Trendlette - Cutouts

Mama always told us not to play with scissors, but clearly these Edward Scissorhands wannabe designers weren't listening. The Spring 2010 runways at New York Fashion Week kept last spring's ubiquitous cutout trend alive, resulting in slashes, perforations and gaping holes galore.

And to think of all the moth-eaten sweaters and holey T-shirts we've stupidly thrown out over the years.

Take a look at these trend-setting cutout runway looks ... or just grab some scissors and start cutting.

Spring 2010 Trend: Cutouts
Are you cut out to wear this trend?

Spring 2010 Trend - Cutouts

    Jill Stuart - Spring 2010

    Fang-like slits along the arms and belly added serious edge to Jill Stuart's Spring 2010 collection. But does anyone else see a bearded dude's face?

    Kristian Dowling, Getty Images for IMG

    Alexander Wang - Spring 2010

    Finally -- a runway look for UPS employees who just want to show off their happy trail. For his Spring 2010 line, Alexander Wang chose to put the spotlight on the lower belly, dangerously close to the pelvic bone. Tall girls, consider yourself warned.

    Thomas Concordia, WireImage

    Carolina Herrera - Spring 2010

    Coming soon to a Renee Zellweger premiere near you: this dramatic Carolina Herrera for Spring 2010 gown with slivers of bare skin over the breasts.

    JP Yim, WireImage

    Cushnie Et Ochs - Spring 2010

    Well, here's the perfect dress for slashing, er, flashing some cleavage. Cushnie et Ochs' little black dress is just one of many sliced-and-diced looks the duo showed for Spring 2010.

    JP Yim, WireImage

    Erin Wasson - Spring 2010

    Denim one-alls and ribs just seem to go together, don't they? Blue jean baby queens with rock-hard abs can show them off in this cutout romper from the Erin Wasson x RVCA Spring 2010 collection.

    Frazer Harrison, Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz

    Hervé Léger - Spring 2010

    Herve Leger's shimmering onesie for whippet-thin ice skaters from Spring 2010 boasts flesh-exposing cutouts that wouldn't have been out of place in Buffalo Bill's sewing room.

    JP Yim, WireImage

    Max Azria - Spring 2010

    The pleated slits on this nude dress from Max Azria's Spring 2010 show guarantee an up close and personal profile shot. Choose your underwear accordingly.

    Frazer Harrison, Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz

    Michael Kors - Spring 2010

    This watercolor skirt and pastel sweater combo scream Michelle Obama, but the coming apart at the seams style -- while adding edge to an otherwise elegant ensemble -- might mean First Lady style scandal come spring.

    Jemal Countess, Getty Images for IMG

    Rodarte - Spring 2010

    So much for fall's bulky shoulders. The latest collection from the always inventive Rodarte sisters included tribal, organic-feeling cutouts such as this tangled, bare-shoulder creation.

    Heathcliff O'Malley, Catwalking/Getty Images

    Yigal Azrouël - Spring 2010

    Bathing suit shopping just got a whole lot scarier thanks to the asymmetrical cutout side panels of Yigal Azrouel's white one-piece for Spring 2010. The pale and pudgy need not apply.

    Frazer Harrison, Getty Images for IMG

Working as an esthetician I always get people asking what they can do about their wrinkles and cellulite. For wrinkles I tell them about (re)print http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com and how it is an unbelievable anti-aging, anti-wrinkle cream that is actually made with Stemplex, a Swiss apple complex, containing plant stem cells that revitalizes the skin and reduces signs of aging. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%. http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com

For cellulite problems I always recommend http://cli.gs/CelluliteSolutions a cellulite toning system that is clinically proven to smooth cellulite and firm in as little as 72 hours.

As if everyone doesn't show enough skin already. Please, pretty soon it's going to be trendy to look like a prositute. Leave a little for the imagination ladies and maybe then you won't get used like a brown paper bag.

Why is it so hard for people to comment on what ever the topic is rather then post a bunch of links that we care nothing about. I would like to ask everyone to keep hitting the "Report" button on these people.
Now back to the subject... some of these I like and some are a little off the wall, but the designers are just picking up on what the kids in schools are doing to their clothes and making it seem like "WOW look what we thought up". I really would like to see designers, design clothes for REAL women with curves. I applaud the women that do, do this because some of the outfits don't cover much, but they are only 1/100,000 of the body style in the world today.

When will designers stop designing for women who look like anorexic, gawky, prepubescent boys? Anyone can make something hang well when the model is basically a hanger. Average women are 5'5" to 5'6", yet designers create for the few women who are 5'10" and over--and when will they realize women have busts? I'm not asking designers to imagine only size 12 or larger, I'm just asking they put their imagination and talents to a better use. Maybe they just aren't as talented as they think.

I am a typical 29 year old male, and let me tell you ladies something.....Do not think that a figure such as these women have is what men want....They have no figure....It seems very unhealthy to me, and not very comfortable to wrap your arms around.

personally i would not be able to help but SMILE while modeling, hello!! looking fabulous (aside from some being too thin however) wearing, albeit sometimes strange clothes, but nonetheless expensive, and all the pictures being taken...you'd think these models would manage to look happier!

maybe their too busy thinking about food...

Don't you just want to thank your lucky stars that you DON"T have to wear clothes like these? Nor do you have to starve yourself to look as emaciated as these models!

guess i'd look mad walking down the run way too, if i had to wear some of these clothes. seriously- who could realistically wear these things? where would you wear them? and how much harrasment would you have to put up with if you did wear these things? maybe the designers are homosexual, and would never harrass a woman, but real men in the real world would harrass any woman wearing this "clothing". and i also think models should go on strike, fight for their right to gain a bit of weight and look like a woman is supposed to look- HEALTHY. REAL women ARE CURVY. these designers are mysogonistic. for making them starve themselves, and for designing ugly clothes for women to wear. give me a t-shirt, flannel shirt and jeans any day. the designers can keep their over priced rags. the way i see it, the less cloth- the less it should cost. idiots.

I have a brother who does photography as sort of a paid avocation. He's very good at it. He told me something interesting once. He didn't say much more because it was just a passing remark he made while we were looking at some of his work. He said, "Pretty girls are photographed smiling. *Really beautiful* girls are photographed not smiling, in fact almost frowning." I don't know why this is, but it's accepted in the photography world. It's the same with football players and other sports figures. They are photographed looking mean, foreboding, and downright scary. They are heroes to kids, and yet make themselves look like monsters. What kid would approach someone and ask for an autograph or to pose for a picture when he looks like he would just as soon kill him as talk to him. And add to that the fact that these guys are all millionaires. Why aren't they happy? Why do they allow photographs of themselves looking like convicted felons to be published? I don't get it. Can anyone help me out with this?
