The ENTIRE fashion industry has "jumped the shark" and they know it!

How in the world do these designers sell these clothes? I don't think I saw one attractive outfit. The models look scary. You hear about models falling on stage all the time. Maybe they are not getting enough nutrition, and collapsing and not falling. I wish that people would wake up and not buy this overpriced, tacky, and unflattering clothes. Just my opinion, but I like a healthy looking girl, not a skeleton with skin.

I agree with you, The designers must be smoking crack. Number 1 is with that much clothing who is going to be able to afford this? Number 2 those shorts with the ton of crap seems more like a winter clothing as you layer on the clothes.

First let me say this is just my opinion and food for thought. Every year these collections become more hideous. I can't fathom why any woman would want to spend money on any of these awful clothes. I know the women who buy these designs are very wealthy but why would anyone want to spend even a penny to look ridiculous. I wouldn't wear most of those clothes to the town dump let alone anywhere else even if I had the money to buy them. To each her own I guess. And this is what models become unhealthy ( looking like a stick ) for to make a ton of money and maybe be sick for the rest of their lives?????? Modeling clothes that most normal women would never wear anyway even if they could afford them.

People in that industry should be ashamed of themselves when they bully, shame and play on women's insecurities about their size and weight according to the industries ridiculous standards. Most women do not look like a stick so what in the hell makes the designers think we want to see sticks modeling clothes. We would like to see healthy women model clothing not the industries distorted perception of healthy. How can women picture how they would even look in clothes when the model wearing them is not even close to representing what most women look like. But I am sure that some women wouldn't want to picture themselves in the collections above anyway.

I'm increasingly thinking that designers just design for each other because as "art" you can make any crazy thing and send it down a runway. Real people don't buy that stuff, even if they're really wealthy (I don't think Kate Middleton is going to walk around in that getup with the beer). As for the models, it's my belief that they are so thin because designers are too lazy or not talented enough to be able to adapt a design from paper to a 3 dimensional person who has a more distinct figure than a model. All models look alike (have you ever noticed they even have the same facial lines?) - slender, straight up and down, very small chests - it's easier to fit clothes on a simple figure like theirs.

It's we the public that needs to understand that these women are not meant to be the paragons of beauty nor natural, they are just meant to present the designers' clothes. If they were beautiful, you'd notice the model not the clothes and that's definitely not what a designer wants.

This is fashion? I guess the rumor is true. Designers do hate women.
