The Saddest Male Models in the World - Page 2

I look at it in the same vein as concept cars. Part of it is pure art, part of it is taking things to extremes in order to flush out new ideas that can be incorporated into more practical fashion. But I find it pretty obvious that no one intends any of those to be sold at Nordstrom.

Actually... I'd wear this one, if I had the body for it.

innerSpaceman · 07-06-2009, 04:09 PM

I'd wear that one, too.

oh, you mean the orange and black thing.

Oh.

JWBear · 07-06-2009, 04:37 PM

You can have him.... Ew.

innerSpaceman · 07-06-2009, 04:51 PM

I'll let you have the black and orange think .... as soon as I get it off of him.

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.

Being a fashion designer must be a great job. You get to be a complete and utter smart-ass, churn out stuff that has no bearing on what you're real job is, and, indeed, mocks your real job, and yet somehow have it redound to your credit and reflect positively on your ability to do your real job.

The other thing to keep in mind is there is usually a larger context of a design collection, in which the "extremes" are sometimes an exaggerated deconstruction of particular design elements. So art indeed, sometimes even making fun of or playing with design elements. There are ready to wear collections to address what might be salable - some might even take a toned down nod from one of these extreme collections.

But aside from that, the captions are hilarious.
