Dumpster Diva Fashion

'Victim Fashion' Combines Tatters and Lace for Fall 09

For its Fall ‘09 collection, London based label Victim Fashion has certainly lived up to its name; layers and layers of ripped, torn and rugged lace, satins, prints, chiffons and every other type of fabric imaginable paired with fashionably tattered tights and ratted, matted, gargantuan hair made for a risque assortment of models that gave every appearance that they had actually just emerged
from a dumpster and stumbled onto the runway.

For what could be a complete disaster of excess, designer Mei Hui Liu has paired the myriad of fabrics together quite successfully, creating a collection of clothing suitable for the street or your next Halloween party.
