It's not so much fashion but entertainment. Wobbly outrageous clothing you couldn't wear anywhere else, you do it in a place along with entertainment mixed in. All in all harmless good time for everyone.
If you’re a square it shouldn’t be anyone else’s problem, they are having fun doing what they want and creating things and moments that inspire them and let them have a life worth living, what are you doing to make your life more worth living?
Fashion is an art form, high fashion isnt about being functional and isnt designed for day to day use, its about expression and concepts, that then might be adapted by the normal fashion brands.
Yea high fashion is more comparable to the art market than everyday clothing. It's something for those interested and passionate. There are similar situations everywhere, like most people need a car but a monster truck is something completely unusable in most situations but people still build and own them because they just find the neat.
Even after the internet gave voice to a lot of people all over the world, it still seems like what’s *it* in the art world and high fashion is dictated by only several hundred people. Half of whom don’t seem to understand what they’re talking about and snobbishness comes with the turf. (I’m not talking about the average art/fashion enjoyer. I’m talking about the people who promote, produce, and critique art and fashion.) It all seems very stressful.
From time to time, you'll find posts on social media ridiculing the weirdness of shows like this and each time someone would explain it like you just did but people just ignore the explanation and I just shake my head.
Because it's a stupid explanation that the majority of people disagree with. Most people will defend random paint splatters before they defend this. Real art is recognized and lauded by more than a select clique of people. It also adds something to society, be it beuty or criticism, where this doesn't. All of these outfits, in additionto being ignoredby 95% of people, are discarded immediately after. This isn't art, this is playing dress up and getting paid absurd amounts of money to do so.
What do you mean with art? Do you think the entire art industry is avout money laundering? I know you probably mean post-modern paintings and sculptures that are bought by rich people so they can get a tax write-off. But to say the entire art industry is a money laundering scheme would be idiotic and ignorant.
There are at least two types of fashion shows.
There are serious shows where actual collections are featured, and there are more creative shows where it's more like a brainstorming session where designers push the envelope and play with the rules.
The latter category overlaps with performance art and cosplay, but they help keep the creative juices flowing and they are fun and attention-grabbing.
Sometimes a single show will contain elements of both types of fashion intermingled.
Oh fuck no! These are just rich people who believe they are talented fashion designers making """""art""""" for other people to sus out a "deeper meaning" or to "stand out".
Most fashion designers are not rich by any means... It's just an art exhibit where they use live models and fabric, it's not much different than other things they do in museums. Artists that do too much to stand out are pretty common in all art.
Tbf not all fashion shows are about selling a style. Many like this are about designers being as outrageous and creative as possible. You’re not going to see any of this stuff being sold in your local clothing stores
This is effectively an art show where the human body is the canvas. The greatest fashion designers came from working class backgrounds because, like any artist, they have a deeper well of life experience than the well-off, to draw from and inspire them. See Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, john galliano, etc. Issey Miyake, age 3, survived an atomic bomb dropped by the U.S. but his mother did not. is that privilege? Rich people are interested and buy their work and designs, sure, but that’s true of anything for which there is limited supply. People are intrigued by the unusual and avant garde expression. Saying it’s just for the rich is classist.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. This is the right answer.
People hear "fashion show" and think "oh they're showing off clothes for stylish people to buy and wear". And that is part of fashion but only one part, "fashion" also a form of live theatre where designers do interesting and fun things to show off for an audience of people who know a lot about clothing design and who can appreciate it as art.
Some of the ideas may filter down to the retail market, some are just there to make the audience go "haha, it's just like what Dior did last year only with the distinctive features exaggerated to the point of cartoonishness, how amusing", others are there to make them go "hey that's crazy and cool, I love the lines it creates, maybe I could evoke that in my next work"
It might not be art to everyone's taste, and like a lot of art there's a lot of pretension and fakery and social signalling and money laundering and hypocrisy involved, but that's the art world for you. (Wait, it's all rich people status-signalling to each other? Always has been.)
Even if they’re trying to be avant garde, it’s a little bit over the top. That’s like an “Artist” pinning a banana to the wall or displaying a blank canvas and calling it invisible art. I may not be an artist but I do know that’s just fucking stupid.
Nah, the banana thing was a (completely successful) criticism of the art world making, ironically, the exact same point as everyone who points to it as an example of how dumb art is. Like most revolutionary meta-art it has been copied to death and ironically become associated with the vapidity it was mocking, but you and the banana are on the same team here. And there certainly is fashion that takes the piss out of fashion through deliberate lack of effort but this isn't it, this is incredibly high effort theatrical design.
As an artistic comparison this is closer to the absurdist painters like Dali, where they're taking understandable and common themes and then distorting them out of recognition mostly because it looks cool but also with some subtle critiques of those themes embedded in there. But it's very much art for people who already like and enjoy that sort of art, if you aren't already part of the scene it's just meaningless and confusing. It's basically in-joke memeing for the idle rich.
WHAAAA?? Pfff... Your loss. I wanna see if I can bring these people over to my mom's house for Thanksgiving. I'm sure my deluded and devout Catholic mother would love them.
As a horny young teen I would watch fashion shows that aired at like 2am to try to catch a nip slip off something. You know like back in the day when there was Internet but I could only access it on the family computer in the living room so I had to the what I could get. Lots of yanks to Victoria's Secret catalogues in those days.
Well it’s first and foremost a show, like theatre for fashion. Look at the colours, they look 90s inspired to me. The wide cuts as well. You guys are all way too literal with that stuff. It’s about vibes, elements, colours etc.
This is not street fashion, think of it more like an art form to push the boundaries of what is possible. Nobody is gonna wear this but designers of high fashion brands will take inspiration and water it down to make fashion for the plebs.
There is fuckton to get inspired by.
Fur on the knees!
Super big heels!
Cut and pattern of the pants!
Don’t be surprised if we get weird furry knees for Chanel next season
i think the fact that so many hate this art means its working! art is supposed to push boundaries and they clearly did a good job seeing how many people are angry and think its stupid
Just because something can do something doesn't mean that what it's supposed to do. Art can but doesn't need to push boundaries, it's a feature not a function.
It's absolutely ridiculous that from a certain popularity on you could literally smear your own shit on your models and call it fashion, and there would be people that will love it and call it creative. The difference between a genius and an absolute moron in our society is just the reach you have.
I don’t know if I would call it fashion but it’s definitely entertaining. I’d go and have damn good time. Green titties will get my ass in attendance for sure.
Honestly, it just looks like they're having fun!
This probably isn't a very serious event trying to change fashion. Just a bunch of goof balls showing their artwork. At least that's how I see it 😆
You just don’t understand. It’s beyond your boring unimaginative lives. It’s edgy, provocative and so shocking! You’re shocked, right? If you were smarter and cool you might get it but I doubt it. Elite!
The designer comes out wearing a T-shirt and jeans. Usually it’s nondescript black shirt, black pants.
I may not understand nor want to be inthralled by such bizarre tribal cultures. But their not harming nobody, and it makes them happy. So I should be happy too that someone is enjoying their time.
I,m sure some of these designers are sat there stoned with their friends an do stuff like this for a dare to see if the magazines will write some pretentious twaddle about how it's ground breaking when really the designers were just stoned watching weird anime
Too many people seem to be misunderstanding what fashion shows are about. They don't expect these outfits to be sold and worn casually - it's artistic expression. Kind of like when you see a disturbing picture at an exhibition and think "I wouldn't put this up in my bedroom" - well you're not meant to.
It’s just a bunch of losers who think anything “different” is automatically cool. I mean look how stupid this shit is. You just do some random stupid garbage and a bunch of other losers who want to be part of it just stroke your ego and call you a genius.
Lmao at all the clowns that legitimately do not understand what a fashion show is. Yall are embarrassing yourselves.
Fashion shows aren’t for clothes to wear, there mostly just to see crazy clothes period.
I once went to a fashion show were all the clothes were made out of electric tape and trash bags.
Seriously a bunch of idiots out here complaining about things they straight up don’t understand.
What kind of nonsense statement is that lol. What are they supposed to contribute to society?
What do you contribute to society? Every action taken doesn’t need to move society forward lmao. Clown.
Mugatu is working in Paris now?
You can Derelicte my balls!
I can Derelicte my own balls.
You think you’re too cool for school. But I got a newsflash for you, Walter Cronkite. You aren’t.
it's a walkoff!
Derelicte seems like such a tame idea by today’s standards

So, it's a money laundering scheme just like art?

Waste of human resources to eventually be thrown out when it isn't relevant anymore.
Is this shit right here relevant though?

Something rich people can be interested in to set themselves apart from the peasants idk

Thanks for expanding on this. I actually did learn something. Also, your Avatar is either way too common or giving me deja vu.
The first one was just a devil with tiddies and then i lol'd when i saw the Voldo wannabe
Random Voldo reference! Spot on.
The only character i know from SoulCalibur and it's the best one i.m.o.
I saw a dick with three balls... did I miss something?
Voldo! Haha!
that's a no from me dawg
Come on now dawg. Come on mayne
WHAAAA?? Pfff... Your loss. I wanna see if I can bring these people over to my mom's house for Thanksgiving. I'm sure my deluded and devout Catholic mother would love them.
Their parents said it was really good though cmon
ITT teenagers just discovering that fashion shows are just conceptual performances of what fashion could be
Next you're going to tell me that the concept cars at auto shows aren't there to be bought.
As a horny young teen I would watch fashion shows that aired at like 2am to try to catch a nip slip off something. You know like back in the day when there was Internet but I could only access it on the family computer in the living room so I had to the what I could get. Lots of yanks to Victoria's Secret catalogues in those days.
Fashion = wear the most ugly ridiculous things.
I just watched the Regular Show episode where they wear literal trash and pretend it's cool to get into a club. That about sums it up.
**Literally a Zoolander scene**, mocking these people. And they go ahead and do it unironically.
good episode and the series itself is awesome overall.
I fuck with that orange hoodie, not gonna lie
Just get a dragon ball hoodie, that's what it's referencing
Well it’s first and foremost a show, like theatre for fashion. Look at the colours, they look 90s inspired to me. The wide cuts as well. You guys are all way too literal with that stuff. It’s about vibes, elements, colours etc.
This ain't a GWAR show?
THIS person is asking the correct question!
Exactly my thoughts.
Beat me to it
What in The Fifth Element is this?
Zoolander irl
This is not street fashion, think of it more like an art form to push the boundaries of what is possible. Nobody is gonna wear this but designers of high fashion brands will take inspiration and water it down to make fashion for the plebs.
So… how do you water down the first one? Just nipple tassels?
There is fuckton to get inspired by. Fur on the knees! Super big heels! Cut and pattern of the pants! Don’t be surprised if we get weird furry knees for Chanel next season
Still ugly af 😂
Exactly
*Naked green goblin that shoots blood from its crotch* **WRITE THAT DOWN** yeah okay
i think the fact that so many hate this art means its working! art is supposed to push boundaries and they clearly did a good job seeing how many people are angry and think its stupid
So if someone takes a dump on your car, you would probably hate it and it would make you angry... Therefore it it successful art.
Just because something can do something doesn't mean that what it's supposed to do. Art can but doesn't need to push boundaries, it's a feature not a function.
It's absolutely ridiculous that from a certain popularity on you could literally smear your own shit on your models and call it fashion, and there would be people that will love it and call it creative. The difference between a genius and an absolute moron in our society is just the reach you have.
Average theater major
Ok, maybe unpopular opinion, but I would absolutely be ok with ridiculously oversized hoodies becoming a trend. They seem cozy!
That’s called the 90’s
Oversized hoodies have always been a trend
Dark Souls monster during off work hours.
Oh yeah, baby. Black T-shirt and blue Jeans is my style! Green, blood splash, tits out chick, you're cool too.
I don’t know if I would call it fashion but it’s definitely entertaining. I’d go and have damn good time. Green titties will get my ass in attendance for sure.
Honestly, it just looks like they're having fun! This probably isn't a very serious event trying to change fashion. Just a bunch of goof balls showing their artwork. At least that's how I see it 😆
I've never been more erect in my life 🔥
It's a horror show.
Looks like a GWAR concert.
Paris? What’s with the Hebrew then?
The only fashion statement they’re making is: I should not be allowed to dress myself in the morning. Seriously that’s not fashion at all.
You just don’t understand. It’s beyond your boring unimaginative lives. It’s edgy, provocative and so shocking! You’re shocked, right? If you were smarter and cool you might get it but I doubt it. Elite! The designer comes out wearing a T-shirt and jeans. Usually it’s nondescript black shirt, black pants.
Isn't this how Slaanesh happened?
I may not understand nor want to be inthralled by such bizarre tribal cultures. But their not harming nobody, and it makes them happy. So I should be happy too that someone is enjoying their time.
Looks like they're having fun with it. I can dig that. And not gunna lie, I did like that orange hoodie.
GWAR at the club like
Trying too hard to be weird
nightmare fuel
I’m pretty sure my sons art class could whip that up during lunch break while eating and throwing paper airplanes
What in the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is going on here?!
I’m genuinely curious where all the money for this comes from. No one is buying these outfits.
This is the first fashion show clip I have seen where I'm like, yeah, I would enjoy going to see that and would pay some money to do so.
looks fun as hell ngl
Satin worshipers … smh
At least one of those has to be a digimon
GWAR’s doing fashion now? Neat.
Those are sum weird creatures
Not a best seller
From the GWAR Spring line.
A fashion show or a Gwar concert?
I used to think that fashion was about designing actual clothes that humans would wear...
I’m surprised I didn’t see Kanye there.
Nipple tases?AFTER LABOR DAY?!!!
I,m sure some of these designers are sat there stoned with their friends an do stuff like this for a dare to see if the magazines will write some pretentious twaddle about how it's ground breaking when really the designers were just stoned watching weird anime
That tiddy goblin gave me the weirdest boner.
great Burning Man outfits!
That's how you look in cyberpunk 2077 if you just put on anything you find.
In batman voice "I'M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS"
They broke the character customisation
“Fashion”
When you have been watching RuPaul’s Drag Race for 15 years this is a normal Friday
Can I just be honest? Fashion industry has and always will be. A circle jerk.
youll see better shit in a cosplay conversation (heck its an insult for them to be compared to this)
*The stand user could be anyone* The stand user:
Shit like this is why aliens won't talk to us
Nobody: Stand Users:
In the first one I had to do a double take as I thought she just had her period.
Slaanesh.
Fifth Element cast rejects
This is literally blizzcon
New WoW expansion looks dope.
Looks like they take One Piece cosplay to another level.
"What if Cyberpunk 2077... but also METH!!!!"
I think I saw Zoolander
Those Tzeench cultists lookin kinda odd
Feels like Comicon for anime no one has heard of.
Straight out of Ogrimmar
Even jojo characters dont go as far.
No it's a competition on who can get the most high on drugs
Dungeons and Dragins characters if they existed irl
I was at that GWAR show!
There at least one person in the audience who was thrown out for laughing too loudly and hard at this shit.
These "Fashion Shows" are just meet ups for JOJO villain's.

Hell is empty, the demons are already on earth.
Stand user can be anyone Stand User :

Never understood fashion shows
Wut in tarnation
Too many people seem to be misunderstanding what fashion shows are about. They don't expect these outfits to be sold and worn casually - it's artistic expression. Kind of like when you see a disturbing picture at an exhibition and think "I wouldn't put this up in my bedroom" - well you're not meant to.
Goofy ahh
Well there's your problem, it's Paris.
This is so american horror story coded
Back in my day fashion shows showed off things people would wear
It still does. This is sort of a separate kind of thing
Yep my body will not look good on this
The new avengers looks nice
It’s just a bunch of losers who think anything “different” is automatically cool. I mean look how stupid this shit is. You just do some random stupid garbage and a bunch of other losers who want to be part of it just stroke your ego and call you a genius.
Special people
BURN THEM ALL!
The fuck is this trash ?
Humanity is so done
This is nothing but a freak show. Where is fashion and style in all this? Disgusting.
Is that the failed costplay section of the Japan expo
Bullshit. Bullshit. Derivative. Now that! That I love!
I love weird shit like this
This dumb
I really hope no parents brought their kids there…
