Happy Halloween everyone…..that thought is totally unrelated to our designer. I am in no way implying that these are costumey. Perish the thought. It’s beneath us. This is Spring 2013 RTW, dang it! 
Now lets get back to our depressing tea party.
I wore this to my last job interview…it went well. 
Ok, here’s a trench pattern Burda doesn’t have yet-
Since Rhonda will need a little more info to whip us up a pattern, here is the back view, too. Get on that for us, will you?
I fully expect you to guide me thru this next one. I’m not sure….
Good luck getting a good seat on the bus, lady. 
Wait- my cats think that this one deserves a back view too:
I hate parties where you have nowhere to set your drink. Well, at least this model kept her drawers on. Oh, I’m funny, gosh, I really do amuse myself and apologize to others. 
Why so sad? You at least have comfortable shoes….
Oh, you wanted to be in the wolf finale, yeah, thats a bummer.

OMG!
It renders one limited in comment, doesn’t it?
The back view of the trench coat outfit looks like that poor girl had to make a potty break and left her skirt tucked into her underpants. The rest…such a nightmare…will we be seeing more furniture evolving into high fashion? From a distance the models’ legs look like they have never shaved their legs and that poor girl with the tartan slinky wrapped around her has pom poms up her back legs. Are pom poms and Doc Martens going to be big for Spring?
At first I assume the trench was made for 2 and her conjoined model twin had been seperated. But no, now I’m just confused. My archless hooves vote for a Doc Marten spring
Ha! The skirt tucked in the underpants look is the very latest in fashion! Also portable furniture.
Did you notice the fake foot/post coming out of the trench coat to support it’s specialness? Got to love.
I missed that specialness. I think fashion designers sit around and say “I wonder if I can get that depressed model to wear this one?”
a secret game of ‘torture the twigs’!
Wow. And yikes.
1 word for each view, I take it. It really was a RTW collection, I swear!
More of a trick than a treat!
I hope the poor models didn’t get paid in clothes….
I think the red one might be titled “Goth Big Bird,” or maybe it’s his fantasy girlfriend. Hard to tell in those getups. But as someone who’s been to the runway rodeo a time or two, at least that show had to have been entertaining!
You need to see the menswear! It had papier mache and pullies!
You made me laugh with your comment about the job interview. My husband once had a guy come in for an interview sporting a Mohawk. This was a very conservative company. The guy had a degree in finance but had been painting and pouring concrete since his graduation. My husband asked him why he would he like to work for this company and he replied, “I thought I’d give this corporate thing a try.” You know he got the job…not!
Okay, there are aspects of that trench that I like, but allowing my back end to hang out is a little more of a statement than I wish to make. And now I see that we can include our old furniture in our Repurposing designs!!!
Oh, all those talks to children about not judging eachother just ruins them later! Being an adult is all about being judged on appearances! We should train our kids to have ‘closet crazy’ and good facades for business instead. heehee
You sure these weren’t from the mock-ups for Frankenweenie? Scary, very scary.
The Bonham Carter loves a set of bloomers….
Oh how…. sweet. I would have begged my mother to make that second one for me when I was 5.
These are perfect for Halloween.
I need to remember- if the neck doesn’t fit, get a cravat!
Oh…. and I want a pair of plaid shoes.
Well tahts ust a given. They were wonderful!
The Alice costume is totally ME! I usually look about that dour when people tell me to have fun. I bet they said “Smile” to her.
Isn’t smiling on the inside enough?
Ermagerrrrrd!!! Merrrrnsters!!
Hide the children!!! Or hey, wait, we can use them as offerings….
Too funny!
Oh my….!! I don’t know what to say.
crazytown. And I wonder what the models think when they show up to get hair and makeup, it sure isn’t the Glamour cover.
They are thinking, ‘please not the table, please, please not the table!’
THIS is exactly why I NEVER have a drink in my hand when I open Wearable Wednesdays…! What craziness. This is what happens when someone gets hold of too much money and fabric. The legs were totally distracting (among other things) – are those stockings simulating massive leg hair or spider webs crawling up some building? If I were a model, I’d want to swat the designer…who was undoubtedly the wolf at the end of the show because He .Is. That. Cool.
Having said that…the spiral monstrosity would make an excellent cat toy…you could go about your business AND entertain your cats at the same time. Win. Win.
Thanks for another amusing entry!
btw…I’m going to keep this post – I might use it to justify any total fashion mess ups that might happen on my blog (see, I DIDN’T mess up – it’s FASHION!). LOL
The hosiery was really distracting on the male models. I kind of liked the wolf outfit..we’ve had a cold snap here!
I love how ridiculous these all are. That said, I would totally wear those fishnet tights. But I think if you wore the plaid number with the spiral, you couldn’t go near a pet store as cats would attack, thinking you were a toy.
I’d need a way to hoist my hoop up- all that dragging would drive the kitties crazy
speechless with… with… REALLY?!?! And people get paid to dream up such happy stuff in the name of fashion? Or maybe it’s just entertainment and not supposed to be wearable except for special holydays like Hallowe’en. yeesh…
I’m not even sure how one uses the girls room in these. Unless it goes thru the hoop…
Oh my stars! Don’t know what to say….I guess my only comment is the trench coat girl looks like she is having a ‘WTF’ moment. The models remind me of Eddie Sissorhands and characters from The Munsters.
I do wonder how the audience reacts when they see these ‘designs’ coming down the runway. I was thinking how I would react….1st a smirk, then a giggle and then all out side splitting laughter at the obsurdity of it all and would anyone be laughing with me? The designer will be impressed with his own work, some in the audience will be whispering genius, the insecure fashionistas will be applauding and I will be howling with laughter…
If I laugh it just shows how uncouth and rule bound I am. I lack the vision to appreciate the Shower stall begonia frock! I am a barbarian! I don’t deserve to touch the designers wolf tail!
Is that a prosthetic foot under that trench coat?? It reminds me, somehow, of the aunt from My Big Fat Greek Wedding whose twin was in a lump on the back of her neck.
I think it is a foot- attached to a crutch, maybe? So creepy. I think i’d prefer the twin!
Glad you posted these outfits, I needed a laugh.
It’s a public service I provide.
And a very good service it is too.
…and I thought cutting on the bias was a bit of a challenge! Would love to see the pattern instructions for the tartan cantilever hula hoopie tail thing. Marvellous
I think standing in the cutting room must have been alot of fun! Not cutting, just watching!
Lots of good ideas there. I wonder if any of them will be available in plus sizes?
I surely hope so! I could bring them a larger table to accomodate my hips….
I’m late, I’m always late – but RTW! No you’ve got to be joking? These don’t look anywhere near the ready to wear stage though I could see a use for that desk skirt at work – quite handy to keep pens and the like in.
I was hoping for a collection with a little fun to it for today- I was afraid I’d have to go couture, but NO! This fell right into my lap. I think the table dress could be a good sexual harrassment poster. ‘Stop staring at my drawers!’
OMG this is the worst yet!! And what goes with the “pouch” undies on the red tartan – maybe somewhere to keep spare pompoms.
1) Like the red plaid boots…2) am I seeing faces on the knees???
Happy Halloween..am still waiting for our first trick or treater…
Sad faces, im sure!
Speechless, but eagerly waiting for the new conjoined twin trench coat pattern from Burda
Well, you know any Burda I work on ends up looking like this one!
Wow. Hard to pick a favorite. I love the idea of having a second, longer coat on my arm, just in case. And yet, I’m big on metal zippers creeping into my butt crack, so… It’s a toss up.
Butt crack zippers is my fav punk band….
Before casting my eye on these gems, I would never have believed I would see a collection that would make Helena Bonham Carter look conservative by comparison.
I had a look at the menswear, what drugs is this designer on and how on earth did he/she/whatever get funding to produce a collection. The mind boggles.
Perfect for Halloween, frankly these clothes scare me.
I was sad that style.con didnt do their usual wrtten review- I wanted to hear pros tell me it was amazing and wearable!
I needed a good laugh, and got more than one here. Thanks!
Truly, it does make one wonder how… and why…
I dint want to see any of the designers dreams!
WTF!!!
Indeed!
The one with the red thing on her head makes me think of an evil bird thing from Zelda Twilight Princess! They’re called the Shadow Kargarok Rider. http://i.deploy.neoseeker.com/ca/zelda_twilight_princess_conceptart_QCrzl.png
Holy Moses on buttered toast!
I always love your Wednesday posts. They make me howl out loud but today I think I am having a mid life crisis because I am overcome with want this time! Thank you so much for alerting me to this designer. My to do list is going to be seriously interrupted by researching more!
So are you going to the fabric store or plumbing supply first?
MMM…. tough call….not!!!! x
I’m speechless. Never happened before.
Ok, now my work is done, we cant have you speechless!!
That’s a lift to the spirits! I think the penultimate pic, white dress with black ribbons and black ruffles at the hem is wearable. Job interview garb – a true marriage of form and function. Scare the b**t**ds into taking you on at a decent salary.
Poor ladies! and gents (who can tell)?
pic 3 is WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HAIR? lady go shave, shave your beard, shave your legs, heck shave even the clothes!
Pic 4- amputee siamese twin?
pic 7: attack of the tartan anaconda?
Isnt Sean Connery the Tartan Anaconda? Hmm…..
Wearable Wednesday AND Halloween! On the same day! What could be better???!!!! Thanks for the giggle!

Lady Gaga’s favorite designer? What’s up with those crazy tights? They look like their legs are peeling. Not an attractive look. Very strange overall.
Ah yes, welcome to the wonderful world of Japanese street fashion cliques. If this was anywhere else but Japan I would say that the clothes are interesting and creative, but without the runway styling the wearer would look way too awkward and have no excuse to get out of it.
But since it’s “Gothic Lolita” I understand it a bit more. Maybe. I actually really like the double trench. And you wouldn’t need to have it let out if you suddenly gained 400 pounds. But the look after it is just too much. Designers put things on the runway just to show their design skills and creativity, but that’s not arty or even creative, it’s a one-piece swimsuit with a circular shower curtain around it. See also: wearing a table.
But I love the Alice in Wonderland theme, and two of the three men’s looks I saw were really nice (not the metal coat rack the one model was wearing, though). Some of the looks were just taken a bit too far, like the plaid thing with the missing back. Oh, and the curlicue body shield, can’t forget that, whatever it is.
If Lady Gaga wore some of these looks I would appreciate it, but other than that I can’t imagine the Gothic Lolita clique buying enough of this stuff to keep the label in business.
Good points- I hope Alice has a trust fund!
The chick in the red slinky would get a space on the bus. She could have mine…as I dash to the safty of the back of the bus.
So its a strategic tartan Slinky!
