Must be a spoof.
Ripped jeans were last years thing. These are the latest - look out for them in your town soon - & only $168:

You also look deranged wandering down the street talking loudly to an imaginary friend (or ranting at an enemy)...
What's starting to get to me are those new(ish) hands free phones. I mean those which take the form of a microphone in each ear (with a slight downpinting protrusion which acts, I assume, as a microphone).
These are definitely a fashion fad as I cannot think, short of one being a member of some specail branch of the security services (in which case they would be better concealed), of what the practical utility of such communication devices would be. The message they send out is: `I'm so important, and busy, that I need to be contactable at all times, without the slightest delay!` And yet I have yet to see any of the wearers of these actually using them!
It's not a good look: they put one in mind of earings which are somehow in the wrong part of the ear.Also you also can't help speculating as to why the owner doesn't worry all the time about losing them.
They are just hypermodern status symbols and seem to play a compensatory funcion: I have yet to see a single attratctive person with them on.
No doubt I'll have to eat humble pie about this before very long: they'll probably become obligatory like many other Technological Advances which I was once sniffy about....
I do find it amusing that those ripped jeans still manage to have considerably better pockets than the majority of women's trousers.

^ Yes, exactly those! In my case, however, I would have a downer on any hands free microphone-in-ear type phone (unless used for driving ofr military or security purposes). It's telling the people around you to `sod off` just as much as wearing an ipod in public is, minus the latters excuse that you are only listening to a bit of music.
People who wear shoes like that don't know if they're coming or going.
Lord Voldemortov?Reminds me of those old photos of the Russian nobleman with the extra face.
Do you mean bluetooth headsets or these:
He's too chicken to wear anything else...bas couture?
From the catwalk to... nowhere, hopefully.
The taunt for beanstalk-boys used to be, "Have your trousers fallen out with your shoes?"
My mum, who is French would say about the large gap between trousers and shoes 'There is fire on the woodenfloor' Il y a le feu au plancher.It's daft but witty, in a way. I love the way the photographer has juxtaposed the much more ordinary footwear sported by attendees.
Meanwhile, I fear, the routine hipsters of Manchester have taken to wearing trousers - usually with turn-ups - which stop about three inches short of their shoes. The space between is occupied by a ribbed, white sock*.

*Horrid enough but at least it's not a "mankle"!
About dead cats... If you had dirty, dark nails, my mum or dad would say : 'You are mourning your dead cat." Tu es en deuil de ton chat.or "Has your cat died? Your trousers are at half-mast."
I love his accordeon's legs, they are a third of his body. Low waists are funnily ridiculous.
I managed to spot my first Canada Goose coat the other day. No doubt I will start seeing millions now.
Apparently the Jojo Bow is annoying schools now. I remember the Fergie Bow in the 80s. My brother was given one as a joke as he had long hair. There was also a time where we wore quite large thick ribbons but I can't remember if they had a special name. I had three and I still have them!
Believing-ness? Come away now!
Except, maybe, if they are from the Alsace....
