The Fashion Industry has a Sense of Humour

Every now and then something crops up in the fashion world that proves the industry has a sense of humour.  And Agyness Deyn's style is a good example of this.

But it's normally in the form of a 'trend' that is so ugly that you know they are taking the piss.  A trend so ugly that not even I have a crack, and that is saying something considering I have done socks and heels, high-waisted skinny jeans, odd shoes and leather shorts (not all at once).

This season the award goes to.....


LIGHT SUITING!

Light suiting.  Even the name conjurs up all sorts of wrong.  "So, what happened, was there heavy petting?"    "No, but there was light suiting"

But even more disturbing is the reality.  Yep, I'm talking lightweight pants suits in pastel.  Perfect for summer, right? 

A fashion magazine recently suggested that this would be the perfect wardrobe option to wear to a luncheon.  A luncheon?  Who goes to luncheons?  More importantly, what IS a luncheon?  

Lunch with my friends is normally about who can stay upright the longest and it definately doesn't include pastel slacks.
