LADY BUNNY IS MAD ABOUT CLUB FASHION

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
The rabbit ears combined with the bowler strikes me as authentic—it is absurd—but the spidery eye makeup doesn’t seem to go with the rest of the look. “I LOVE NY” t-shirts are really more of an 80s thing, and I don’t think it really jibes with club fashion. The giant lollipop is just one of the many kiddy accessories you can find at the clubs, and I think it fits this look. Her stockings give off that babyish, Pippi Longstocking vibe. She looks like someone who is dressing on a budget. Either that or she’s on a lot on drugs and that’s maybe affecting her taste.

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
This is a “boy” look. It’s not that outrageous, but he is obviously working a real look. Those glasses are straight off DJ Dmitri’s (from Deee-Lite) head. He looks like someone who might dress up more on other nights, but this is a bit low-key. It’s casual. I’m not quite catching what the cords coming out of the shoes are supposed to do for him. If he weren’t holding them like that, they would make a sure-fire tripping mechanism for someone who is already busted out of his skull on Special K and clinging to a wall. Overall, he looks like a kid who either doesn’t know how to go all-out or who might be having a light night instead of wearing a wedding dress.

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
I really like this one. I think it works as a look, and I’d say it’s my favorite of the bunch. The hair’s great, I love the baby-doll dress, and the shoes completely work. There’s a nice dichotomy here. On one end there’s the curly, glamorous wig, and on the other he’s clearly showing that he’s a boy with the side of his head that’s shaved. The space-origami accessories are a bit off but in kind of a good way. He really gets it.

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
This is another popular look—the pacifier paired with colored laces and baggy pants. It’s a unisex look that guys and girls can both wear. Things got a lot more interesting once Madonna said it was OK for males to show off bare midriffs. Now it’s all over the place. I’m not sure about how low she’s letting them ride, but maybe she’s trying to flaunt her body a bit. The bleached hair, visor, and candy-jewelry ring are true to typical club fashions.

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
I don’t care for this, but I can see James St. James strutting around in a similar outfit. A lot of us girls wear those Ellie Bonita Lucite heels, because they are the only ones that we can buy in sizes big enough to fit our feet. The raw treatment is odd, but the whole thing is meant to be odd. Sometimes these kids do those “let’s be off” looks on purpose. It’s like, “I dare you to say that this is a rumpled piece of chicken wire and burned paper on my bald head! This is a free-form tiara, darling.” I can see that coming from a bald guy with no boobs, fake nails, and heels.

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
Here we have a style that is very well put together, but it looks quite expensive. Not all clubgoers are poor kids who are messed up on drugs. People like Kabuki exemplify this type of fashion. They have quite extravagant looks, and it’s clear that they either have money or know where to get cheap high fashion. Or maybe they just work at Pat Field’s, which carries a lot of knockoffs and employs a lot of club kids. What’s funny is that even though they never have money, the club kids in London always have their looks together, so maybe this person is from the UK. It’s clear that there is a real vision here. It’s a full-on look.

jacqui

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
She looks like a clubby girl who thinks she’s funky but really isn’t. First off, her belt is too high. I’m not seeing a lot of makeup except for that yellow dot under her left eye. It seems like she should be wearing more makeup in general if she’s going to do something that funky—not just a discreet yellow dot. It’s really not all that outrageous, but it is a loud print. I’m not clear about what’s going on with that hat or scarf number, but it certainly goes with nothing, as does the wrist pouf. They each seem to be a different style and are neither here nor there.

LADY BUNNY SAYS:
The bunny cartoon character on the shirt is definitely appropriate. And the candy bracelets, girlish pinwheel, schoolgirl skirt, and high socks are all spot-on. Sneaker culture has been big for years, but these particular sneakers aren’t quite up to snuff; they’re too chunky. She should get a pair of Adidas. All the club kids go to a shop on St. Marks where they add platforms to regular shoes. Sometimes they’ll add alternating layers of black and white until the platforms are quite high. Other than that, she’s got the kiddy look down, but the black skirt and fingerless gloves give her a little touch of “I’m not that innocent.”
