The clothes are hideous, but what I never understand is why they make the models look like they were extras in Michael Jackson's Thriller :-\\

Noticed the difference between the male and female models...? ::) All men look like freaks. I suppose they don't really want us to wear this stuff. ;)

I think Image #16 really doesn't leave much room for breathing. Why would ANYONE every consider this as "fashion?"

Think outside the box,runway fashion shows are just for...well shows!

Fashion is about trends,no one will wear this designs if you're not Bjork or someone like her,but in a couple months everyone will own a furry jacket or some mild version of what's shown here.You don't have to like it but that's how it works.

^ usually these wild fashions get turned into tamed down knock-offs, but back in the golden days of fashion, they didn't have to wear such wacky stuff and fashion did just fine without the over the top fashion shows.  ::)

It's all a matter of taste isn't it? I think fashion designers have been pushing the envelope since forever,that's how fashion changes and evolves.
One of my favorite designers of all times is Yohji Yamamoto,would i wear any of his outfits? hell no! i could never afford it anyway lol But his designs are pieces of art imo and they're important to keep fashion as more than clothes to wear 8)
