Fashion: Bad taste clashing - it's good to be bad

Photos / Mara Sommer

What defines good taste? This season, designers push it to the next level. From granny, geek and "ugly" chic, take an irreverent spin with bad taste clashing. Think delinquent ra-ra skirts and cha-cha heels straight out of a John Waters movie or the cowl necks and baguette handbags from the noughties. Be brash and bold, even for just a day - because it's good to be bad.
