5.Just Came Back From the Ocean Floor Look
Oh, darn. She has the Moss-11s, a rare underwater garment that doubles as retro streetwear and a dress. Alright; we are simply inventing here. But could you picture a society in which it was socially acceptable to have growing live plants on your clothing? Second consideration makes us realise neither can we. That is exactly what this person did, though. The outfit seems to be channelling some kind of deep-sea vegetation motif, complete with what resembles real moss or seaweed-inspired textures. Though it’s still strange, we commend her for her environmentally conscious design concept. Like viewing a deep-sea creature nature documentary, the execution is both intriguing and unsettling. This clothing seems as though someone simply fished it out of the ocean, or as if it were the outer side of a suburban house or something else entirely. The designer seems to have carried the idea of sustainable fashion to a whole fresh – and maybe pointless – degree. Unquestionably aquatic, the texture, colour palette, and general composition produce a novel and somewhat unnerving effect. Although we value the artistic endeavour to combine fashion with environment, most people most likely have a reason for not walking about looking like they’re wearing their garden.
6.High-End Fashion Is So Weird Sometimes
We’re tempted to say pretentious fashion events, but we have no idea what the deal is with all those high-end, extremely fancy-schmancy, yet they usually showcase some quite weird, absolutely unwearable pieces of clothes that no normal person would ever consider daily wear. These runway presentations now resemble theatrical events in which artistic expression is subordinated to pragmatic needs. The designers seem to be in an implicit battle to see who can stretch the bounds of what defines clothing the furthest. Still, perhaps that’s exactly the point—to find what type of crazy ideas we might create that would pass for clothes. These events have progressed from simple fashion presentations into full-fledged artistic presentations where the clothing resembles more of moving sculptures than genuine clothing. If so, perhaps we should start perceiving these events more like extravagant performance art or something else rather than as the height of daily fashion. Perhaps deliberately, the discrepancy between runway fashion and street wear is more evident now. Even if the outcomes of these presentations are entirely unsuitable for actual wear, designers have a canvas on which to explore their wildest creative instincts. Fashion is, first and foremost, artistic expression unfettered from common sense and practicality.
