Dude! Is there ANYTHING you wouldn’t wear?

Confidential security memo to Fashion Week staff: Please be very alert this week. We believe an ex-employee may try to sabotage our show by dressing male models in incredibly lame outfits. Ties and vests with no shirt, improvised shiny skirts on trouserless guys, silly sunglasses. Who knows how far this madman will go?

We presume most models would refuse to wear such “creations” in the name of human dignity, but it’s just possible a few may fail to question even the most farcical ensembles. We hope our many gruntled staffers won’t let a lone disgruntled renegade spoil the spectacle.

Why, oh why? Why do they wear those things?… They must be paid to do that…

We just can’t take our eyes of the vest top and tie combination.
See you later innovator.

Good question. It’s lame as in really, really lame. An outfit made from the frenchie kind of lame would probably be an improvement.

Did he mean lame or Lame’?
Actually, I’m not sure it matters…
