They didn’t say they were trying to look good. They are “just trying to share [their] views with the world”. Turns out those are not good-looking views, that’s all.
Based on the look on the model’s face, she agrees with us. I have seldom seen a more depressed and irritated face, even in the hippest of the hipster cupcake corner.
Wait, which thing is for sale? Because to me it looks like the thing that’s a crop top isn’t printed and the thing that’s printed isn’t a crop top. And the only thing that’s loose is the crotch on the hoodie pants.
Yeah I’m not seeing a printed crop top here either. Maybe they meant to post this photo in their “super ugly crappy fake artistic emo jumpsuit” listing? That looks like a couple of Goodwill specials got into a fight and got stuck that way.
…Maybe my life is a case of FASHION, UR DOIN IT WRONG but I don’t get why these types of outfits (and the other ones you see on runways and in magazines) are considered ‘highly fashionable’ and ‘the new hot thing’ but yet you don’t ever see a person wearing them, even if they’re rich and live in a trendy city. I SO CONFUSE
Think of it this way – designers are artists who work with clothing, and the fashion show is their exhibit. Runway outfits are art, and you don’t wear art. Instead, retail chains and stores watch the show, pick an artist they like, and commission him or her to make stuff they can sell. What actually gets sold in most stores is a diluted version of what walked the runway.
Is that how fashion shows work? That makes sense. I’ve always wondered. Kinda like how award winning concept cars never see the streets, but the designs help define a car makers public offerings? (Guy perspective.)
She’s given the cat a couple of balls of wool and it’s come up with Wearable Art. There is no sane or sober explanation for the rest of this stuff, though. Hang on a moment – maybe the explanation is no sane or sober?
It’s all just too much for me sometimes.
Dammit, girl!! The next time I catch you running through the trailer court’s laundry dryin’ on the lines, you’re gonna git it! And stop rippin’ up the clotheslines, too!
I’m pretty certain this is meant to depict the damage that happens to one’s back and posture when one dresses in a hurry in the dark onboard a ship full of rubbish. The finishing touches are acquired by flailing about wildly after falling overboard into a fishing net full of sticky electric jellyfish.
World view = “oh, shit. it’s 2 am, we’re fucked on ether and Mescaline. There’s a M.C. Hammer video playing on a loop. All we have is some yarn, some hideous drapes and a bottle of mustard. And our final project is due tomorrow…. Do not worry. Lesser designers would say give me another shot of tequila, and pass out. But we are designers with true grit. And we say give us more tequila and onto the sowing machines!!!”
Translation: That’s crap that I would never wear or produce but I don’t understand kids now a days so I am saying something that doesn’t sound like a direct insult so I won’t hurt your feelings after all the hard work you put into it.
Tim Gunn is one of those people of whom I find it very easy to read things in his voice, especially when seeing it juxtaposed against a picture of him. You know, like Morgan Freeman.
My dearly departed and deranged cat, Bertie, would emerge from a laundry-basket binge looking like this, only the shoes would be dangling from his ears instead of on his paws.
August 19, 2012 at 4:31 pm
HOW did I miss this the first time around?
Love me some Tim Gunn. This is beautiful. The post I mean, not the outfit. Yikes.
August 19, 2012 at 4:33 pm
That awkward pose isn’t an attempt to look good. It’s the only way the model could stand wearing a T-shirt as pants.
August 19, 2012 at 11:37 pm
I’m not sure how they’re doing it, but I think there are at least 2 people in that outfit and one is hell of an acrobat.
August 20, 2012 at 1:07 am
They didn’t say they were trying to look good. They are “just trying to share [their] views with the world”. Turns out those are not good-looking views, that’s all.
August 20, 2012 at 7:56 pm
I think this would look fantastic if it was drenched in gasoline and ignited!
August 19, 2012 at 4:35 pm
A Derp that Helen didn’t catch: it was supposed to read “Crap Top”
August 19, 2012 at 4:39 pm
This girl’s a mesh.
August 19, 2012 at 4:47 pm
She looks strung out to me.
August 19, 2012 at 6:52 pm
I’m pretty sure that this was a net loss.
August 19, 2012 at 6:54 pm
I can see that this is making the rounds on the interwebs.
August 19, 2012 at 10:58 pm
I can’t take it. Just sleeve.
August 20, 2012 at 9:25 am
Ease up; this is authentic Native American craft. A-Patchy, I believe.
August 19, 2012 at 4:46 pm
You know what’s awesome about those pants?
Yea, neither do I.
August 19, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Skants!
August 19, 2012 at 4:50 pm
I would throw that back into the water if I caught that. It’s like…”Rainbow Fish in Rehab”.
August 19, 2012 at 11:40 pm
Q: What would you call this woman, wearing this, if she was throw in the ocean?
A: Annette.
August 20, 2012 at 6:09 am
Where I live, if she was thrown into the ocean, some idiot would call Greenpeace.
I’d call the EPA.
August 20, 2012 at 8:02 pm

August 19, 2012 at 4:52 pm
It looks like there are amoebas on her arms
August 20, 2012 at 11:47 am
I think the sleeves are actually a deconstructed shower scrubby floof thing? Oh god
August 25, 2012 at 7:40 pm
It looks like some jerks silly-stringed a mannequin.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE A PARTICLE COLLIDER. The discovery of the Higgs Boson came at a terrible price.
August 19, 2012 at 7:14 pm
I’m guessing the original listing had more than this one photo.
August 19, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Oh, THIS is what inspired Miley Cyrus’s new hack job of a haircut!
August 19, 2012 at 4:56 pm
So…Miley Cyrus shops at Urban Outfitters…the one right next to Shitty Yarn Projects -R- Us.
August 19, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Hot mess. That’s all.

So, Now You Know
August 19, 2012 at 4:57 pm
“I would tell you to ‘make it work’, only Hobo outfits never do!”
August 19, 2012 at 4:58 pm
Like the metallic leopard creepers though….had those in high school, 25 years ago!
August 19, 2012 at 5:07 pm
Yes, the platform creepers are most excellent. Would totally wear. Even though the kids would surely be embarrassed.
August 19, 2012 at 7:26 pm
Wouldn’t that be the whole point???
August 19, 2012 at 9:52 pm
They don’t know that.
August 25, 2012 at 11:48 am
By the way, Mystik, I mentally read everything you add in Daria’s voice. I thought you should know that.
August 19, 2012 at 5:11 pm
I thought she was a plastic mannequin. From the seventies. It’s the POSE.
August 19, 2012 at 5:42 pm
I wear creepers and crazy ‘art’ students have ruined them
August 19, 2012 at 5:45 pm

It’s all just too much for me sometimes.
August 19, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Now I know why my gut-instinct told me to go to F.I.T. instead of Parsons….
September 14, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Suck it, F.I.T.!!! Your Fushion entries are always way too derivative. Plus we rank higher than you.
August 19, 2012 at 6:04 pm
My cats would love this!
August 19, 2012 at 6:12 pm
is she dating Sad Hipster Is sad?
August 19, 2012 at 6:27 pm
At least they’re not saying its Steampunk?
August 19, 2012 at 6:51 pm
Shuuussssshh – don’t give them ideas. One watch part or an owl charm and they’ll claim it is.
August 19, 2012 at 8:42 pm
I’ll keep it on the down low.
August 19, 2012 at 6:53 pm
I’m not sure, is she coming unraveled or is someone tying her up?
August 19, 2012 at 7:12 pm
“In this week’s episode, Mr. Magoo tries an unexpected foray into fashion design.”
August 19, 2012 at 8:14 pm
It looks like a hungry dragon ransacked a JoAnn Fabric’s and then regurgitated this.
August 19, 2012 at 8:26 pm
It reminds me of a sea lion that swam into some detritus and got hopelessly entangled and drowned in old fishing line and plastic garbage.
THIS IS WHY WE RECYCLE, PEOPLE
August 19, 2012 at 8:33 pm
…Maybe we should put it in a zoo. People would totally pay to observe its habits and wonderful plumage
August 19, 2012 at 8:43 pm
I think the crop in question is some really good weed.
August 19, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Bitch stole my look!
This looks like something I would wear to pick up my kids from school to punish them instead of grounding them.
August 19, 2012 at 9:21 pm
Why is she wearing ripped basketball nets on her chest and legs?
I guess I am just not cool.
August 19, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Dammit, girl!! The next time I catch you running through the trailer court’s laundry dryin’ on the lines, you’re gonna git it! And stop rippin’ up the clotheslines, too!
August 19, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Hey, Three Parsons students, listen up! If this mess represents your “view of the world” you can just…wait, gimme that damned thing.
Now go get a real job so you can pay off those college loans.
August 19, 2012 at 11:00 pm
August 20, 2012 at 6:16 am
Ahh, there we go.
[APPLAUSE]
August 20, 2012 at 1:45 pm
…which would make you Postmenapplause?
August 19, 2012 at 11:08 pm
Hey, 3 Parsons Students, Alan Parsons Project would like a word with you about wardrobe for a “music video” on “MTV”.
August 19, 2012 at 11:19 pm
I’m pretty certain this is meant to depict the damage that happens to one’s back and posture when one dresses in a hurry in the dark onboard a ship full of rubbish. The finishing touches are acquired by flailing about wildly after falling overboard into a fishing net full of sticky electric jellyfish.
Or maybe it IS the cats.
August 19, 2012 at 11:41 pm
It’s always the cats.
August 20, 2012 at 12:58 am
I feel as if this outfit needs a snood.
August 20, 2012 at 2:18 am
Some people just can’t let go of their Hammer pants and Susan Powter haircuts.

“And so shall ye frog. Yea, for then there will be string in abundance everywhere, even on thy legs.
August 20, 2012 at 9:27 am
She looks like she just wriggled her way out of the colon of a whale that swallowed an old folk’s home.
August 20, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Metaphors: you win.

As my wise mentor who is 50 years my senior say:
“That’s very interesting.”

August 20, 2012 at 9:31 am
On a brighter note, I have those Doc Martins only in ankle boot top and they rock!

So many. There are just. so. many. drugs in the world.
August 20, 2012 at 11:47 am
I’m calling Photoshop on the Giraffe Neck.
August 20, 2012 at 2:53 pm
On the other had, I feel Cyndi Lauper would still totally rock this.
August 20, 2012 at 4:54 pm
Hmm, it needs some brass goggles…
August 21, 2012 at 12:25 pm
