We love this tie. We love how emo the model is. Wouldn't you be emo if you were ripped from your 8-bit world into this crazy, disorganized one? No fire flowers, no invincibility stars...from superhero to plumber in a financial crisis.

Project Runway Epsiode 11: The designers face the music

Email thisPosted Sep 25th 2008 at 1:00PM by Tiffany Neal

Filed under: Style in the News

Can you guys believe it? After struggling to watch ten episodes of Project Runway this season, we finally got something good last night. No. really. This week, the designers ditched their normal impossibly thin mannequins for, drum roll please, themselves!

That's right. In this music themed show down, the designers had to design an outfit for each other based on th genre of music that was assigned to each of them. For example, Leanne had to turn Korto into a blue-blooded country music star and Jerell was forced to makeover that vile creature known as Kenley into a pop diva a la Britney Spears.

Oh, yes. Hilarity, bitchiness, and wild designs ensued immediately afterwards. In our gallery, check out all of the highs lows, and losers from last night.

Experimental hairstyles: The sidewalk cut

There are a lot of people who don't really think there's anything magical about what a hairdresser does. It takes a long time, it's expensive, and -- above all else -- it tends to lead to horribly forced conversations. There is a way to get your hair cut for free, though. This dude in San Francisco did it, and all it took was a piece of yarn, a pair of scissor, and a sign that says "help cut my hair, take two snips." It's hard to imagine the conversation being too dull.

Letting a myriad of unwashed strangers get close to your head with a sharp pair of scissors doesn't sound like a good idea to us, but since someone else is doing it, we think it's an awesome social experiment. Not only that, but it doesn't look all that different from any other emo cut that a Russian school kid might get expelled for. The two snip per person technique is obviously not for everyone, but we bet the results are always interesting.

Pete Wentz to design for Nordstrom

Surprised to find out that Nordstrom is teaming up to do a collection with the guru of punky mall wear? Best known for playing bass in the ~~horrible~~ multi-platinum band Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz is quickly becoming the darling of the fashion world. His own clothing line, Clandestine Industries, will be releasing a spring and summer collection of graphic tees, jeans, hoodies and accessories exclusively at Nordstrom running from in April and July.

I guess it's really not that surprising, since Wentz already designed a capsule collection for DKNY that came out last August. Still, Nordstrom is not DKNY, which takes a lot of risks with guest designers. Maybe they just think that Wentz is a bit of a guarantee, having an enormous fan-base of emo adolescents couldn't hurt sales. Obviously, this line is geared for juniors who are inclined to wear t-shirts inspired by Wentz's tattoos, so it'll be on display in the BP section.

Apparently, his t-shirts and jeans are meant to be unisex -- that seems like a remarkably bad idea -- but whatever. It won't stop junior high kids from pouring in to watch the Pete Wentz behind-the-scenes DVD as they loiter around the store. Let's just hope that Nordstrom isn't contractually obligated to jam Fall Out Boy's greatest hits.

Fall Out Boy makes design debut

If you've ever felt the need to dress like a pre-teen living in a Hot Topic clearance rack but wanted to pay a hell of a lot more, look no further! Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz has just made his fashion debut at New York Fashion Week, perfect for the kids looking to have something new match their white belts and squeaky-clean Chucks. Wentz's label, Clandestine Industries, has plenty of merchandise available online. I think what really caught my eye was the "Razor Bling Necklace", 'cause nothing says style like romanticized suicide.

Oh, Pete. You're always good for a laugh.

A word about the year's hottest pairing

Email thisPosted Aug 11th 2006 at 10:21AM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Why the short skirt and cut-off leggings pairing has spread like wildfire is a complete mystery to me. Out of the hundreds (ohh, yes... hundreds) of people I've seen sporting this vicious trend, maybe one or two have worn it well. Here are a few things that I wish I had the guts to say to the faces of these poor, unfortunate souls...

If your legs are already somewhat short or large, just don't sport the look. It visually cuts off the length of your legs and makes you seem even shorter and your legs look thicker. Remember: Don't bother with a trend if it doesn't flatter your own shape.
Either have the leggings cut off a few inches below the knee or opt for full-length opaque tights. Don't get crazy with the ones that cut off around the ankles. They look ridiculous.
Fun Fact: Wearing these skin-tight leggings under an obscenely short skirt still means you're wearing an obscenely short skirt. Modesty does not accompany wearing a paint-thin layer of fabric under what is virtually a headband.

Take these into consideration and spare yourself the pain. Even better, how about you never wear the pairing again? There's no worse feeling than looking at photos from earlier in the year and cringing at what your ensemble. Seriously. In a few months' time, you'll thank me.
