Terrible!!! I would not wear those clothes across the street to a dog fight...even if I knew both dogs!

I think that these outfits are an insult to a women's intelligence. Do they think that we will buy just anything in the name of fashion.

Horrible! I wonder what the designers were on when they came up with these ideas?

If you look closely you can see the whole thing is l hreads held together, which means it would catch on everything. It would be like wearing a wedding dress to a grocery store. You can do it, but it probably would not look too good afterwards.

The shoes! How can someone even walk in them?!

Those were scary. I did click on the link for Valentino's fashions at the bottom and was very impressed. I could actually see myself wearing them.

Ah...didn't look that closely, just at the "lines" of the jacket. I have a scarf that's threads joined in the center and it snags like crazy. Thanks for pointing this out for me. I guess I won't wear this anywhere!

Had to chuckle at the wedding dress comment, though. When I got married the first time (too many years ago to count), I didn't drive, had no money for a taxi, so I did what any city girl did, I jumped on the subway wearing my veil! I had just had my hair styled at a shop (didn't have the luxury of having a stylist come to me), and needed to get to my ceremony site. Gown in a garment bag, veil on my head - off I went! I did definitely raise some eyebrows that day. Wedding #2 - nothing as dramatic. Got dressed at home, drove myself to the church, got married, new DH drove home. Much prefer wedding #2!

the poor models don't look happy. i guess the designers have a great sense of humor!!

Maybe it is just me, but those designers need to leave the drugs alone. I could never be a high fashion clothing designer, I have taste, maybe a bit bohemian, but taste! Lol!

Fashion has sure taken a bad turn when Walmart has better fashion sense.......

the Walmart near us is coming to the 21st century..total remodel.....departments moving, new door fronted coolers, and clothes are getting funky...........I hope they give out maps when they are done......I couldn't find snything the last visit.....wandered around searching, but I was not alone, there were several of us!

Gee, I'm glad to know the poor designer won't get his/her feelings hurt when nobody buys these pieces of (bleep).
