Chanel Kits on the Runway in Paris

Filed under: Runway Trends, Handbags

Chanel on the runway
At the Fall 2009 Chanel show yesterday in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld, who is known for his quirky accessories (who could forget the faux-shopping bag handbags from last season), sent tightly sealed plastic cases down the runway filled with an assortment of goodies from the design house.

eBay WTF of the Day: Bad jean jacket #3

Filed under: Clothing

Ach! Too! Busy! Cripes! Eyes! Burning!

Be careful with denim, people. This is an example of where a simple crime against denim could lead to total outfit mayhem. We don't care what you're wearing under that jacket; we take one look at it and we're having a seizure on the floor.

This jean jacket from Josephs-colours-sells on eBay is a Coldwater Creek from the underacknowledged realm of "trying to look like your mother and doing it wrong."

eBay WTF of the Day: Bad jean jacket #2

Filed under: Clothing

WTF? This is so obviously wrong.

It's like this. The jacket was too long so they decided to cut it. Then, while they got ready to cut it, they had seven martinis and decided it would be really funny if they just cut some of it off. We can just see this being a good idea at like, 3am:

"Yeah, you know...like coattails...but on the sides...of this denim jacket...with three quarter sleeves and an awkward, sideways belly-flap."

But that idea should have been trumped in the morning.

eBay WTF of the Day: Leather, fox, and failure

Filed under: Clothing

Here we are, a crime against leather and foxes alike.

Places fox fur does not belong:

The ocean.
Guernsey (there are no foxes on the isle of Guernsey).
All over a leather jacket. WTF?

It's like someone took a sort of ugly leather jacket and decided to "improve" it by putting a fox vest over it.

eBay WTF of the Day: Bad jean jacket #1

Filed under: Clothing

Totally unjustifiable.
It must be fall. Get out your bad jean jackets.

Here, on sale from Cerry5354, we have a green satin disaster. This is like a castoff from that scene in Return to Oz when Dorothy had to touch everything that was green to bring Oz back to life or something, I don't know, I was only half watching by that point because that Rock dude really freaked my shiz out. And the flying moose box. WTF, moose box? Anyway, all the stuff that was green in that scene was like, really awkwardly and sort of aggressively green. Like this jacket.

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Dorothy was played by Fairuza Balk? Thanks.

eBay WTF of the Day: Shoes from outer space

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

These will make you extra terrestrial.
Wowza. These shoes are astronomically out of control. Not only will they make you 6 inches taller (we think; the shoes measure 8 inches from top to bottom at the back), but they also look like they are made of spaceship scraps.

Perhaps they were designed specifically for outer space. Perhaps there are lasers mounted inside for battling evil moon-critters and martians. Check out the scalloping on the bottom of these shoes. Perhaps they are weighted, to aid with gravitational issues. You could totally dig into some extra terrestrial terrain in these bad boys.

The best part of the listing:
"Not for the faint-of-heart but your friends will love them. Not worn."


This pretty much tells us everything we need to know about the owner's situation. Clearly, she was out shopping with friends and saw these shoes, and was like "oh my god you guys, I have to try those on."

eBay WTF of the Day: Padding for all eight of your breasts

Filed under: Accessories, Swimwear and Lingerie, Flatter Your Figure, Style Lies

We call this Seriously? It's like a display of shoulder pads for Russian nesting dolls.

This set of pads to make your breasts look bigger (both in swimwear and bras!) is weird. There's something about the hot pink background, too. Very modern art. Very...teeth. Or unpainted fake nails. Or thirds of porcelain teacups. Or something.

Breast padding? Well, it's certainly not the first thing that comes to mind. Still, the listing says: "Make you a cup size Bigger Bra Pads."

Do they work? Probably. Will it look natural? Maybe. Will it feel weird? Definitely. WTF? Hook us up with some socks. This is America.

eBay WTF of the Day: Give me four bucks for whatever this is.

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories

Weird."Weird little cheap handbag" is the title of this eBay listing by Solsticedreamer.

We don't really know what to say here. It's sort of unremarkable, yes, but the title is so aggressively blase...it kind of cracks us up.

Here's what Solticedreamer has to say about the "weird little cheap handbag:"

"Looks hand made, maybe out of bubble gun wrapers? I mean it has a funny shiny look."

eBay WTF of the Day: En garde, shoe!!

Filed under: Haute Home, Accessories, Shoes

En garde, shoe!!
Hello! My name is Manolo Blahnik! You killed my father! Prepare to die!

We freaking love it. It's a shoe horn sword.

Dforceit is selling this terrific shoe horn for $9.99, and it ships from "Wild & Wonderful West Virginia." We have a feeling we would like Dforceit very much.

Some other things Dforceit has for sale:

eBay WTF of the Day: MAJOR TRENDS vest

Filed under: Clothing

I hail from the planet Zaag. Really? We're gonna have to call a WTF all over this zippered vest.

First of all, seller Goodbuybarry has listed this item as "UNUSUAL METAL MASK! Black & Brown WOOL Vest SZ XL." Really? Is the metal mask what sets it apart? We think the most distinctive thing about this vest is that it looks exactly like a Star Trek uniform.

And the mask? Just makes it look more like a Star Trek uniform. Okay, not exactly-exactly. This will have to be deemed a uniform for someone from a planet we just made up called Zaag.
