Umm… that was a very interesting type of outfit. I think it’s a little too avant-garde for my tastes though. You should go there and give it a second look, **SPOOFE**.

FTR - My view of clothing is exactly the same as **SPOOFE** ’s.

I would love to have a fitted suit. A fitted suit from 100 years ago would look smart today, and will probably look smart in 100 years time.

Hehe, I wouldn’t stand near any open flames if I were you and wearing that outfit!

Disregarding the walking eating disorders they call “supermodels”, I’d like to say that about 99% of what they are trying to call _haute couture_ is more like stuff that a crack-head Hollywood wardrobe manager might come up with after (or during) a three day binge without sleep.

Too often I see something that is different solely for the sake of being different. Not innovative, not original, not creative, just different. Sorry, but different does not equal brilliant. These lunatic so-called “fashion designers” are charging bazillions of dollars for whatever they decide to throw over the fence.

People who are so enslaved to fashion that they would buy it … deserve it.
