I’m no fashionista. I wear socks with sandals some of the time, and I think every man, woman and child should have a black turtleneck in their wardrobe, so take any insights I provide here with that in mind.

Fashion Czar Pierre Cardin showcased his fall 2008 through spring 2009 clothing lines recently and I had to comment on one garment in particular… No, I’m not a dedicated follower of fashion (thank you Ray Davies), I just happened to be caught in a moment of morbid fascination with this coat-thing, which frankly isn’t very fashion-forward at all, unless you intend to make your models and potential customers look like a bottom-feeding flatfish:

I personally think that if a garment makes you look like a fish, DO NOT - under any circumstances - wear it, UNLESS it’s Halloween!

(*Note that the fish and the model have nearly identical expressions…)

I’ll bet the coat probably retails for as much as a small condo in LoDo. Sheesh…
