How many supermodels would it take to screw a light bulb into this look and turn it into a work of art? Hopefully zero.

We respect Coco Rocha for taking a major fashion risk in this wild design, but the Zac Posen creation looks like it belongs in Liberace's living room...or the lobby of a fabulous Parisian hotel...or the throw away bin of a Project Runway episode...

What could possibly make this piece work? A different palette might be a good place to start. Coco's peaches and cream skin is gorgeous but against this matching material it looks totally washed out. Next we'd try for arm holes that actually feature the arms. If this ruffled top was more cape than cover it might help the lamp shade effect. But the real fix would be one or two less layers on the tent top area.

This silhouette has the potential to be totally FAB, but in this format it's just totally OTT.
