VICE Style's Week in Tidbits

While we at VICE Style struggle to bring you in-depth articles about prostitute-managed fashion labels in Sao Paulo, transvestites wearing bikinis made out of rats, Japanese kids who inject bagels into their faces and photo shoots set amongst suburban tower blocks in Russia, deep down we know that, really, all you want is quick, 30-second hits of dumb, weird, funny fashion news. That's why we created Tidbits, our frequently updated aggregator of all the dumbest, weirdest and funniest stuff we see, watch, hear or read on the fashion part of the internet. Here are this week's best.

Also, because we're nice, open types who have read Wikinomics and understand that, on the internet, getting ahead is about what you give away, we've decided to let you host VICE Style's Tidbits on your own blog, tumblr, website or whatever. Meaning you'll be able to host VICE Style text, pictures and videos or any combination of those in a way that suits you. If that sounds good, click here.

CROCODILE BOOBS

You know what's great about Etsy? The fact that there's absolutely no measure of reason being forced upon the people who sell stuff there – no guidelines and no regulations on what you can or can't do. It's the anti-gravity equivalent of a world governed by market forces. That means that batshit crazy people can make showgirl-style bikini tops with taxidermy alligator heads snarling out of where the boobs should be, and sell them to you so you can consistently get thrown out of your local swimming pool.

BRICK SUITS

This Moschino full brick suit, shown on Monday in Milan, is fucking incredible. I don't know anyone who would ever wear it, but the fact that Moschino are starting to get back into the weird prints that made them amazing in the first place after ten years of releasing tame, stale stuff can only be a good thing.

POW (CLOTHES THAT LOOK LIKE GIFS)

Chinese designer Chi He interned at Jeremy Scott and Eley Kishimoto, which might explain why her designs look a bit like something normally seen on an arcade video game screen. Keeping with that aesthetic, she's had fashion GIF experts REED + RADER create an 8-bit GIF lookbook for her collection POW, which is easily the best development on our bête noire – the lookbook – we've seen this year.

ANTI-BOUNCER SMUGGLE PANTS

You know all of those times you've had to balls whatever it is that you're trying to sneak past bouncers, airport security or the police? American company Scottevest have unintentionally come to your rescue by releasing these travel boxers with a secret pouch that they, rather sweetly, naively and totally unbelievably, intend to sell to people who are worried about having their phone stolen whilst on holiday.

NAZI FASHION MAG

You can tell a lot about an era by the propaganda the magazines ran with. Take this magazine Dutch VICE dug out, Frauen-Warte, a Nazi hausfrau's rag published between 1935 and 1945 and intended to relay propagandistic, anti-intellectual and National Socialist messages about the most important objectives of the second world war to Nazi housewives, alongside more local dilemmas – like how to deal with your clothing ration and what good Nazi hausfraus should wear.
