10 Reasons You Can’t Pull Off This Look

Part of the lure of high fashion are the boundary pushing choices by leading designers. They make the decisions that will inform the purchasing choices made by girls all over the world. There is a great deal of power, and surely pressure, to not only impress…but inspire. As well as make ladies compulsively want to reach for their wallet.

London fashion designer, Pam Hogg captivates with a distinctive funky rubberwear punk look. The girls in her show have a powerful almost androgynous ‘cyborg’ appeal – made fun by the technicolor florescent stripes and accents. The overall aesthetic immediately catches your attention and it’s really no wonder that Pam is making waves across Europe.

But how can you incorporate skin tight brights and multi-color fur into your wardrobe? Well, this is not a fashion statement that should be approached by the faint of heart. Here are the top ten reasons you might want to reconsider taking Pam Hogg’s approach to fashion too seriously and might want to merely look to her for subtle inspiration.

1. If the thought of incorporating rubber into a daywear outfit (or for that matter, evening attire) leaves you panicked and feeling claustrophobic.

2. When you look at the models, you think that they must have just partied too hard the night before; there’s no way these makeup decisions were intentional.

3. Neutrals, neutrals, and more neutrals account for 90% of your style choices.

4. A high heel for you is anything more than a ballet flat. You will not survive in these “big girl shoes” without some dedicated practice.

5. You don’t have a stylist. Or a hairstylist. Or a makeup artist. Or…

6. The number of fashion shows where you have been in the front row can be counted on one hand.

7. You work in any job that requires you to be in front of clients that would assume Sass & Bide is a new kind of spice when you use it in a sentence.

8. The reality TV show based on your life doesn’t start filming until 2010. Or ever.

9. No one has tried to make you go to rehab.

10. Unfortunately, your hair just isn’t long enough to pull off the bedhead updo every day.

It is probably safe to say at least one of those answers rung in as a ‘no’ for you – but if not, I suggest you give Pam Hogg’s designs a try. Of course, if you are still coveting the look, but know better when it comes to your own personal style, then I suggest checking out some of Forever 21’s neon accessories to ease yourself in.
