Heather Mills wants to turn trash to treasure. Problem is, will fashion lovers find her new eco-conscious line couture or purely comical?

Mills premiered her Be@one recycled clothing line at the Celebrity Catwalk charity event supporting animal rescue charities in Hollywood last night (Aug. 27). She also received an award for animal activism at the event

According to Mills' Web site, she started the women's and menswear collection because "society throws away over a million tons of clothing and textiles into the rubbish bins annually. Many of these items could be resold or remade into something new and exciting."

Let's just call Mills' collection ... umm ... theatrical? If you're a can-can girl who enjoys giant vertical slashes in your knickers, or a man who prefers his tuxedo pants in the form of shorts, this might just be the line for you. All others will get a nice chuckle out of it. Clearly, Stella McCartney's design aesthetic didn't rub off on her former stepmother.

Have an audition coming up for the Broadway production of "Moulin Rouge"? Then you should rush out and buy this Be@one can-can number. If not, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Splash News

Our mothers told us that if we didn't have anything nice to say, then to say nothing at all. So, we're being very, very quiet. Okay, we just can't. Look at her Nu Bra showing through the dress!

Splash News

Oh, this one is just too easy. We mean, really? If Heather Mills can find a man to buy this shrunken, off-skew ... dare we call it ... tuxedo ... we'll eat the recycled clothes it was made from. We're pretty sure Paul McCartney will not be wearing this anytime soon.

Splash News

When designers attack! Seriously, what happened here? Were her pants too tight and they split? Did a tiger take a swipe at her pre-show? Oh, wait...These vertical slashes were done on purpose. Somewhere, Stella McCartney is probably doing some serious eye-rolling. Or laughing. Wildly.

Splash News

We didn't think this evening number from Heather Mills' new Be@one eco line was so bad, until we noticed that Halloween-orange flash of brightness at the hem. And what's going on at the bustline? Did it rip? Was it slashed? Mauled? And are those purple shoes?! Add a pointy hat, and you've got the Wicked Witch of the West.

Splash News

Is this Heather Mills' take on a wedding dress? At least the groom is wearing actual full-length pants. Though, the whole number is way better suited to the next installment of "Miami Vice."

Splash News

We could definitely picture Celebrity Catwalk's host for the evening, Bridget Marquardt -- she of "Girls Next Door" fame -- wearing one of the designs to an over-the-top costume party at the Playboy Mansion.

Be@one will produce two collections per year and Mills' site says they will be available shortly from bat1.com.

So, what do you think of the clothes? Trash to treasure, or just plain trash? Leave a comment below!

I guess she likes to be laughed at? No class here....clearly none. Better to say "give it up already". Sorry I wasted my
time to look at her pictures.

IF IT WASNT FOR PAUL MCCARTNEY SHE WOULD OF BEEN A NOBODY--WHEN HER FAKE LEG FELL OFF DURING THE DANCE IT WAS PAY BACK FOR WHAT SHE DID. I DONT BELIEVE THOSE LIES ABOUT HOW SHE WAS OH SO ABUSED BY HIM---

SHE WAS IN IT FOR HIS MILLIONS AND SADLY THE BITCH GOT IT--

SHE PROBABLY USES SALVATION ARMY BOX CLOTHES TO RECYCLE HER JUNK--

SHE NEEDS TO TAKE THAT TROPHY AND STICK IT UP HER PHONY ASS--

TO PAUL: WATCH WHO YOU HOOK UP WITH THE NEXT ROUND--

PERSONALLY SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE A GARMENT AND WRAP IT AROUND HER NECK---

HEY HEATHER -CANT TAKE ALL YOUR LUXURIES TO THE OTHER SIDE WITH YOU--
HOE-

There are people in this world who would appreciate Heather Mills style and choice fabrics for fashion. It is a good idea to re-purpose fabric/material. I do it for quilting purposes and other creative ideas. It's a step in the right direction. Yes, people do throw out millions of tons of material each year, but if we used our creativity to re-purpose it, it would make a lot of difference with our waste problem. Oh, and i didn't really appreciate the negativity about Heather Mills with each picture. I'm not a fan of hers, but the negativity shouldn't be made.

'Re -purpose' yes, but not into halloween costumes! AS far as the negativity goes, those comments were being made as a critique of her clothing. That's what you do when you review things like this. Grow up!

sig, 8-30-2009, 12:56PM

The ONLY people who would appreciate her garments are the throwback so called "designers" on Project Runway. These people wouldn't know how to construct and finish a garment properly if their lives depended on it. I watched that show for several seasons in HORROR as they made Mills type clothing.

OH SO WE SHOULD GIVE PRAISE TO THE WRONG DOERS

THATS WHATS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY-

TELL ME? IF A ROBBER KNOCKED ON YOUR DOOR

AFTER ROBBING YOUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE--

WOULD YOU FEED HIM? MY ANSWER-- HELL NO

BUT THOSE WHO TAKE TAKE TAKE ARE PRAISED

SO WHY SHOULD I LIKE HER STYLE-HER STYLE IS TAKING

OPM- OTHER PEOPLES MONEY!!! ENOUGH SAID

Looks like a normal runway show to me. It's actually pretty mild. Runway shows are never what the general public would wear.

I totally agree! There are only a few outfits that I would dislike, the rest are pretty colors, and fairly normal....could even see people wearing them. Don't these people pay attention to the big fashion shows? There's not a human alive that would wear some of that crap if they weren't being paid to do it....huge wings sticking out, sharp edges, hats that look like humongous cheeri-o's etc. Heather Mills may not be everyone's favorite person, but her clothing is normal for industry standards.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!

Stella McCartney must be quivering in her boots right about now. @@

Possibly the WORST fashion line I have ever seen. Looks like garbage any hippie could put together from bin scraps. What a waste of Paul's money.

Her clothing line seems to take on HER personality. Used up, tasteless, and will do anything for money...

Auntie r, 8-30-2009, 10:48AM

You said it all...her line is trashy just like her!

Terry, 8-30-2009, 9:10AM

Nothing you could tell me about Heather would change the way I feel about her.She is a golddigger and a waste of oxygen as far as I'm concerned. You can't take it with you, Money would burn where you are going anyway. Take that to te bank Bitch!!
