfussy compared to their current range!

Hideousness!

You're right, they did used to have a few plain and perfectly OK jackets, etc in the mix but I think they have become a taste-free zone now. No idea of the 'less is more' style maxim.
