First Guy: “When I’m down in the dumps, I buy a new suit.”
Second Guy: “Oh, I always wondered where you get those.”

There. With that old joke out of the way, we can examine this “creation” which was just presented at a Paris fashion show. There are several possible explanations:

  • It’s designed for guys to wear to strip-poker games, so it will take them a long time to have to expose anything, you know, important.
  • It’s designed for those really ritzy swanky restaurants, the ones with signs saying “Multiple Jackets Required.”
  • This model thought Nicolas Sarkozy would lose the French elections, and made a very, very foolish wager.

Correct me if I am wrong, but should a model at least look like he is enjoying his job.

I keep coming back to look at this guy. He looks like he pulled a bunch of clothes out of the Salvation Army bin.

Actually he looks like a very sad Weasley.

Honestly, I think that some creations must be acceptable one day, anyhow.
Would anyone think of a pair of jeans worn out to be all the rage, or any t-shirt with the sewn threads inside out as fashionable? Well, these strange garments are fashion today!!

Runway is where you experiment. As they say in the scientific community, failure often teaches more than success. The subtext is, failure teaches one to laugh at oneself.
