I dunno. I just like making random statements and seeing where they go!

Maybe eventually, it'll turn out like "Yes Man" and everything will be fiiiine.

Or maybe not.



I study fashion, and honestly, I can't tell you what on earth these aren't meant to be.

For women with four foot long labia, perhaps?

Those are atrocious. Since you're into fashion Amber, can you explain to me why the highest fashion that you see on runways and what not, is some of the ugliest clothing I've ever seen? I don't get it. It's awful looking! And models always look pissed off.

Not to mention some of them will probably die from an eating disorder - not to make light of the situation. It's a very sad state of affairs.


What the shit?

Giant camel-toe pants.

Edit: Looks like you need one of THESE.

Fashion designers are just horribly rich versions of prepubescent males drawing cocks on walls. "Look dude what I've just made her wear, HAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm killing myself. Now, check that mad penis-hat!".

I did actually, yeah. And then your post made it be here twice. And now it's here three times. Oh joy.

I agree with BrunoN on their motivations being solely derived around making the twigs look as stupid and phallic as possible. And for some reason they're all about 4cm wide and then the outfits extend them to about 14 foot wide. Where is the sense??

Not here anyway:

You make it look like I posted that... thing.

They're probably for when you go into instant labour; these prevent the baby from dropping out rapidly and hitting its head on the ground.

Still one of the best de-motivators on the internet.

Isn't it just a painfully ugly occurrence of some dropped crotch pants ? Look on the net, it seems like its trendy. Probably the arch-nemesis of the emo tight pants.

You: are exactly right I think it's just one big snicker fest - make somebody who takes them self waaaay too seriously wear something that looks ridiculous. I'm not sure there hasn't been a penis-hat on a runway. I'd believe it
Except for Amber, if she gets into designing.

Really? Oh dear... looks like the 'boyfriend' pants taken to extremes. It looks like an external uterus sorta too.

Hmm... If it's one thing I've learned so far, is fashion is much more than what you think, but by the same hand, its exactly what you see too. It's kinda complex. It all depends at how you look at it. 90% of the most successful designers, actually have an art basis. There isn't really such a thing as fashion history or anything, because "fashion" wasn't really invented properly until around the 1900s. I think me also going into art before fashion, I can understand it a bit more.

The picture you showed me there, its Haute Couture, which really is the highest of the high designer wear. Obviously, its not meant to be worn for everyday, infact sometimes its never meant to ever be worn, its all about the concept. Something has to start the trend off for the year, (Although, its planned a year before. I already know the fashion trends for 2010. Not good at the moment, I might add.) so it kinda starts off there. The designs on the cat walk, then get toned down into what the masses can wear.

Theres a hell of a lot more I can add to it than that, but I can't imagine that many people are that interested

But the angular grey skirt for example, was toned down into something like this:



Oh, and dont get my started on the whole catwalk modelling industry. Although, partly to blame for todays current 'admirable' figure, is the discovery of the Pyramids!

Oh I should add, this is actually Amber and not Phase.

I forgot to log him out of his account.

Well that's the best explanation I've ever heard - fashion is such a mystery to me obviously, if you were to see my wardrobe xD Explained it well, you have *Yoda voice* Oh, and I was really beginning to wonder how Phase knew all that info! Hopefully you wouldn't see people walking down the street in that kind of stuff, unless it's Victoria Beckham

back on topic: I don't know if this link was posted here before, I saw it somewhere and I don't know if it was here.
I lol'd when I saw it though. I hope it doesn't offend anyone... it shouldn't

BTW, the pink one isn't that bad. The grey one looks like a reverse lampshade and the "accordeon" part is really ugly, makes the model look like a trunk (a nice trunk though), but the pink one, not bad. Except that the pockets look a bit like a stack of napkin, it blends straight lines pretty well into a more traditional cloth.
Reminds me of mecha layered armor too ( http://gearsonline.net/fss/mh/mighty/alpha.html ).
Talking about that Amber, have you ever heard of the manga Five Star Stories ?
Except that it's great, expensive, hard to find, was started in 86 and may never be finished by the author, it also has a lot of character designs many of which have interesting style, blending a lot of stuff together, from Victorian/military clothes, to the 80's, as well as "plastic style" suits, traditional Japanese cloths, etc.
If you want to have a look, go here http://gearsonline.net/fss/characters/char-name.php and here http://gearsonline.net/fss/fatimas/list.php (fatimas, kind of human-mecha interface in the shape of a women most of the time have a suit called "plastic style" (cuz' in the mind of the author I guess its made of plastic/vinyl) with over-the-top headdress).
Some of the drawings look a bit old, as they range from 86 to today.
