Miss Piggy: A style icon for 2012
For last night’s UK premiere of the Muppets Movie, Miss Piggy stepped out in a silver leather dress made especially for her by British designer Giles Deacon
Miss
Piggy is fast becoming the style icon du jour – obviously, she never
looks less than the true embodiment of perfection, but recently she has
raised her fashion game to a whole new stratosphere. Out on the red
carpet to promote her latest starring role in the Muppets Movie [Kermit: Hey, the rest of us are in it too!] the best-dressed pig in town wore a bespoke creation by Giles Deacon. It’s a fitting match: Miss Piggy is obviously the shiniest, most dazzling [Kermit: Keep going with the compliments, you’re going to have to lay it on a bit thicker than that…] most effervescent star on the planet, and Giles Deacon
is an incendiary talent in the London design scene. One of the leading
lights of London Fashion Week, Giles’ Spring/Summer 2012 collection
featured silver laser-cut leather dresses, which served as the basic
inspiration for Miss Piggy’s red carpet look. Of course, her dress was
far superior to his standard catwalk designs – her shimmering silver
fringed frock was the talk of the city [handbag.com: Do you reckon that’s enough? Kermit: Yup, that should just about do it.]
Don’t know if Jim Henson expected his muppets to be such icons. But. We
ALL know and love Miss Piggy for many reasons. My favorite is her
fashion doll looks. – - ©Handbag.com |
