Dude in a skirt. Not just any kind of skirt, but the micro-mini kind.

Whaaaaat?
P.S.: I know emoticons are, like, so 1998, but I find that I'm unable to help myself in this case. (I reiterate: Whaaaaat?)

The look on the model's face seems to be: "I just want to get through this...I'm only doing it for the money...Let this be over with."

WTF??? What is this insanity that anyone would even waste material on something that weird. If it was designed outright for a costume party or fetish night or something, ok, I could see it, but otherwise? That's something you wear on the day you are planning to kill yourself anyhow. Weird!

Oh, come on now.
Slap a Nike or NFL logo on one of those "fashions" and you'll see every mall denizen in America wearing it.

What, you guys didn't like the nerd parade, with all the dudes in the plaid jackets and black frame glasses?!? o_O

This was the best laugh I've had in a while. The first guy in the Tutu is a riot. If I could read his mind, I bet it would be saying, "I can't believe I blew an old man to get this job!"

A few years ago I edited inexpensive TV shows about fashion that included a lot of runway footage. I asked the producer (who'd been a Versace model back in the day) what was going on when you saw runway shows with people in outlandish, unwearable clothing.
She said that those shows aren't displaying any fashions that will ever be for sale. The couture people are (by definition) going to be giving their customers an intensely personalized consumer experience. Meanwhile the ready-to-wear manufacturers are going to be making their money with such mundane clothes that there's reason to put them in a runway show. (Hello Gap!)
But the buyers need a reason to be brought to New York and wined and dined and made to feel good about having their bosses spend all that money on a designer's work. So if the designer can put on a show that's fun and futuristic, or maybe just get a teenaged Ashton Kutcher to walk around in his tighty-whities, then that's what they do (buyers have tendencies, as do designers... It's an industry thang.)
But the point is, this is like any trade show: It's all about having tax-deductible fun. There's really no good reason for me to go to Vegas for the National Association of Broadcasters convention either... But I'm grateful to you, the taxpayer, for all those screwdrivers.

I still prefer "Derelícte" by Mugatu.

To be fair, the guy in a skirt is by far the worst one in there. Although the psycho killer barrel girl #17, and saran wrap girl #55 are pretty bad too. There's a few that are acutally pretty, like #18, #45, #72, and #83.

Heh. Even the model can't hide his mortification.

Wow. Just...wow.
I'm also partial to this one, which looks like a guy wearing Claudine Longet's clothes skiied into a macramé plant hanger...
