Oh, that's right, a few UK teenagers started a trend called "nu rave" that's going to last maybe until Springtime (if it's not already dead), so uninspired designers looking to stay relevant should all jump on board right now! Right?

Wrong.

Because when you're try and follow the trends of fickle teenagers, you end up with horrible disasters, ala this fuzzy, sci-fi mess on the right.

Of course, the other possibility is that Roberto Cavalli thought this would be a hit when he unveiled it in Milan last week. I guess.

What do you think? Is it awful, or ahead of its time?
