I created this thread to talk about something other then what's being released soon and then slowly watch as the thread dies, it's kinda heart breaking. I guess that's one of my jobs here, trying to keep this board alive. So I'm going to pick something I'm sure we all have an opinion on, Hello! Project fashion! Sure we talk about it a little when a single is released or a PV is shown and oh the multitude of concert outfits that are paraded before us, it's a wonder I haven't thought of this before. I hope this works out. D:
Anyway, there are always those special few outfits that are burned into our skull forever and wont leave even if we try to forget them. As everyone knows, Hello! Project isn't known for their great fashion sense sometimes. They tend to costume the girls every chance they get, sometimes it works and other times, well I'm sure you know. Morning Musume have been around for awhile so they top the list of repeat offenders. But other Hello! Project groups past and present have been known to wear some pretty funky stuff. This thread was made to bring out those mistakes and showcase them for everyone to cringe at or talk about.
Signs of bad fashion are easy to spot. Feathers, fringe and ruffles never seem to go well. And sometimes they wear those white sneakers with their costume, eek. It's Casual Concert Chic!
But the worst type of fashion happens when they have to double up on costumes, this always in concerts and mostly in the beginning and very end of a concert when they don't have time to change normally. This makes the girls two or three times larger then they once were and they are always easy to spot as they are the most gaudy of them all.
Below I'll showcase a few of my favorite of the worst and I ask for your help in digging out the worst of the worst of H!P fashion's. They can be from PVs, CD Covers, Concerts, Photobooks, Magazines, Television, and Everyday wear. I also encourage you to find some GOOD fashion (If you can!). Because sometimes the people at UFA get it right and pull off some awesome combos. (My favorite are anything dealing with Plaid, it's one of my favorite things.)
Whoever decided to stick the girls in these outfits must have really hated them. Who ever thought feathers and whatever that fabric is, were a good idea? And Kei's hat, that thing's massive. D:
I forget what concert this was, but the stripped shirt and plaid skirt. At least TRY to match would you? Apparently they didn't get that memo when they put the girls in this outfit. Even Takahashi doesn't seem that please about the whole thing either.
How can we forget the wonderful Bonkyu Bonkyu outfits? I cringed when I first saw them, (the other Bonkyu Bonkyu outfits aren't any better as they were double up costumes.) The whole thing made me said because the song was one of my favorites and they ruined it with these costumes. I want everyone to notice Reina in this, because her freind Sayumi decided, hey I like your hair style so I'm going to do the same thing in the future! Just you watch.
And she did. Gospelmusume please to meet, RainbowOMGSparklesMusume.
She really isn't that fat, it's the 2,000 costumes she has on underneath, she swears. Oh and the puff sleeves. No one should be subjected to puff sleeves, not even Eri.
Give them some clown hair, a nose and a little car and you have yourself a mini-circus.
Noooo, they aren't hiding another costume under those, are they? Couldn't be! I think the designers were having a, who can make the biggest skirt EVA challenge. I think it's a tie between Maasa and Miyabi. But Miyabi wins because her boots don't match.
Chisato got attacked by roll shiney blue fabric. She tried to save herself but it was only a flesh wound. Note the little puff of red, just cause we can sort of design. I swear that's what it is. Either that or the designer made a mistake but since she used the entire roll of fabric to make these costumes, she had to use something else to cover the hole.
I'd have some christmas nightmares if I saw this in public. It is anything but cute.
She was attacked by the ruffle fairy and... If you're going to match purples, at least try to get them to match.
From a distance it looks like it could be her hair, but then you notice her hair is up. On closer inspection you see that something clearly died on her shoulder and poor Aya hasn't noticed. :<
Now, my biggest pet peeve are tiny hats. I hate them!
It seem the bigger and guadier they are, the more I hate them.
Mai's hat also has an animal print. Animal print and plaid? D: You wound me!
Not only is it a headband, it's a hat and that's not a good combo. I want to shoot it off her head, like those games at the arcade.
I could probably go on and on and find more but that wouldn't be fun at all now would it?
This thread is meant to be fun for everyone so please enjoy yourself and try not to bash the girl and concentrate on the clothes they are wearing please. We don't need to start a hate war. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lesson.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sideways:' />
Let's all have a laugh and find some funky fashion faux pas.
