You know sometimes H&M can really surprise me with the stuff they have. I don’t go too often because I find the Oxford Circus branch very messy and hectic. I also have to wade through the crap knitwear, stripy and polka dot tops to find the gems. Today I specifically went early to avoid the crowds and this waist coat made of tartan fabric flowers stuck out like a sore thumb. The way the flowers were made up reminded me of Dragana Perisic’s fabric jewellery. As I approached the rail to pick it up, a girl in front of me said to her friend ‘That is ugliest effing thing I’ve ever seen!’ Clearly someone had been watching Mean Girls a little too closely.
Did that deter me? Nope! Chances are if it is a little fugly in popular opinion, I might avoid clothes-cloning someone on the street (am I the only one who gets peeved by that?). I might even buy another one so that I can attach it to a strapless black dress.
LOL i admire your opinions on things. 😀
you are NOT the only person who gets peeved by that…..i can’t wait until all of this retro stuff isn’t in fashion anymore so i can just go back to being the weirdo who wears old clothes…like it used to be 😉
i saw it today too.
i thought it was ugly-pretty
all the rosettes reminded me of angela from project runway.
no– that is hot! sometimes H&M has interesting stuff. and it’s cheap of course.
it looks a little wide and shapeless in the photo but I bet it’s interesting on, you’ll have to update us with pictures of it on you!
James Coviello just did fabric flowers in his Spring 2007 collection in NY, check looks 14, 16, 19, & 20 here:

they got no taste, i bought one a few months back at H&M hahaah and guess wat it was the last one, so clearly it was SOLD OUT…arggg mean gurls you’re right!!!
Hey…I like it!That’s not very nice for them to say that!
I have it, and I love it! It’s really versatile, and goes with a lot of my stuff. I actually thought of you when I first saw it:)
hahaha..it reminds me of angela’s ‘signature rosettes.’
Please let us see it on!
It’s not really my style, but it’s a brave move to wear it if it’s your style… you showed those bitches.
If it was a top and not a waistcoat I’d wear it ! x
I bought it 3 weeks ago, and I immediately thought about you!!! 🙂
oh! i finally get it…. seeing that picture of it on– its crafty and original
fluerchons!
To be honest I rarely, if never, find any item of clothing ugly and unwearable. I feel that any item of clothing could look good with the right outfit – which obviously you will find when it comes to wearing this jacket.
