Fashion Weeks have little to do with most of us – mostly they are about avant-garde designers creating unwearable things for angry and anorexic looking people. We can afford to laugh a little at this world peopled by the privileged; which seems to have such disconnect with reality as well know it.
This bag – dubbed The Meteor retails for $1,665. It has big holes cut right through it which caught everyone’s eye. Because why have a bag that cannot hold anything?
This pair of shoes also follows the same ‘holey’ theme from Off-White creative director Virgil Abloh. And one again has to ask why.
This coat reminded people of the villain from 101 Dalmatians.
This strange outfit sported to the Fashion Week by Cardi B, songwriter and rapper also caught the eye of celeb-spotters and meme-makers.
Strange headgear, weird outfit, out-there shoes… take your pick.
“What’s not to like,” asked fashion critic Vanessa Friedman. The sheer stupidity of it, would be my answer.
German model Leon Dame made quite a splash not so much with the outfit as with his (yes his, not her) strange walking style.
The tweeple expressed their amazement at this bit of the Margiela show.
For some good, some not-so-good reasons.
Apart from the fact that this caught everyone’s eye and earned the designer a great deal of visibility, people feel that this fulfils one of the purposes of fashion. One could say that it is the job of fashion not only to clothe but also to shock and make one think.
And then designers Viktor and Rolf turned it all on its head and made couture out of memes.
Why not.
