Most WTF Headgear From Sao Paulo Fashion Week

Posted 6/21/11 4:13 pm EST by MTV Style in Accessories, Designers

OK, listen. We get that fashion week is all about the "aspirational" and is the "showcase" because all these houses make up their bottom lines in fragrances and handbags but some of the stuff we stumbled upon from Sao Paulo Fashion week is just straight-up STRANGE. And we're not even talking about the clothes here (the clothes, for the record, are sorta genius)! It's obvious the Brazilians have a thing for hats/headgear/wearable face art, so we picked some of the most outlandish pieces that ended up on this week's runway. Would YOU ever wear any of these?

DESIGNER: Samuel Cirnansck
WTF FACTOR: Um, it's a bride with a bouquet shoved in her mouth. With her hands tied up. We get the obvious "shackles of matrimony" thing and would love nothing more than the stuff ANYTHING in the mouths of the various bridezillas that are ruining (RUINING!) our summers but still... too on-the-nose we thinks.

Juuuust when we were getting cozy in Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's extensive slipper collection, the Jersey Shore star decided to expand her footwear line—actually labeled the apt and hilarious "Snooki Enterprises"—to include (gasp!) flip-flops and wedges. This is no surprise considering the Snooks is CONSTANTLY spotted on the beach working on the "T" in her "GTL." Her footwear line, which includes green pickles plastered across bright pink sequined flip-flops (with Snooki’s heart signature, of course) and ruched leopard print thongs, will retail between $15 and $50. Check out the pink pickle slip-ons below!

Hot Dude Of The Deceased: Today Would Have Been Tupac's 40th Birthday :(

Today would have been Tupac Amaru Shakur's 40th birthday, and while we respect his sizable contribution to the rap canon, we here at MTV Style believe it's most important to remember that dude was a babe. And that he frequently wore clothes of the '90s-awesome variety. In fact, his style was so iconic—from his overalls + rugby stripes, to his denim-on-denim Canadian tuxedos, to his allover camo, and his three-piece suits—that instead of picking just one moment, we've dedicated an entire gallery to his sartorial evolution. Like, his doo-rag was so recognizable that were you to draw the outline of his head in Hitchcockian fashion, you would immediately know who it belonged to, you know?

Nicholas Kirkwood x Keith Haring

Nicholas Kirkwood collaborating with Keith Haring is so CDG's Rei Kawakubo x Matt Groening in how much it splodes our brain. Nicholas Kirkwood, whose cobbling genius can be seen in the way he plays delicate lace uppers and spindly stilettos off of chunky platforms and glinting hardware, is as much a sculptor as he is a shoemaker and unsurprisingly has a background in art.

"I actually studied fine art at Central Saint Martins," he says, "The combination of fashion and art is very interesting for me. I never claim to be an artist. I'm a designer. But I think there are areas in which they can merge, and that overlap is exciting."

Florence And The Machine's Gucci Tour Outfits

Holy floral epaulettes, sashes, illusion skorts and diaphanous sashes! News that Gucci will be designing the tour outfits for Forence Welch of Florence And The Machine fame thrills us to bits especially since her appearance at the Met Gala in floor-length YSL may have had tongues wag to the contrary. The flame-tressed musician, dubbed one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People," and described as "eccentric" and "the most peculiar and most highly acclaimed female singer of the moment" has always been in our crosshairs for her iconic, dreamy, ethereal neo-raphaelite personal style, and this latest development seems a keen match.

Elle Fanning In 'BlackBook' Magazine

Posted 6/10/11 9:00 am EST by MTV Style in Ladies

While it's unnerving to think that Elle Fanning is still just a wee 13-year-old, the sought-after actress and Super 8 star has been gracing fashion editorials for several seasons now. The thing about this BlackBook magazine spread that we particularly enjoy is its austerity. Granted the flaxen-haired babychild looks sort of glum and we prefer her in bright, fresh, bursts of age-appropriate color (like, when she wore floral Dolce & Gabbana to the Movie Awards. Also, pssssst we added video to the link so def come check it out) but the fashion references that are evoked here definitely remind us of our youth.

How To Have Summer Bangs Without Becoming A Zit Monster

New York City, today, is supposed to be a searing 100 degrees. Besides sending us running to the nearest AC haven, we've now got to switch our entire beauty game up. Since wearing sunscreen on a daily basis is an incredibly judicious choice (and also saves your skin from wrinkles further down the line), our precious epidermis is protected. But the heat does something awful to our mop, and girls with once stick-straight hair look like they've locked lips with an electric outlet or long, swooping bangs become long, swooping acne cover-ups. Since we've all got 'em (bangs that is) though in different shapes and sizes, we've scooped the best ways to tame an unwieldy mane—whether you go short, long, or in between.

The Top 15 Most WTF Items From Urban Outfitters

Posted 6/8/11 4:56 pm EST by MTV Style in Random, Shopping

Listen, we'll admit we spend WAAAAAAAY too much time online shopping. So much, in fact, that we know every single inch of some online retailers' websites.... *cough* Urban Outfitters *cough* And sometimes, in the little corners of the internet ether, we stumble upon their, erm, more questionable products, and we're all, "WTF IS this?! No, seriously. What. Is. This. We don't get it." And then we see it has ratings and a bajillion reviews and we're all, "WAIT. PEOPLE BUY THIS?!?!?" (I mean, don't get us wrong. About 25 percent of our closets are strictly UO purchases. Don't judge.) So let us honor the mind-boggling, quirky and downright crude products that Urban Outfitters has ~~tricked people into buying~~ sold on their website. Read the reviews and then read our thought-provoking insight on each.
