@Gene
For the sake of clarity, it looks to me that the middle garment is made mostly from elastic bungee cords. I’m not sure what bicycle straps are, so forgive me if my reply is redundant on account of misunderstanding.

@Mike/@Pieter
While I appreciate fashion as an art form, it is perhaps more insightful to acknowledge the whole system that “Fashion as Art” exists within. It’s a billion dollar business—overflowing with geniuses and devilishly tough critics—it’s all part of the circus.

I’m not talking about the designers and their work, but everything and everyone that comes with it.

i just think, its a few weeks where all these artists from around the world show of their hard work and talent, and its just kind of demeaning to call it a circus

@mike
why was it rude of me?
For people who are not part of the so called fashion industry, those fashion weeks are a circus.
You can find almost as much photos of the (famous) visitors of the fashion shows as from the shows themselves.

It seems the creativity is dying. He certainly is the most talented than most designers out there.

Such a shame.

kind of rude of you to say that fashion week is a circus people take too seriously

margiela artisanal is beginning to become stale. how many fringe capes can you make out of outlandish materials before it becomes redundant.
