Oh Hai. II
(Click for BIG)
From the Fall 2007 menswear line of John Galliano. For more from this show, go here. I had a terrible time deciding which ensemble I liked best, but the wooly horns finally won out. And the mittens. I'm not sure what might be in the appendages, though. Trophies? Snacks?
I am, however, having a difficult time imagining where a man might wear such haute couture. Anyone have any ideas?
If this keeps up, I'll have to start a new blog category for high fashion knitting, LOLKnits.
OH HAI. I KNIDDED U A SCARF SET. U LIEK IT?
I looked at the slide show and I still can't figure out wtf they are selling. Underwear? Some of the slides have no recognizable piece of clothing that I can see.

I think I was most struck by the six-pack. Can you imagine being handed that outfit, and being told you have to parade down a runway in it?

I wonder if he would be allowed as a viking at a SCA event? Snort!

When this first came up I said "What is it?" out loud. It took a minute to register as human.

Those of us who miss the blog, "You knit what?" appreciate this kind of thing and hope you will display more such, er, interesting items.

I swear to god I thought this was a muppet!!!!
Then I saw the abs and realized the muppets don't flash their abs in costume. Holy headress batman - are the designers smoking crack, or do they just think we are!?!

Those appendages are supposed to be flaccid what? Fiber cond0ms? A truly WTF moment I'm afraid!

Oh, and I wonder if the face-covering balaclava was actually part of the design, or did the model insist on it before braving the catwalk?

About the only think I feel able to say is: nice sixpack!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who took more than a minute decipher those body parts...

Well Halloween is always around the corner and everyone is looking something "unique" to wear. If you answer the door and see this I bet you would still be guessing what the costume is.

It's stuff like this that gives knitting a baaad name! What on earth was the designer thinking??!!

Let's see: those horns might be a good place to hang a coffee cup holder?... Nah, I got nuthin'.

Can't these fashion people find something, anything, more productive to do with their time and vast resources? Post-war Chanel it's not. Haute couture has devolved to detrius. I can't even laugh at it anymore.

I just don't get high fashion.

Wow, that's wild. I kinda think it would be fun to see this guy at a rodeo in Aspen Co. or some place where old west cowboys meet Hollywood types.

Appendages -- well, if that's some sort of *athletic* apparel, perhaps he could keep his balls in them....and where to wear it? Well, let's see - I feel qualified to say that if he appeared at ANY North American Indian affair (and I mean from the Passamaquoddy in the east all the way to the Nez Perce and Crow in the west) -- he'd be laughed out of town. Other than that? I'm with Andrea: Viking Sheep and Wool show.

Yipes! It took me several minutes to decipher the body parts in that contraption.
Where to wear it? The only thing I can think of is a viking sheep and wool festival...
