Every designer has at least one is "What is this monstrous thing?" garment over the course of time.

if they don’t want to help become part of the solution, they should just stick to their craft. The amount of stuff unsold at the end of each season shows that they have enough difficulty doing just that…

It’s a disgusting trend that fashion designers feel it’s their right to “see homeless in the park” and then create a whole line of clothes that makes us all homeless, so we can supposedly “identify with them.” Those of us that have identified with them are helping them. Galliano, why don’t you try to do the same?

The same goes double (or maybe triple) for the Abu Ghraib “collection.” It’s as if Galliano thinks he’s the only one who is aware of the event; he has to educate us all. What an ego this man has! The house of Dior is dead, in my opinion.

If these designers and models are so concerned about the homeless,they would not be mocking them by creating and wearing clothing lines that cost twice the national debt. It’s like they’re saying: “Hey,I’m one of you, but I am loaded and can wear the designer version….and you are not.” There’s nothing chic about mocking the poor; they need helping hand.

Have any of these designers with a so-called passion for the homeless started food banks, soup kitchens, new affordable housing, paid off bills for those struggling, given impoverished teens scholarships? No. They just “call attention” to a problem we all know already exists. It’s like watching CSPANN Senators rehash the fact that there is a mortgage crisis in painstaking detail when people are thousands are losing their homes daily. Who needs them to “call attention” to the obvious?

We don’t need a fashion designer to point out what is obvious; if they don’t want to help become part of the solution, they s

ART is a form of expression. I'm not saying that all of these looks are fabulous, but the designer had a vision for that girl in that show, and people shouldn't ******** if they don't understand it.

I think (and hope) that most these designers to be laughable, and to keep humor in an industry that can get too full of itself. What gets my goad about this teasing, though, is that it doesn't seem to understand whatever craftsmanship (or lack there of) goes into these looks.
A) John Galliano Couture doesn't exist: if it did, he'd have to be sourcing his work to trained Parisian workers for the hand-sewn construction and embellishment of his clothes. While he designs couture for the Christian Dior label, he doesn't do that for himself.
B) That pop culture Project Runway reference comes across almost offensively, since it's just entering its third year of production, but Christian Lacroix has been around for twenty years. These garments are all constructed by professionals with decades of experience, so it will rarely be as helter-skelter as that Project Runway season 2 finale.
I thought that this article was bordering on ignorance, but I can see where it's coming from. I hope people

By a critique staff throwing in a mish-mash of past fashions and an array of sickenning ingredients( sort of like kids making mud soup after watching some kids doing it on tv). As a result, all that fashion does is make ungodly amounts of money, (which is essentially an economic drain on society due to misappropriated funds; whacked out designers and human livestock make more than doctors) make people into stupid looking fashion drones, (fashion=conformity/ style=self expression) and degrade a culture's concept what one can truly consider to be art. If anyone finds this to be offensive then i give my deepest regards and I would be very willing to help you kill yourself if the truth really hurts that much. : )
