L.A.M.B. PVC Houndstooth Bag


Trust L.A.M.B. to continue its houndstooth crusade with this shocker of an 80's retro stylings of a bag. Something you might have worn with your parachute pants while out shopping for Duran Duran records. The "acid" fading makes it look like it has been sitting on a trash heap since the 80s and only recently creatively repurposed with a seatbelt for a strap. $175 at ShopBop.

Taylor Momsen Houndstooth Reaper


Spotted, Taylor Momsen houndstoothing it on the set of Gossip Girl. Watch out little J, the grim reaper called and he wants his vestments back. You know you love me. XOXO.

Houndstooth Jesus

I guess sooner or later it was obvious that houndstooth fever would fuse with religious iconography to create some hyper-surreal imagery.

From the Speaking Tees website:

"The Baker Family introduces their own merchandise of creative Biblical imagery and symbolism for t-shirts. Yes, that might be a mouthful, but their intentions are to fill and uplift your spirit! Knowing that the Bible speaks to everyone differently, they have purposefully created Speaking Tees to speak to YOU!"

Hence the "Houndstooth Jesus" t-shirt below. Which essentially says to me... "Rasputin?".

Houndstooth Stamper


WTF! It's all I can muster. WTF!!!!! Why would you need a stamper that stamps houndstooth. Unless maybe you were tagging in the stairwell of Dover Street Market. Or leaving enigmatic clues on some grim trail of argento style bloody carnage. I could totally see a leather clad glove carrying this and a straight razor around on a crime spree. A slash and stamp. What would you possibly use this for!! And why would I feel so angry about it?!! Crap. No wonder the world is crumbling. When we invest all our ingenuity, effort, and materials into manufacturing things like this! And then provoking other people to waste time blogging about it!!!!

Sean Lewis Does Houndstooth


New York artist Sean Lewis dallying with houndstooth. Another example of an artist fascinated enough by the pattern to provocatively squeeze and mutilate it while seeking something more than its straightforward and insipid mathematics. Good work.

Keri Hilson Houndstooth Hobo Sack


Keri Hilson at the Georgia GRAMMY Nominee Reception in Atlanta. She's carrying one of the previously profiled McQueen sacks which looks like it's made of materials left over from shredded houndstooth dresses he couldn't sell.


And this top view of the bag only reaffirms the allusions to the Alien movie franchise that are appearing in his latest works.

Ashlee Simpson Does Houndstooth


Another Ashlee robed in fashion's scabies. This is not the first times she's been tracked in the enemy pattern. For a further barrage of celeb houndstooth visit Fashion In Motion's blog entry on the houndstooth trend. More houndstooth than you can chuck a molotov cocktail at.

And then buy me this hot Ben Sherman tie and jacket also profiled on the blog. Do eeeet!

Ashley Greene Does Houndstooth


Twlight's Alice leaving LAX wrapped in a rug-like houndstooth sweater with a better dressed boyfriend in hand.

Portable Drying Rack


The blog You Want Me To Wear What? killed a certain Patterson J. Kincaid Houndstooth Print "Jenny" Dress calling it a blanket of repurposed houndstooth scarves. It's nice to see someone else heckling houndstooth for a change. If you want to look like you are wearing the entrails of a parrotfish this portable drying rack dress is available at bloomingdale's for $128.
