Even the model has a 'Kill me now, it'd be preferable' expression! Not wanting to be a bitch, ok, maybe I am a bit, but why is it 'high end fashion (ie, eyewatering expensive stuff) so often truly hideous?!

It's not even the outfit is it? It's £360 just for the cardi! Agree the model looks like she'd rather wear a sack

feellikeanalien · 09/08/2019 14:43

It looks like the sort of thing we used to knit school!

feellikeanalien · 09/08/2019 14:46

Sorry. "at school"

LoveGrowsWhere · 09/08/2019 14:48

I'm sure it's autumnal warm caramel colours or such but it has a sludgy look.

Anois · 09/08/2019 14:49

I'd have to pay €511 to look ugly. I think I'll pass! Grin

It's 30% polyamide too.

ToManderleyAgain · 09/08/2019 14:52

I’m enjoying the on-set shoot with the office wheelie chair in the background: www.caramel-shop.co.uk/shopthelook/woman-look-s/

Anois · 09/08/2019 14:55

Grin at the chair. God those clothes look hideous to me.

championquartz · 09/08/2019 14:58

Nope. Would look pants on me.

Models look a little bored and ever so slightly pissed off. Cardi is probably a bit scratchy.

Nesssie · 09/08/2019 15:00

I wouldn't spend £360 on any outfit or single item of clothing.

FurrySlipperBoots · 09/08/2019 15:07

@puddleduckmummy

Wow, you're right!!! That is insane! Surely they don't sell any all?

@ToManderleyAgain

The strawberry blonde girl looks like she's been caught out dealing with a massive wedgie! Grin

I just don't understand expensive fashion. Like the catwalk shows where models strut up and down in the most bizarre and impractical creations. A lot of trends have me scratching my head - skinny jeans/cold shoulder tops/those ballet pump things/the year of the ponchos/Birkenstock style sandals but at least when people move on to the next thing it's only a few quid wasted, not thousands!

Do you think it's the temp who's modelling and she's thrown a right strop?

I sometimes think they chuck a high price on tatt and someone falls for it.

Miniloso · 09/08/2019 15:24

Awful. Glad I never have to look at that or the other crap on there ever again!

FaFoutis · 09/08/2019 15:27

Yes, I would buy that first outfit, and the one with the coat. It is similar to Toast but Toast is cheaper.
You don't move on to the next thing when you buy this stuff, you keep it for years.

MashedSpud · 09/08/2019 15:30

Horrible.

Makes me think of some weird post nuclear 1950’s event.

If the dresses don’t appeal they sell a fluffy camel for £144.....I think I’ll crochet my own.

Glower · 09/08/2019 15:32

I like to think that I’m quite into fashion but I’m still baffled by this! I keep seeing these awful bandana trekking sandals all over Instagram 🤔

I like those sandals Blush

Glower · 09/08/2019 15:50

Fair enough Grin I think I’m more baffled by the outfits they’re being paired with!

Nicolastuffedone · 09/08/2019 21:52

She’s a ‘fuming’ MNetter in that red dress

Palaver1 · 09/08/2019 23:33

The emperors new clothes ghastly

tigger001 · 09/08/2019 23:39

It's absolutely not my style, but if I liked it yes.

GodDammitAmy · 09/08/2019 23:43

But it's a cardigan

Boilingfrog · 09/08/2019 23:50

That is mostly all from the shop of I Saw You Coming.

buttertoasty · 09/08/2019 23:56

No although I do love it. You can get cheaper alternatives elsewhere and get the same look.

itsabootyhole · 09/08/2019 23:56

That whole outfit looks like it's been dragged out of a charity bin 😷
