Worst Dressed: When Ugly AND Expensive Meet

The irony of that puffer jacket is that, while it is filled with duck feathers (warm!), a quarter of the bottom is missing, so you’re going to freeze your you-know-what off.

Did you see the back view? The top of the jacket sleeve on one side is also missing!

I clicked on the link and thought I was still on the local paper page about that homeless encampment under I-5 downtown…

Of all the things posted on this thread, I think that these jackets may really be the most ludicrous.

The equivalent in term of un-functionality would be a pair of shoes with hobbles.

Saks really wants me to buy a coat.

It’s not the worse but still.

It’s not the best, either.

I can’t imagine the person on whom that coat would be becoming. I think it would make Grace Jones look dumpy.

So, this gown just came up on my Facebook newsfeed and I immediately thought of this thread in the Parent Cafe, which I haven’t kept up with lately.

If you need a gown that looks like a down jacket…you know, for those cold weather formal occasions, here you go:

PS, and to add to the hilarious factor…the only sizes left are size 00 and size 0…as if anyone who wears a size bigger than that could get away with this dress (though I can’t imagine ANYONE wearing it honestly)

If it were white, one could wear it as a Halloween costume and go as the Michelin man.

Recommended to those who peeked at the Michelin Lady shown above!

Seriously? Designers at Prada ran out of ideas, reached in their stationery drawer and - voila! - an idea was born. :slight_smile:

You missed the matching coat - https://www.barneys.com/product/1-moncler-pierpaolo-piccioli-lucrezia-down-quilted-puffer-cape-505971638.html perfect for a new adaptation of Dune - note th green hands!

Moncler discovered the Slanket? :slight_smile:

The dress and coat are a portable weightless sauna system. Now you don’t have to wear those silly looking silver pants and jacket, you can sweat in style, while partying with the rich and tasteless.

Those green gloves are sold separately and cost $1500. Unfortunately they’re out of stock. Damn.

Looks like a Halloween costume.

Oy.

That looks like a cross between a beehive and a cocoon with green slime oozing out. Eeeewww…

And the shoes in post #924 are as awful as the coat.

Is anyone else seeing some of these links suddenly appearing as advertising on this site? I saw one of the ugly coats put up!

How could anyone even function in that coat with those gloves? I would need my entourage to pay for my McCafe because there is no way I have pockets or purse, let alone can get my hands in the pockets. and then my chauffeur would have to drive me to work, or that special function that requires puffy formal attire, because that is not safe to drive in or operate heavy machinery. And it would all be happening in the deep woods of Alaska or somewhere it’s actually cold enough to require that outfit.

I have no words.
