You've Come a Long Way, Snuggie

Earlier today Snuggie and Fashion Week collided, as the sleeved blankets took the runway at the Snuggie fall 2009/winter 2010 collection show. The invite read that it would "showcase the latest colors, fabrics and patterns" and feature "the sexiest looks in blanket-wear," for not only adults, but kids and canines as well. (Sadly, it doesn't look like the SnugWow was featured.)

While Anna Wintour didn't seem to make it, these 12 other people did! Sure attendance was low, but the show did get a lot of sexy Twitter action, including one wanna-be fashionista's opinion that "Snuggie is a disgrace to Fashion Week." Oh, c'mon, hating on Snuggies is like hating on puppies!

UPDATE: We hear these styles are already on shelves in Bed, Bath & Beyond—is this the first collection that's ever gone from "off the rack" to Fashion Week?

Whoever is caught wearing these ridiculous things should be beaten & ostracized.

i love it! it's hilarious! okay, time for a nap.

This is what our culture have come to: the shit you wear while lounging on the couch on a cold, crappy night is considered 'sexy' fashion. Where are the high-heel bunny slippers to really complete the ensemble?

culture has come to, damnit.

Where are the feline Snuggie models?

Search Youtube for "WTF Blanket." It's all the response these things really need.

Bjork now has an outfit to wear to her next awards show.

Of course, if Yohji Yamamoto did this in black and gray with more rarefied fabrics, everyone would be going nuts.

Anna Wintour's Snuggie is made from two asian boys. So naturally, she wasn't invited.
