Now we at the ‘Grievances have long puzzled over the feelings of these models together, haven’t we? This Resort 2014 collection features static pics of the designs and the ‘unwilling?’ models…….
I just hate all of these. From their marine footwear to the bathing caps, I am at the fifth level of meh.
Pugsly, is that you? Did they send you to fat camp?
Sigh…. No. Lower case…sigh. I cant give it more than that.
These pants might not even be on frontwards. If she doesnt care, why should we?
Ok, this is passable. But we’ve seen it on skinny legs before. Tho the corrugated pipe material is a new twist. She looks like an exhaust hose.
She must have forgotten to put her ‘Saint Alphonse of the Blurred Models Parochial School’ patch on her uniform. 2 Demerits!
Seriously, if you only look from the knee down, it’s like Roger Sterling about to runamuck with his secretary!
When blankets attack. Seriously, she looks like a very unattractive bell.
OK, so weigh in with me sewcialists-
a. The models check didn’t clear, so he can’t legally use their faces
b. The models couldn’t stop shaking with excitement at the thought of keeping all these wonderful outfits
c. The model witness protection agency has finally gotten funding
d. Please tell me in the comments what the deal is with this show!

I’m with you – I hate them all. But – how many levels of meh are we allowed to go to?
And I am still laughing having checked the Roger Stirling reference by scrolling up a picture!
Keep up the good work 🙂

What looks like a thin female model under all those badly fitting clothes is really a man. He and his married girlfriend were having a little afternoon fun in the bedroom when they heard the husband approaching. He dashed into the closet and tried to find something, anything, to cover his nakedness before he jumped out the back window to safety. He managed to grab his shoes with the socks stuffed inside but the poor creature could only squeeze himself into some of her garments before fleeing.

I think these blurred people have walked straight off a Dr Who episode in a hide behind the sofa sort of way. Plus the patent brogues that were on my wish list have been deleted. I will forever associate them with a creepy boss I had as a Saturday girl in Woolworths 1987 … Thanks for making me laugh on a rainy Wednesday morning!

Haha – so true – or there was a famous episode of BBC drama “Sapphire and Steel” back in the 70s (early 80s?) called the Man without a Face, which was the single most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed. (Granted, I might not find it quite so pee-my-pants worthy these days).
I’d wear the blue stripy top – but it’s hardly cutting edge fashion!

It was a dark and stormy night. Marcus, a student at the online Technical Institute of Garment Design University, took out his stash of plastic tablecloths from Party City and the copy of Drape Drape 24 that he had found behind a chair at Starbucks. Armed with only scissors and a stapler, Marcus created the resort collection of the future, clothing cache for black rain and radiation fallout. Casting aside all temerity, he donned makeup and a shower cap to model the collection himself. (Cleverly blurring his facial features to be unrecognizable to his avatar online professor). The shoes and socks were an oversight he hoped no one would notice…

I wonder if the model didn’t wamt to be associated with those clothes? Or could the designer only afford one model but wanted it to look like more, hence the blurred face? Or maybe s/he had a limited shoe budget so only one pair of socks and shoes?
Who are they designing this stuff for? I can’t think why any real person would wear these things if they look that awful on that poor girl. Or do they have the luxury of being whimsical and design things just to keep themselves amused. It seems like a massive waste of resources.

Not only do I really really hate these clothes, this designer makes me angry. There is only so much money to be invested in designers, and this incredibly poor excuse for a designer gets funding from someone, very likely leaving someone who actually has taste, style and could actually produce clothing that might flatter a female body without funding. Really. WTF. Does anyone actually buy this shit? Wait, that might be an insult to shit.
However kudos to Mrs Mole and Coco for explanations on the possibility of how this pile of excrement was created. I believe Satan was involved somehow.

Where is this resort? Apparently the climate is hot, humid and raining since loose short clothing is needed. But the ground it rough and cover with calf-high grass which can cut up your legs. But, of course, you can’t wear tennis shoes……so this was the fashionable alternative? Woo-hoo! Book me for a trip…..if you hate me.
As for the faces, I dunno- maybe they are willing themselves to melt like the witch in the wizard of oz?

Aww, bless, if it isn’t the children from The Village of the Damned all growed up and completed their fashion design correspondence course en masse. We should give them credit for attempting to be productive members of society – I mean, they even blurred their faces so that their death ray eyes won’t impel us to strangle ourselves with corrugated pipe dresses. Never mind that their collective hive mind couldn’t quite get out of the confines of 50’s school uniform and regulation black shoes, they tried their best. I think they’ll fit in marvellously in the fashion world…where would we be if the decided to become bankers or politicians and the like…?
