I saw this photo last week, and it was on my desktop for a while…
When I read the Thread title in MPSIMS, I didn’t even have to open it. I knew what the OP was referring to.
And personally, I think the garment is over-the-top hot. As is the model.
(And the expression means “Would you like to touch my monkey? Too bad on you, but you may not. But come back tomorrow and I will show you my monkey again.” In a bad Bavarian accent, of course.)
Even as a hormonal twentysomething, that dress does nothing for me, nor does the model. She scares me, honestly.
I have heard it explained before that at the big shows, the models aren’t actually wearing an outfit that you would out and about; they are showcasing the general trend for the upcoming season.
Nope, still doesn’t make me think they are less nutty. Thank Mars for Gap, RL, TH, et cetera. Sure, it’s mainstream and whatnot, but it ain’t clods of grass being worn as shoes.
Some of us suspect that it’s the designer’s way of figuring out whom their best customers will be.
Namely, “If they’re idiots enough to buy this, they’ll buy anything from me”
To be honest…I believe I’d trade places with that thong for awhile if I had the chance.
got any better pics of the model?
Okay where’s the next photo in that series? The one where her head is completely turned around and she’s spitting up stuff the exact same color as her dress?
SO! You wish to caress the firm, rounded, fleshy hillocks of Nebucar the Nebulizer? I think not foolish mortal!
This line of thinking needs to be fully explored! If this matter is going to be properly investigated, I believe it incumbent upon you to come up with more pictures. Ya. More pictures…
Being from a Ukrainian designer, I’ll go with “Celebrating the 18th Anniversary of the Chernobyl Meltdown”.
And yes, it does look as stupid as you think.
As to the dress with the back that goes down below the buttocks, I get the feeling the designer had a general medical checkup recently and drew inspiration from the hospital gown.
I’m not that worried about her head anyway. Hell you could get rid of it completely as far as I’m concerned. It’s been awhile guys. 
too long I’m afraid
Uh…
[r lee ermey] That’s so ugly it could be a modern art masterpiece [/r lee ermey]
The model is not that cute, either. What the hell is it with these skeletal, transparent women? A person who is 5’6" should not, under normal circumstances, weigh less than 100 pounds, somethin just not right about a woman that has no curves, it’s…
…Unamerican.
What I heard is that these designers, in between designing clothes that people would wear, design clothes that people wouldn’t wear, just as artistic expression, and that the runway shows are sort of like gallery openings. Sort of the fashion equivalent of abstract art in between landscapes and portraits.
Okay, this could be salvaged: take away the funky harness thingy, and remake the lace overdress so it was of the same pattern as the underdress, and you’d have a pretty pink slip dress with a black lace overlay. I dunno about the babushka, though.
Lose the round neck strap thingy, and this would be pretty
HATE the face thingy; LOVE the top
Okay, this I like! Bright cherry red slinky evening gowns (most likely bias-cut!), with feather boas.
Over the top, but gorgeous
I LOVE the colors in the dress on the left.
What. The. Fuck?! When the revolution comes, this guy is first up against the wall.
I like the mask. It’s pretty cool. Not too fond of anything else you linked to though.
That pattern evokes too much of a cow (think Gateway).
Not for a dinner date, though Imagine trying to eat soup decorously wearing that contraption…
OMG!!! Bwahahaha! :rolleyes: 
I cannot believe I got through that whole 277 photo slide show. Good thing that I don’t have anything more interesting to do… like contemplate which color white is on a particular wall.
Regardless, here’s faithfool’s hopeless synopsis…
Still. I found some interesting stuff, just like you guys. Lessee… I found a space alien/linebacker. A trapper, several down-on-their-luck hookers (undoubtedly with a heart of gold, natch), one extremely LARGE peacock, the chick who’s hair is fashioned into a Bonzai Tree (!!!) and another who looks like she took up Scarlet’s idea to wear drapes.
Then we had lots more themes going on… pirates, the jungle, motorcycle babes, Zena look-alikes mixed with some sort of wench bondage thing, the whole Village of David Bowie’s Damned motif (we can think a designer named Amsler for those mental pariahs), a group that fluctuates between 50s kitchen kitsch and a grandma-era depression look and a cross of plantation slave and beach thingie.
Now for questions…
What the hell was Tommy Lee doing looking at fashions? Shouldn’t he restrict his viewing to a Fredrick’s of Hollywood show?
Say what about all the giant ribbons and bows. Is that supposed to mean something or am I just out of the loop? But I do shop the Target clearance bins though, so maybe I don’t know proper taste if it hit me in my surgical get-up. 
Asphyxiation??!! Was that the premise they were headed for? I mean, I can understand playing to desires of a more prurient
nature, but c’mon! Either that or she’s got a friggin’ gift bag on her head and stumbled on to the runway after an intense baby shower for a co-worker at the local Hallmark.
It’s strange when the post apocalyptic, the bad 80s resurgence, the leather and pimp faction, “The Wall” dimentia, breast plates, totally (RAD!) mis-matched colors and the Lolita/Goth/Bettie Page mix seems normal and almost do-able for the average, chunky-like-me female. If that stuff starts showing up in Wal*Mart, be very afraid. We talkin’ middle America here and able to afford less than 10 bucks. In pleather no less. :eek:
I did like a few things. Guin linked to some and other than that, I could envision toned down versions of The Flapper, Belly Dancer (the Indian clothes were incredibly pretty) and The Less of Madonna Thrift Store flavors.
And in keeping with the spirit of the OP, I unearthed for y’all’s viewing pleasure at least two more “barely there” pictures interspersed with some less convential fare to blow your mind. Enjoy!
*Is this the mix between sugar and spice? Helmet-esque.
*Are those rag weave Innuit boots? Ugh! Or should I say “Ugg” to Paris clones?? 
*Wholesome Bridezilla meets slutty Victoria’s Secret!
*And I thought (prayed!) we’d never have to endure layers with cabbage roses again!!
*Do you swim in it, watch videos while you drive or wear it during Jazzercize?
*Foxy Brown or Beyonce’ ain’t got nothin’ on these ladies! Shaft indeed.
Oh, and I almost forgot my favorites! The Willie Wonka Imitations! New for candy lovers everywhere this season!! Free Gobstoppers with every $4000 neon t-shirt purchase. Then, remember to stop by our famous Cotton Candy Hair Salon and get this year’s fried-out perm, largest-badly-shaped afro in the world with God awful unnatural color! Come in today and we’ll throw in a matching authentic Oompa Loompa tote!!
(PS. Those that said the more outlandish outfits are more performance art than real fashions, I believe are correct. I’ve read the same thing too and God knows that has to be true. Or else how could one eat through whatever accessory or walk, sit or not be attacked as rabid?!)
