March 15, 2019: Fashion is Stupid

Carruthers · 03-20-2019, 06:22 AM

Do any of the 'creations' that emerge at fashion shows around the globe, actually make it to the shops?
Have you ever seen the female members of your family, friends or neighbours wear one of these abominations?
My extensive knowledge of haute couture suggests that your answer is probably 'no'.

Incidentally, a few years ago there was an enormous fuss about the fashion 'industry' using models who bore a striking resemblance to cadaverous stick insects rather than more healthily proportioned women.
I remember one designer saying that very thin models were required otherwise 'the clothes didn't hang right'.
As near as you'll get to an example of the crime fitting the punishment rather than the other way around.

Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and cancel my subscription to Vogue.

Yes, many of them are knocked off by the garment industry, but none of the ones that make the internet.

The OP said Fashion is Stupid.
That was an understatement.

I don't know any females that would wear that, and very few males that would.

Johnny Weir would absolutely wear those.

Gotta be solid gold with paint on it for that price, right?
