Posted on Apby Mrs G Posted in Fash-Eccentric Tagged Anya Hindmarch, Fashion Faux Pas, i am not a plastic bag, Little Miss shirts, Singapore. I guess the list goes on, fashion is still subjective right? But, don’t make it an eyesore. I could think of more fashion faux pas such as plastic “invisible” bra straps that is sooo passe, or knee high boots with ultra-mini shorts (too pornstar, in my opinion). State Department says there was no formal dress code issued. So, to avoid committing this crime – do wear a belt, or a longer top to cover your “precious” butt. Thats right, every single other leader chose crisp white for the photo opp, while Mrs. It’s not the prettiest view to see G-strings and buttcracks, unless you’re a VS model. How many times do we see this happening in school/work/Orchard Road? This famous fashion faux pas even happens to celebs (see Uma Thurman above) and I admit, it prolly happened to me at least once before. Everyone was carrying it – but I guess that’s the whole idea of the campaign right? I guess the brand name rings “luxury” in everyone’s ears… and eyes. I thought the idea of the bag was ingenious but soon after, it became the Celine Dion‘s ‘My Heart Will Go On’-version of bags. The fakes arrived before the real thing – and you can buy it for less than $20 from pushcarts. Anya Hindmarch‘s infamous ‘I am not a Plastic Bag’ canvas shopping tote was a craze awhile ago.
