4.The Good Old Gift Wrap Look

Until the day your family gets together, you totally forgot about this kind of dress—which doubles as a last-minute gift wrap for your last-minute Christmas present. The shiny shine and crinkled texture really like holiday wrapping paper or maybe more precisely the aftermath of a crafting store explosion. Either that, or it’s some strange microwave popcorn, tinfoil, outer space outfit, we’re not sure how one is expected to make heads or tails of. Looking more like an industrial accident than a design statement, the material seems to challenge accepted fabric qualities. Actually, what is that and what the devil is it derived from? The outfit’s structural sound begs issues regarding fundamental physics and human motion. And on a quite other but yet connected note: Why would someone create that? Like this clearly wasn’t supposed to be worn, why bother creating the dress? The designer seems to have mistook “avant-garde” for “absolutely impractical,” producing something more suited for an art installation than for anyone’s wardrobe. Though occasionally people engage in strange behaviour, this pushes experimental fashion to a whole new level of dubious decisions.
