DIY fashionAs a teenager I went to the Venice Carnival. I made a mask out of a paper plate, got a metal coathanger and bent it into horns around my head and draped a black tshirt over that. At the time I thought I looked really cool, but thinking it over...
Tell us about your own oh-so-cool fashion innovations.

Rollerball Fashion MurderOnce back in the late 90's I was walking down Kilburn High Road wearing the following:
Purple crushed velvet ankle length coat
Black shirt
Black tie
Black embroidered waistcoat
Black leather jeans
Black ex-police motorcycle boots (the old style that weren't too clumpy)
Black leather gloves
Black sunglasses.
I also had long hair, bleached white (that I thought made me look like Elric of Melnibone, not just an idiot - I may have been wrong)
To describe the total look, it sort of looked like James Caan in Rollerball from the waist down and like a foppish twat from the waist up.
Although I probably looked like an arse, I liked it at the time so have no regrets. Also some bloke came up to me and laughingly said "What do you think you look like?"
"Not like you" I replied.
I still own the coat!
