Would you dare to bare? The Mutha
Fluffa Feather Dress, which is priced at $538, is a collaboration
between online fashion brand Nasty Gal and Australian clothing
label Dyspnea
Made
with completely sheer fabric, the design, which is aptly-named the
Mutha Fluffa Feather Dress, makes it seem as though the wearer is
completely naked, with the exception of a number of furry pom poms which
add a minimal amount of cover to the front and back of the ensemble.
The
Nasty Gal website adds that the product is best suited to 'daydreamers
and tastemakers', and suggests that customers might like to pair the
design with an equally furry handbag, a pair of feather-embellished
shoes and - perhaps the most sensible - a white bodysuit.
However, its own model instead showcases the dress with a pair of sky-high pink furry shoes and a pair of metallic pants.
She appears to have forgone the option of a bodysuit or bra.
Unsurprisingly,
the odd design has left fashion fans divided, with some more daring
critics on Twitter hailing the dress as 'brilliant' and 'awesome' -
while others are not quite so keen.
'That
dress is mother fluffin' awful. What even is it?!' one Twitter user
wrote, while another added: 'The edgy fashion forward clothing site
#nasty gal usually has some interesting pieces, but this one just defies
logic.'
It's fur
real! The design has divided fashion fans, with some claiming it is
'brilliant' and 'awesome', while others feel it is too over-the-top and
expensive
One
person questioned how on earth such a minimalist design could come with
such a high price tag, asking: 'Someone please explain to me how this
thing is worth more than $20?'
Their
comments will likely come as no surprise to fashion brand Dyspnea's
co-creators Jameen Zalfen, Aimee-Cherie Kendall and Rachel Motteram, who
have previously noted that their label is all about creating
outrageous, over-the-top designs.
'[Dyspnea is] crazy, provocative, coma-inducing, psychedelic and magical,' Jameen told Oyster magazine in April last year.
She added: '[The Dyspnea girl is] the tinkerbell of this generation. She loves to dress up and get [crazy].
While
the dress may not be to everyone's tastes, it does look as though it
might have been inspired by the increasing trend for brightly colored
furs that has been seen on the catwalks at New York, London and Milan
Fashion Weeks during the past month.
Models
and attendees alike have been showcasing a renewed love of furry
garments, both real and faux, with fluffy accessories also proving
particularly popular among designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Altuzarra
and Dennis Blasso, to name but a few.
