Peek-a-Boo, I See You: Designers Go Sheer, Slashed and See-Through

You might want to invest in some really nice bras and panties come spring--you know, the kind you won't mind everyone seeing. That is unless you want to wear these looks directly off the Paris runways--in which case, just throw them out. There's always a bit of nudity on the runways, especially in Paris where they just don't care as much, but from completely sheer frocks, to hip-high slits (and Karlie Kloss' bare bum closing Dior), we've seen more of models than usual. While we don't mind a little nudity on the runway, let's just hope this trend doesn't catch on with the red carpet crowd (Lindsay Lohan, we're looking at you). And now, without further ado, our favorite peek-a-boo moments from the collections.

Anthony Vaccarello showed a gown so slashed up that it's probably the only maxi dress in existence which would still require a bikini wax. Make that a Brazilian bikini wax.

We're not sure what purpose A.F. Vandevorst's scarf/necklace/top could possibly serve. Then again, if you're essentially topless, does it really matter?

We actually think Akris's sheer frock is extremely pretty...for a bathing suit cover-up.

Image Title9

Here's a dress--from agnès b--that could be sweet and demure. Except for the whole exposed breast thing, of course.

Image Title10

A titillating (get it?) look from Aganovich. But we guess with a hat like that, no one will be looking at your nipples.

Central St. Martin's Final Selections Announced: See The Designs That Were Left Behind

Whether it was from exhaustion or elation, a few tears were shed and a tantrum or two thrown inside talent incubator Central St. Martins this past Monday. Why the brouhaha? The 40 graduates who'll make it into the final press show next Tuesday--the one that's covered by everyone from Fashionista to Style.com to Vogue UK--were chosen. And while about 80 students were left behind, most of the creations shown in Monday's preliminary trial were anything but forgettable.
