Humans In Harnesses Are The Hot Accessory
Yahoo Style ^ | October 1, 2015 | Sarah Cristobal

Rick Owens seems to enjoy turning the fashion world on its well-coiffed head. In the past, the designer has enlisted muscular step dancers to stomp down the runway and featured penises (they peeked out from tunics) as the must have accessory for his fall/ winter 2014 mens collection. His latest runway spectacle was called “Cyclops,” but instead of one-eyed creatures clomping down the runway, he sent models out with what can only be classified as human backpacks.

While a trio of gospel singers sang about “Protecting land and how it’s ours to preserve,” models appeared with local gymnasts strapped to them like giant harnessed babies— they hung over the shoulders, upside down, butts and legs sticking out in all different angles. Was this an art project? (The configurations evoked the work of artist Allen Jones or the Chapman brothers.) Or was this some kind of environmental statement? In the press release, Owens spoke of the nurturing ways of women, and the straps as “cradling.”

This has got to be the stupidest fashion crap ever! Why does no one stand up to these "designers" and tell them how ridiculous this garbage is?

“Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).”

This one did: one seasoned editor had no time for comparisons. "Why can’t he just go see a psychiatrist like everyone else and stop torturing us,” she hissed while shuffling out of the venue

The voice of sanity!!!

Curiously, actress Jada Pinkett Smith was one of the few who seemed to understand the show. “It’s so glamorous and so beautiful,” a seemingly emotional Smith told Yahoo Style. “This is my first show of his and it just validates why I love him so much. It was such a poignant idea, that this land is ours and this is what we have to do for each other.” <>/i>

Barking mad, vapid stupidiy also rears its ugly head ... Yes: they are making a better grade of idiot.

The fashion industry is dominated by insane homosexuals who create nothing worthwhile.

Ellen De Generate!

I’ve been referring to her as that for years! My wife says I shouldn’t though. But there’s a few other things my wife says I shouldn’t do....

Ok, I have a few questions: when wearing one of these “fashions” to a New York cocktail party, wouldn’t proper etiquette require that an additional cocktail be provided for the ...ah... strap-on accessory person as well? And if yes, then how would the accessory person drink it, without spilling? Is the accessory allowed to participate in the conversation?
