It’s Fashion Week in New York and once again, top designers are paying tribute to Dear Old Mom. Here are the best looks of the season for the Woman who Has Does It All…
Nothing says “I’m a mommy off my meds” like this Marc Jacobs design…
Special thanks to designer Monique Lhullier for bringing back that hallmark of mommydom: fat arms. Oh wait. That’s the model’s back, isn’t it? Bitch.
Zac Posen’s models perfectly conveyed the I’ve-been-up-all-night-cleaning-up-vomit face. Bravo, Zac. Bravo!
Perhaps Marc Jacobs best captured the spirit of the stay-at-home mom with this look… Note the mail-order mu mu, the clever yellow rubber gloves that scream both “FASHION!” and “NO DISHWATER HANDS!”, the signature new-mother hair, that telltale three-pregnancy pooch, and of course the chic dark glasses designed to hide all traces of last night’s cooking wine binge… Marc, you have outdone yourself.
With this look, Betsey Johnson says, “This ain’t your mama’s lingerie!Or your grandma’s… but it might be your great grandma’s…”
Here, B. Michael celebrates the essence of that time you picked up the kids and went to the school craft fair straight from work. Ah, motherhood!
In a daring tribute to breastfeeding mothers, Marc Jacobs presents the Baby Bit My Nipple Bra.
Thanks to Custo Barcelona, sleep-deprived mothers need worry no more about remembering to put on their pants before they leave the house.Even better, thongs= out! Granny panties= in!
Over at Tommy Hilfiger’s, shirts went by the wayside in favor of that old mom standby, the Cross Your Heart bra. Put a belt on over your husband’s favorite pair of novelty boxers and you’re good to go!
>And which one will YOU be modeling around Chez Turmoil?
>You are too much!! You had me laughing until I cried!
>I can’t tell you how many times I just didn’t feel like wearing a shirt with my husbands boxer shorts….Thank you Tommy H. for showing me the way!
>Hey there. Short time lurker, first time commenter here.This is the best thing I’ve read all week! I used to do a little runway, and it really is so ridiculous! Thanks for making me laugh so hard I can now skip my sit-ups!;)
>LOL! too funny! and so true! Esp the Dishpan hands girl… *S*
>Wow, Iโve often wondered how those models feel. I understand that they get a lot more dough than I do for looking that bad, but do they cringe when the cameras go off? Do they pray their friends donโt pick up the latest issue? How do they keep a straight face? Iโm thinking a Grammy is in order hereโฆ
>OMG! I am laughing so hard I about peed my pants and spat all over the monitor! That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!ROTFLMAO! That is hysterical! Between this and toiletgate you’re on fire!
>Now I remember why I don’t wear Haute Couture.
>I’m so glad I’m not fashionable. ;^)
>My favorite sweat/paint/milk/puke stained shirt and yoga pants outfit must be ahead of it’s time! Who knew mommies were so fashionable!?!
>I think Marc Jacobs got it right. He should hire you to do the commentary…
>Thanks for that post, the first blog post in a long time that made me nearly choke on the popcorn I was eating because I was laughing so hard.You should have added a disclaimer at the beginning telling people they shouldn’t eat or drink while reading!
>And for a minute there, I thought my fat arms were in style – but you had to burst my bubble. Glad to know that my rubber gloves are now the epitome of chic, though.You are TOO funny – your commentary captures that je ne sais quoi of haute couture.
>Holy cow, that dress with the streamers and the yellow gloves looks like “Hey, the toddler made my outfit!” And did her hair, too.
>The baby bit my nipple bra had me rolling. Good to know I’m more stylish than I thought. ๐
>BAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA All I can say is, “WTF?”That one by Marc Jacobs looks like something we’ll be seeing Helena Bonham Carter in…except black.What the hell is up with the clown eyebrows on the one chick?If we actually (could afford) wore this crap, we as “bored housewives” would be thrown in the looney bin.I wish I too could turn cartoon chic into a multimillion dollar business, GEESH!
>OMG, that is hilarious! I can especially relate to the “fat arms” one! BOTH of that model’s arms would probably equal one of mine! Betch.
>Fashion weeks tends to run more along the lines of costume design than fashion. You nailed it with this post! Bravo and thanks for the laughs!
>Bizarre. Capital B.
>Thank God the whole going out in your underpants thing is FINALLY okay!! I have been the fashion horror for years here in Seattle because of that faux paus…finally they won’t be laughing at me at preschool drop off anymore!!
>Very funny. That Zac Posen model needs to be force-fed a Big Mac. Christ, the bones!
>That was hilarious. Thank you, I needed the chuckle.
>I have never NEVER understood the fashion runways. All I ever say is “what were they thinking!!??”But they are all on crack anyway, right?
>(pushes eyeballs back into head)oh lawd.
>I swear, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all week! Thank you!
>Too good.
>seriously…what is up with those fashion shows? i mean…does anyone actually wear that stuff???great post…you made me laugh so hard i peed a little! ๐
>wickedly funny….just sk-rt’d it. ๐
>I love your irreverence for Fashion Week – that’s the most enjoyment I’ve ever gotten out of it!
>That last model was missing a hand. Guess designs are suited for all types. Personally, I am going to experiment with the blue forehead shadown.
>Oh crap, does that whole underwear thing mean that Brittany can say, “I’m just haute couture y’all. It’s a fashion statement.”?
>oh yeah. i can completely see myself sporting the blue shadow and isabella blow type hat ๐
>Speaking of outdoing oneself – just genius Lindsay. That bloody nipple line made my breastfeeding day.
>This is hilarious! I’ve never understood the whole coolness of the runway clothes but now I get it. Thanks to you!
>oh man, after a very un-glamorous weekend, i still feel a little more glamorous than these gals thanks to you! hilarious!
>This is the funniest take on fashion week ever, funnier even than Go Fug Yourself. You ought to go over there and show them your stuff.
