Serious... you call this fashion?  

ha ha ha ha ha... point noted. True and valid one too!
Well, to me, no matter how famous the designer is, a piece of crap is a piece of crap.

Sort of reminds me of the story of the Emperor and his golden robe.
Just because the tailors who "made" the robe for the king says it is there, the king believed. And the whole kingdom will have to agree. Only when the kid in the street shouted otherwise did the rest of the kingdom agree and laughed at the king's silliness.

I guess I am that kid in the street!

lol =D A good comparison there ^_^

Yeah. Some of these so called fashion in the magazines are really ridiculous looking aren't they?
And the best part is, there are people who like them. And would pay a lot of money for them!
Sheeze!

ha ha ha ha ha... curtains!

I was thinking bedsheets!

Well, I am stating it like I see it.
A bed sheet is a bed sheet. Be it fitted on a bed or draped on a person.

After reading your post, I went back to look at the picture again and I still cannot see what is so fashionable about the piece the model is wearing.
It is neither pleasing in terms of design, nor is it flattering to the woman's beautiful curvy lines.

To me, it looks more like a piece of shoddily sewn... would you even call it a dress?

Well, each to his/her own views.
Thanks for sharing yours.

Ha ha ha ha ha... I may agree with you that some culture has some very different views when it comes to clothes and fashion.
But the picture was taken off the news paper where a fashion show was hosted in a uptown, chic city like New York!
And that is one of the designs that was featured. And there are many more similar ones to the one you saw.

And these fashion shows are attended by the likes of Heidi Klum, Armani, Fashion Magazines... etc.
And if you tell me that that dress can be accepted as fashion in a highly competitive world of designer clothes, then, I must say, gone is the era of good designers!

I have seen that series you mentioned. And I must say, I do not like all of the designs of clothes that was shown on it. But at least, they look like clothes.
This one that I posted, really looks like a half-hearted effort in getting something put together in order to meet the number of items to be displayed.

It is totally uninspiring and unflattering to the person who was made to wear it!
To think it was even allowed to be displayed on a fashion show really puzzles me.

I so totally agree with you!

Re-looking at the picture I posted, I still cannot understand how this piece actually made it to the cat walk!
The folds in the dress is not artistic. The color is hideous.
And if you ask me, I would definitely not want to put it up in my store as a sale item even if you were to give it to me for free!

But it is call fashion!
I just do not know how to appreciate this kinda fashion.

A simple black dress, like you said, is anytime better looking that that piece of dress that the poor model have to parade in.

ha ha ha ha ha... I am sure there are piece of fashion that is weirder than this one I am referring to.

And even if I am into new clothes, I really would be spending any money to get a so-called designer piece that looks like a shoddy-put-together-from-drapery dress!

Like I said, I just cannot understand fashion as seen by all these fashion experts!
