I know what that ugly dress looks like (other than Big Bird). Units. The incredibly ugly jersey clothes that pretty much made you look like a shapeless lump with quarterback shoulders unless you sprang for the bandeau belt.

I'm not seeing go-go at all. In fact, I think we can classify this as No-Go, Sudo.

"I think this is better than wearing frumpy-lumpy jeans and a used T-shirt." Unless of course those jeans were $350 and the t-shirt was $200, then its fasion and its HDB approved right?

I love Alison's outfit. It's not exactly go-go style. Faux-Go, maybe?

Here's a great style blog that captures what people on the streets of New York are wearing (as well as other major cities, from time to time): http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ You can comment on the photos, too!

Wow, so much excitement over fashion! I love these new fashion features, but I have to concur about the yellow dress. Ergh. I don't think clothes get much more unflattering than that.... Of course, I have the misfortune of having spent my formative years during a time when dropped-waist dresses were popular. I've been waiting for about five years for this dreadful style to have a resurgence. Sure enough, about two years ago it was noted in the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2005/09/04/fashion/sundaystyles/street.1.ready.html So sad. What's next? Velour? Culottes? Velour culottes...?

Remember folks, fashion is only a hobby. Don't take it too seriously.

Oh yeah, lighten up on judging my creative potential by what I'm wearing, dude.

Creativity has absolutely nothing to do with the clothes one wears. Creativity comes from your BRAIN communicating with your heart and mind. You do not have to dress like a freak to write, draw, or play like a bat outta hell. Anyone who thinks that what you wear outside determines the person inside is a chump who doesn't deserve your time. Maybe you'll grow up and learn that yourself one day.

Iraq?

Lighten up dude. Maybe we should put a dent in the economy and stifle creativity by wearing matching uniforms made in the same factory?

guest

I hope we spread the freedom to wear these kinds of ridiculous outfits to Iraq. Then I'll finally be able to sleep at night.

I think the freedom of picking out a "look" is fun. At least to me, I think this is better than wearing frumpy-lumpy jeans and a used T-shirt.

steve urkel called, he wants his glasses and clothes back. as for the girl, i didn't realize that dressing like a giant deflated latex balloon was fashionable. come on guys...seriously. this is not fashion, this is hipster lunacy at its worst. bring back design and class, not this ridiculous garbage. there's a reason why people can still look back to audrey hepburn's clothes and go "wow", vs people who will look AT and look BACK AT these people and go "holy fart muffins, what the dickens were these people snorting when they got dressed that morning??"

That's ultra baggy? (re: the guy's shirt)

guest

i tried hard to not comment...keep an open mind and all that... but i can't help but think back to pictures of my mustachioed dad in 1975 wearing his ridiculous plaid pants and how now we all laugh at how much of a jackass he looked. these pictures are the equivalent of those plaid pants photos.

guest

Good point about the shirt - I thought the ultra baggy style went out a decade ago. Then again, he's probably one of those 5'3" 130lb. really, really cool people making up for something...must be going to a Spoon show at the 'Hawk

Tattoos! So bad! So original! What will her mother think! Here in 1955 only the rebels have tattoos!

I hope he didn't pay too much for those Limited Edition Sailor Jerry Chuck Taylor All Stars (what a mouthful). Looks like Converse still has a lot for sale at the original price of $99.99 (WHAT!?!) but plenty of other online stores have them from $49.99.

This feature is pointless. There's already Austin Style Watch. Dude needs to get his shirt tailored. It fits him like a tent. Chick is wearing the most shapeless hideous pancho I've ever seen.

guest

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 08:36:31 -0600

Please make this feature go away.

To each his own, but wow, hideous only begins to describe the coolness.

guest

k, that girl is wearing a hideous outfit. the guy looks good though.

guest

BTW, next time, really keep it weird by getting Alison Benton to show you her really cool tattoos.

I'm not saying I dislike this contributor, or that I'm not up for new ideas for the 'ist. But I really think this fashion things is not only a deduction from the overall experience, but, miraculously, manages to be both vapid and sub-standard at the same time.

guest

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 02:50:16 -0600

Is the outfit she's wearing supposed to look good?

guest

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 23:58:50 -0600

So are you saying Austin Style Watch is lazy?

guest

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 19:22:16 -0600

oh barf......this is so lazy...
