Happy Halloween everyone…..that thought is totally unrelated to our designer. I am in no way implying that these are costumey. Perish the thought. It’s beneath us. This is Spring 2013 RTW, dang it! 
Now lets get back to our depressing tea party.
I wore this to my last job interview…it went well. 
Ok, here’s a trench pattern Burda doesn’t have yet-
Since Rhonda will need a little more info to whip us up a pattern, here is the back view, too. Get on that for us, will you?
I fully expect you to guide me thru this next one. I’m not sure….
Good luck getting a good seat on the bus, lady. 
Wait- my cats think that this one deserves a back view too:
I hate parties where you have nowhere to set your drink. Well, at least this model kept her drawers on. Oh, I’m funny, gosh, I really do amuse myself and apologize to others. 
Why so sad? You at least have comfortable shoes….
Oh, you wanted to be in the wolf finale, yeah, thats a bummer.

The back view of the trench coat outfit looks like that poor girl had to make a potty break and left her skirt tucked into her underpants. The rest…such a nightmare…will we be seeing more furniture evolving into high fashion? From a distance the models’ legs look like they have never shaved their legs and that poor girl with the tartan slinky wrapped around her has pom poms up her back legs. Are pom poms and Doc Martens going to be big for Spring?

At first I assume the trench was made for 2 and her conjoined model twin had been seperated. But no, now I’m just confused. My archless hooves vote for a Doc Marten spring

You made me laugh with your comment about the job interview. My husband once had a guy come in for an interview sporting a Mohawk. This was a very conservative company. The guy had a degree in finance but had been painting and pouring concrete since his graduation. My husband asked him why he would he like to work for this company and he replied, “I thought I’d give this corporate thing a try.” You know he got the job…not!
Okay, there are aspects of that trench that I like, but allowing my back end to hang out is a little more of a statement than I wish to make. And now I see that we can include our old furniture in our Repurposing designs!!!

THIS is exactly why I NEVER have a drink in my hand when I open Wearable Wednesdays…! What craziness. This is what happens when someone gets hold of too much money and fabric. The legs were totally distracting (among other things) – are those stockings simulating massive leg hair or spider webs crawling up some building? If I were a model, I’d want to swat the designer…who was undoubtedly the wolf at the end of the show because He .Is. That. Cool.
Having said that…the spiral monstrosity would make an excellent cat toy…you could go about your business AND entertain your cats at the same time. Win. Win.
Thanks for another amusing entry!

Oh my stars! Don’t know what to say….I guess my only comment is the trench coat girl looks like she is having a ‘WTF’ moment. The models remind me of Eddie Sissorhands and characters from The Munsters.
I do wonder how the audience reacts when they see these ‘designs’ coming down the runway. I was thinking how I would react….1st a smirk, then a giggle and then all out side splitting laughter at the obsurdity of it all and would anyone be laughing with me? The designer will be impressed with his own work, some in the audience will be whispering genius, the insecure fashionistas will be applauding and I will be howling with laughter…

Before casting my eye on these gems, I would never have believed I would see a collection that would make Helena Bonham Carter look conservative by comparison.

Perfect for Halloween, frankly these clothes scare me.

Lady Gaga’s favorite designer? What’s up with those crazy tights? They look like their legs are peeling. Not an attractive look. Very strange overall.
LikeLike
Ah yes, welcome to the wonderful world of Japanese street fashion cliques. If this was anywhere else but Japan I would say that the clothes are interesting and creative, but without the runway styling the wearer would look way too awkward and have no excuse to get out of it.
But since it’s “Gothic Lolita” I understand it a bit more. Maybe. I actually really like the double trench. And you wouldn’t need to have it let out if you suddenly gained 400 pounds. But the look after it is just too much. Designers put things on the runway just to show their design skills and creativity, but that’s not arty or even creative, it’s a one-piece swimsuit with a circular shower curtain around it. See also: wearing a table.
But I love the Alice in Wonderland theme, and two of the three men’s looks I saw were really nice (not the metal coat rack the one model was wearing, though). Some of the looks were just taken a bit too far, like the plaid thing with the missing back. Oh, and the curlicue body shield, can’t forget that, whatever it is.
If Lady Gaga wore some of these looks I would appreciate it, but other than that I can’t imagine the Gothic Lolita clique buying enough of this stuff to keep the label in business.
