While I'm finetuning my next post, I thought this monstrosity might amuse you guys, a pair of silk harem pants from Thomas Wylde.
Everything that could go wrong goes wrong here. The trainwreck begins with a dropped crotch, the worst idea in tailoring ever conceived, then continues with a ruffle on the cropped hem. In the front, it's pleated. The material is delicate silk, a savvy choice for torturing your servants with extra work, and the print looks like she squashed an endangered species with her butt. The brand trademark, the skull, has also been scattered onto the snow leopard background, which is SUCH AN AWESOME IDEA. Finally, the price: $625.
A tragic masterpiece. I want to stop looking, but I can't...
