Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B Spring 2008 Collection

Gwen Stefani's collection revived early eighties ska/punk, complete with ankle-length stovepipes, checkers and tartans galore. To some the look is dear, feminine versions of schoolboy blazers with contrasting piping, cuffed shorts, argyle sweaters paired with button-down shirts and ties, bomber jackets in leopard-print satin and plaid "swinging" blazers.

However, fashion experts were not impressed with Stefani's evening looks, awkward mid-calf hemlines and cheap-looking fabrics that made the dresses look as though they were pulled from a thrift store bargain bin. Looking at the brighter side of life, every guest at the show received a full-sized bottle of the new L.A.M.B. fragrance and can have a million dollar picture of Gwen and Gavin Rossdale with their adorable baby.

However, there were negative articles written to contradict Leona's "mission". She was spotted wearing a leather jacket and carrying Prada handbag with vird feathers. Does she deserve the title?
