Well, doesn't this just scream "high fashion" ...

1. I want one! n/m

[MilesColtrane]

2. The Donnie Darko Collection?

[DS1]

3. I thought that was the Navy SEAL Sewage Plant Infiltration Kit

16. *snarf*

[mikeytherat]

4. "The vomit-coloured gimp suit, it is just not right. But, of course! Bunny Ears!

Now, it is couture."

[siligut]

5. I am the eggman!

Eh, ya know.

[dolo amber]

6. Actually, yes it does

"High Fashion" is no different than "high art", it just uses the body as the canvas. I'll never understand how/why that's difficult for people to understand. :shrug:

[Orrex]

7. Because "high art" is a meaningless designator

Meant largely to validate incomprehensibility and to place it on a pedestal where it can be praised for its "genius" rather than mocked for its foolishness.

The term "High fashion" serves a similar function.

8. rockin

:thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Because it gives them something to make fun of.

[darkstar]

12. Exacly....now if they knocked it for simply being derivative

that would be a whole other thing....




:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Hahaha, that was actually the fiirst thing that came to my mind as well.

Buncha Lynch wannabes. :P

[Orsino]

10. "For this I vomited for two weeks straight?" n/t

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

11. That is the UGLIEST thing I've ever seen.

:puke:

It looks like a rabid aardvark after a mass paintball attack.

[zanne]

13. It's great for Easter in Afghanistan. nt

[Tindalos]

14. It got people talking though

I doubt we were expected to buy it, but we have all looked and commented. That probably makes it more successful than most of the things that walked down the runway. Perhaps that was the intention.

As far as I can tell, if you cut a bigger face hole, it's not that different from hoodies in the shops now. Someone (mistakenly) thought I would buy those. Fashion is all about the hits and misses.

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. Ding-ding-ding.

This is the correct answer.

[Heidi]

17. It's more engaging than Dockers or Eddie Bauer.

I wouldn't wear it, but I'd appreciate it, talk about it and look at it, just like I'm doing now.

[Taverner]

19. Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?

Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

[SeattleGirl]

20. So, what kind of drugs do these designers take while coming up

with these atrocities?

[ghostsofgiants]

24. What kind of drugs does any artist take when coming up with anything?

[Burma Jones]

21. I hate to admit this, but, this is what I remember seeing during my first nocturnal emission

Must have been some odd combination of Easter, Playboy Magazine and this cool Black Light Poster I used to have........

[chaska]

22. Got claustrophobia?

[cloudbase]

23. The perfect outfit

to wear to the bank or to be nice and cozy on your next flight.

[sarge43]

25. Silly rabbit. Teach you to hang around a paint factory explosion. n/t

[Zephyrbird]

26. I wonder what Nina Garcia would say..... n/t

ick!

[xchrom]

27. the designers global view of ne-net -- or kimokawa

also known as 'sickening cute' -- is really complex and holds some brilliant stuff -- you've taken one piece -- and out of context.
