Gumby fashion design: feet of clay?

Tags: Oddly Enough, , , ,

Dear Blog Guy, I am a Gumby, and proud of it. Why does the fashion world just ignore us? Gumby women like to look good, too, and we will NOT be ignored any longer!

I hear you. In their defense, many big fashion names say it’s tough to design nice clothes for models who tend to melt under hot runway lights.  Our own photographers point out that clay animation is a pretty tedious way to shoot the fast-paced world of haute couture. 

Having said that, things may be looking up for you. This creation from a fashion show in Russia shows that designers have you in mind, but you may just need to be a bit flexible.  Well, actually, I guess you probably are

Oops! Now, I’ve done it. I’d almost bet we see a snow mask or gortex face cover incorporated into a fleece pullover before the end of the winter. Mark my words.

The outfit should cost in the neighborhood of $312.00, but the additional seventy-nine feet of continuous custom zipper upped that price quite significantly.
