I hope the designer was just having fun and didn't think anybody was actually going to buy those "creations".

Avant garde = not intended for street wear. It's fashion as art.

Well, I was being facetious - I think the collection is horrible and I think modeling in general is an industry rife with issues, abuse, and, frankly, ridiculousness but to each his or her own.

Not that I needed any proof, but this just goes to show that one man's treasure is CERTAINLY another man's trash.

Also, money can't buy good taste.

Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Also, "art" is definitely subjective.

I have several beautiful books on fashion through the ages, haute couture, etc, and most enduring fashions have elements of both surprise AND beauty, not to mention excellent craftsmanship, which are very evident and timeless even when they are cutting edge. I doubt seriously that any of these monstrosities will be gracing display cases in museums 50 or 100 or 500 years from now. Gosh, I hope not. I'd hate for anyone in the future to think people actually dressed this way in the 2010s!

Do you believe this is how people dressed 49 years ago?

No? Okay, then you probably don't have anything to worry about.

Of course art is subjective. That is the only absolute that applies to art. Some people think Thomas Kinkade is amazingly gifted and creates beautiful art. I think it's drivel. Is it my place to declare his paintings are not art? Nope.

Well, how many randomly chosen collections WOULD be? One-tenth of 1%?....one_thousandth of 1%? The odds are against any collection being around in 50 years....OP just found something weird to post with no fashion sense used in its selection. Only intended for entertainment purposes.

Looks like they live in District 1 in The Hunger Games. I think that's pretty cool actually.

With all the layers and shields, it looks like clothing designed to keep the Cooties at bay.
