7. That has to be a Gitmo protest,
Edited on Tue Jul-13-10 06:59 PM by mix
if not, then it's certainly some kind of political statement against imprisonment.

8. I don't think that that is a human
The head seems far too small for the elongated body, even given the platform bob-wire whatevers on the feet. And the arms - where are the hands?? Could it be a robotic model? :shrug:

12. Scarey! Looks like some sort of really weird S&M or other fetish related wear
Dang. Is that honestly supposed to be a real fashion industry statement and not protest/fetish related?

13. I swear some of these designers hate women.
Either that, or they get together beforehand and start a betting pool over who can make the silliest crap, and get people to rave about it.

15. this is the latest thing in interrogation wear, right...?
It says, "Hit me, but not too hard. Tie me up and I'll squirm for you! You the man in charge, baby!"

19. yes, that adds to the weirdness, doesn't it?
Makes a statement about the High-Fashion-World.

What it exactly that statement is, though, might be subject to interpretation! :D

27. "High Fashion" is no different than "high art"
Edited on Thu Jul-15-10 05:30 PM by PeaceNikki
it just uses the body as the canvas. I'll never understand how/why that's difficult for people to understand.

I bet it got people talking which was the likely intention. I doubt we are expected to buy it, but here we are looking and talking about it. That probably makes it more successful than most of the things that walked down the runway.
