Other catwalk queens had bejewelled breasts in Anthony Vaccarello’s debut show for Saint ­Laurent.

And stars such as Miley Cyrus have worn the saucy stickers. But are they the breast in fashion or should the style be nipped in the bud?

We found out how the trend measured up on trip  to the shops.

“Most people stare awkwardly at me then turn away.

“They just don’t know where to look.

“A man walks past and says, ‘Well, that made my Friday worthwhile’  as he checks me out. I find myself ­a bit lost for words.”

“So many people are staring at me.  A guy asks: ‘It’s a bit too cold to be wearing that, isn’t it?’ He says it to my boob, though.”

“The staff at the pub act­ually turn me away because of my outfit so I have to stand outside.
“It’s ironic because the sign by the door invites punters to come in ­during ‘nippy October’.
“I won’t be coming here on a night out, that’s for sure.”

“As soon as I step on the escalator, I hear a wave of comments from all  the tourists behind me.

“I can’t stop laughing thinking about it.

“Some of them even get out their mobiles so they could capture the moment.”
