Everyone's committed some type of faux pas, whether it's a social miscue, nonsensical idea or fashion flub. This cluster is dedicated to the good, the bad and the ugly from Trend Hunter 2008 in terms of fashion. Unquestionably they all rock; however, some of these fashion inspirations were passing trends that remain ice cool but perhaps are best left indoors.
Whether it's dresses inspired by eating disorders, balloon couture, rubber wedding gowns, or golf ball underwear, you can bet these fashion flubs won't be repeated in 2009.
