Would you let this guy dress you?

[Yes, that's an embroidered ribcage.]

After seeing some of the initial pieces from the Propr line David Arquette designed with fashion victim/soulful strummer Ben Harper, I might actually give him a chance. (But no femur-on-the-outside action, um-kay Dave?)

Though online images of the collection — named for the French word propre, meaning "fitting" or "appropriate" — are scarce right now, here's one of my favorite designs:

[Cotton twill dress, $365 at Barneys New York]

The cartoon-ish bird print is just precious. The line also features comfy graphic tees and some menswear inspired pieces. Your thoughts, dearies?

p.s. And let me clarify: I'm not absolving Mr. Courteney Cox of his past style faux pas or abject acting in movies like "Scream 3" and "See Spot Run." He needs more than a bird mini to make up for those sins. If he threw in some mid-priced skinny jeans and some tees, I might think about it.
