Last month in Tokyo. 
I think it’s a hat. 
Ok, this styling is just annoying and distracting. I’m going to ask everyone to put a tiny post-it note over the models faces so we can continue. Ok. Better? Now I see the shapes and I like them. 
Interesting color combinations. It’s ombre time…
Ok, this time just put the post-it note wherever you think it needs it most. I think I’ll use 2. 
This one makes me think of a Cotton Candy Biker gang. They don’t have a lot of street cred. 
Do not adjust your sets…..
I think they should have handed out aspirin at the show. This lighting probably gave everyone a migraine. I sort of hope thats a trap door they are standing on.

(sarcastica font on) at least the models look happy, and the clothes are figure flattering, and the colours don’t burn your retinas. The hairdressers and make-up artists did nice work too, I see the hair catching on at the nursing home I work at. Just slap those suckers on and you are good to go. (sarcastica font off).
What the flack? Doesn’t the designer know that Star Trek Next Gen DS9 and Voyager are all off the air and they don’t need costumes anymore? Same goes for Babylon Five.

OK, I knew this was going to be a fun post when I saw the words “last week in Tokyo”…and it didn’t disappoint! From the ‘I think that’s a hat’ helmet hair to the stupidly weird styling and ‘are those my great-grandmother’s shoes?’ stuff on the models, this is yet another great post from one of my fav bloggers who leaves absolutely NO stone unturned in order to bring us the weirdest, most interesting, out there and occasionally outstanding fashion!
Personally, I think this is another one of those ‘who gave this designer $$$’ situations, but that’s just me. After viewing this collection (and taking a couple aspirin for my stressed out eyes…!), I felt irritated and slightly depressed. I think it was that sad little baggy number with the sensible shoes (for a 90 year old!).
Thanks for another great Wearable Wednesday post! (WHERE does she find these collections???!) 🙂

At first I would cover the models’ heads and just look at the clothes and then it made more sense. But then it stopped making sense when I tried to think of who the target customer is for these looks. I can’t picture any of them* being worn by someone on the streets of Tokyo and not looking kind of fugly. Don’t get me wrong, the shapes and silhouettes are nice, but those fabrics look like they were imported from the bargain bin of a Goodwill in North Dakota or something.
*I love the ombre plaid look!!
