2. Imagine how this poor guy feels....



Fortunately his face is covered so you can't see the sheer mortification on his face as he is forced to walk down the runway in a fucking wedding dress with a jacket and fencing mask and white nail polish.

5. Has anyone ever actually seen a real person wearing one of these get-ups?
What is the purpose of this, besides making models feel like complete idiots?

7. I honestly think they save the bad one's for the people they hate.
"How dare that asshole talk back to me....see how he feels walking down the runway in a tutu and tux"

9. It's a type of art, they don't expect people to wear it day to day.
A lot of people don't seem to get that. (Not saying this is GOOD art, mind you.)

11. It amuses me to see people freaking out about that stuff though.
"THEY EXPECT PEOPLE TO WEAR THAT?! FASHION DESIGNERS ARE TEH RETAAAARDZ!!1!"

But when was the last time you saw that stuff anywhere but the runway? I'm by no means a fashionista, but come on, fashion designers aren't idiots.

15. Tee-hee. I get your point, but I ain't putting much faith in the IQ of the artist...
...that designed that designed an outfit that would make a burka blush.

8. The designer has an unhealthy obsession with tennis, it would seem
I'll always defend haute couture and that shit as art, not something designers expect people to wear day to day, but a lot of it is still ugly as balls, that's for sure.

18. Perhaps they designed for the court. They look very comfortable for sports.

17. I consider that abominably bad taste rather than fashion.
