The WORST men’s fashions: crapfest on the catwalk!

December 30, 2009

As a former male model myself, I have to say that… What? Oh, sorry, I’ve just been told that having my picture in my high school yearbook doesn’t technically make me one of those. How embarrassing.

Anyway, I was going to say that lots of readers ask me why real guys would dress in some of these outfits you see here from major international fashion shows.

Generally, the way it works is like this. On the morning of the fashion show, their wives and children are taken from them and moved to a secret location, where they are forced to eat Brussels sprouts and listen to Barry Manilow if the models don’t wear these designer “creations.”

If the models play ball, the families are returned safely after the show, the stench of Brussels sprouts still clinging to their clothes.

Here, then, is my selection of the WORST men’s fashions from 2009.

ITALY-FASHION/10. Dressing the swine for the flu?

9. It’s ME, Grammy, all dressed up!

8. All Nazi spies, please stand in this line!

7. Look, it’s haute cooture!

6. Give me your lunch money, sir!

5. Some haute for your goat?

4. Ballad of the bun-flinger gunslinger

3. Dude! What do they pay you to wear that?

2. You call for some professional whippers?

1. The worst outfit in the history of earth?

Some of these “fashions” are supposed to be for the 2009 Winter collections. So when am I going to see men wearing these things? Never? What a surprise!

If brussels sprouts and Manilow forced upon the familys of these hapless models is (are?) the reason they don such hideous attire, what’s the excuse for the ladies? Did I miss that in a previous blog on womens fashion shows?

I can’t really fault the goat dude… I have to have my muscles painted on too.

I’d quite like to see one or two of those outfits being worn. In the privacy of my own home, obviously. Not in public. *Shudder*

Ummm… I’ve always wondered… How do these people make money? Do you know, BG? It’s definitely not selling clothes… ;)
