Well, doesn’t she look comfortable and breezy.
I do believe that green truly makes his eyes pop and the long lines really elongates his torso. Marvelous.
This is killing me. Deep breaths. Oh look- she’s in brought in the newspaper for us- how thoughtful.
Sadly, camouflage is meant to make people invisible to others- such a shame to not see this one!
Aw, I love doilies, how truly functional they are-
Must fight the pain….head exploding….must not make reference to Dead or Alive….
Seriously???? That’s it! That is it! How can I remain positive while looking at the uniform for a defunct Jerry Garcia themed hotdog stand????
Sigh….I tried. Got anymore of that koolaid? I’m just going to sit quietly and let you tell me how much you love this collection!

Right. Yes. I was baffled by this fuckin’ horrible mess, so I googled the designer. Seems that this was inspired by homeless people. Models were cast from protest marches and demonstrations. They donated some of the proceeds to a homeless mission.
Gotta love that I suppose. Hideous clothes though. Hideous.

Honestly, they should have donated All of the proceeds to the homeless mission. I mean, this is insulting to homeless people, who may sometimes but not Always be mentally or emotionally challenged – which this collection seems to invariably be reflecting. Surely a genuinely creative person could have used far more reference points like the space blanket and (more) carefully placed holes or make-do attachments like tied-together bits and pinned bits, frays etc. to produce something actually evocative of homelessness yet pride…? Bleh! Bleh!

Sweet Jesus! It seems as thought each outfit was getting worse and worse until the final couple came out and I just lost it on the aluminum foil dress. I know it was probably made from those practical space blankets they wrap around traumatized survivors of wilderness adventures and those rescued from avalanches but not on the runway! All the shoes look like the ones my father wears for diabetics. Camo boy’s image has been burned into my brain…

Well, that first set of shoes seems to still have the price tag attached… an intriguing retro touch (think Grand Ole Oprey) which seemed to promise layered nuance… but sadly was dropped after that one instance so probably was a mistake. The model was likely so traumatized already…

The price tag on the shoes probably goes with the un-seen sticky tape on the soles of the shoes: so they can return the shoes and recoup some of their $$$. Certainly no one will pay much for these clothes…

Certainly no one will pay Anything for these clothes – I’m beginning to see how they could engineer a truly money-raising event with these: The entry ticket to the show pays for a party afterwards and an outfit number. The deal is that you have to wear the outfit you “win” to the party immediately after hot bidding on Not having to wear this or that component of “your” outfit! The results could be lucrative and the party could be rather fun if all everyone had to add to their own outfit was a scruffy Seuss hat or laced leotard (under one’s skirt etc.)… a touch of silly to break the ice as it were…

How incredibly ridiculous. This is just trash, not ‘fashion’. If you’re concerned about the homeless, instead of wasting $$$ putting together this insane mess, why not just donate money/resources/time etc to a local homeless shelter? This is just tacky and wrong. Who does this ‘designer’ think he is to make such a ‘statement’?! No surprise that the models were “cast from protest marches and demonstrations”…who else would think those were ‘cool’ to wear?!
WHERE are the Valentinos and CHANELS of the future??? These trivial little collections are just depressing…and annoying.

I”ll bet that he is a handsome man without that.
Wonder if he sent a picture to his mother.
