From bold polka dots from Marc Jacobs to BCBG’s romantic florals, the S/S 2015 trends point in one seriously colorful direction. While we can’t wait to spring ahead and sport a floaty dress, one step outside has us snapping back to reality. Yes, the weather’s getting darker and colder, and things feel a bit more dreary now that New York Fashion Week has officially come to a close.
What can a fashion addict do? As we cope by scanning through glossy slideshows of all the biggest runway trends and #iwokeuplikethis selfies from our favorite celebs and bloggers, let’s face it, we’re all in need of some novelty in our lives. But rather than fall into a slump, we’re cheering ourselves up with the latest fashion faux pas from Jimmy Kimmel Live. Warning: hilarity ensued!
Kimmel catches some unsuspecting fashionistas at Lincoln Center, eager to prove they’re always in-the-know about the next big thing. When asked about the recent collections from “little known” designers, like Betsey Ross and Chandler Bing, they barely bat an eyelash at these completely made up trends, and it’s amusing to say the least!
While we don’t want to give anything else away, it’s pretty hilarious that they actually took the concept of a “Headless Dress” seriously. Break up the monotony of your post-NYFW blues, pause that Alexander Wang show (you were re-watching it, anyway!) and take a peek at the latest “Lie Witness News: NYFW Edition”.

I liked how you contrasted the dreamy S/S 2015 prints like Marc Jacobs polka dots with the gloomy post-fashion-week vibe, then flipped it with the prank segment. The Betsey Ross and Chandler Bing designers were a perfect touch.
The part about everyone confidently reacting to totally fake collections felt painfully accurate for Lincoln Center crowds. It’s funny how quickly people nodded along instead of questioning something as absurd as a headless silhouette.
Honestly, the transition from scrolling #iwokeuplikethis posts to watching Lie Witness News made sense, because both are kind of about perception. The prank just exposes it in a way that’s way more entertaining.
That “Headless Dress” bit got me, especially since some of them tried to describe how they’d style it like it was a real runway piece. Kimmel really nailed how far people will go to sound in-the-know during NYFW.
