Is the purpose of these ridiculous outfits (not just these, but many most "high fashion" shows) to display clothing designers believe human beings will actually want to wear or is it really just art using a human body as their "canvas"?

What do you think? (You said "ridiculous" so I assume you think the latter. You would be correct. Perhaps you're holding out hope on finding one of these outfits at the mall? )

This is art I don't personally understand but it's definitely art. Hilarious art.

Hee hee, no. I'm not looking to wear any of that... clothing. Though I'd love to "try on" some of those models.

For years I have rolled my eyes at this type of event and wondered what the designers were smoking when they thought people would buy and/or wear those monstrosities. Only recently did it dawn on me that it may just be art, rather than an actual attempt at marketing to customers. This thread made me think of my (potential) epiphany, thus, my question.

Thank you all for confirming my suspicion.

I would define the fashion as art using the human body as a blank canvas. I would define the blog making fun of them is comedic art using other art their not so blank canvas, but super funny none the less (but less appreciated by me for the "used" quality).

Putting it that way, it now makes sense to me, and I can appreciate it a bit more. Thanks!
