The Fashion Statement: Little Rain Coats

Filed under: Apparel, The Fashion Statement

Today's April Fools and so, logically, begins The Penis Festival, a traditional celebration of fertility in Japan where people pay tribute to all things phallic. Tonight, Chef Tadashi Ono at NYC's Matsuri restaurant is offering a one-night-only Penis Matsuri dinner after which guests will be given a complimentary Jeremy Scott for Proper Attire condoms.

You may be wondering what all this has to do with fashion. Plenty, according to Lady Gaga. "It's not complicated, just a fashion statement," said the pop star recently about her collaboration with the designer (pictured above). "Everybody wrap it up with Jeremy Scott for Proper Attire condoms," she added. The condoms come ribbed, sheer and dotted.

Scott is not the first designer to revamp little rain coats. In 2008, Marc Jacobs unveiled a line of MJ blue condoms with a little note that read "Remember, safety first! XXOO, Marc Jacobs."

Fashion designer Alexander Wang not only has a fashion show planned for February 14, he's also debuting his new limited-edition condom on the same day. Wang has partnered with Planned Parenthood to be the next designer for Proper Attire, the fashionable condoms mean to encourage women to carry condoms. The condoms come in five styles (basic,colored, studded, extra large and sheer) in packaging created by a designer. Last September, Yigal Azrouël created a line for the brand which was shown at his fashion show. Proper Attire is sold at Thompson Hotels, some Planned Parenthood centers, other select locations and online, with all profits going to Planned Parenthood. Packages of three sell for $5.99.
