1. These designers talk about
how they love women. Seriously, I think they lie. All you have to do is look at these models and know the truth.

8. The slashed prom dresses are COOL!
I would have LOVED to wear one of those to my prom.

11. I would totally wear the one Ptah is showing....if I were younger and still
had my girlish figure. I liked the red one too. :)

3. Those are some of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.
Between the anorexic models and the outfits, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
But I did laugh at the two Dutch designers and their outfits.
Talk about geek meets nerd. I think they got their ideas of what to wear from Urkel.

4. From the looks of the clothes, one wonders if 2010 is the year of the chicken?

7. Those clothes are hideous, but
I don't think those high-fashion types think of their designs as something real people would ever actually wear. Instead, they seem to view them as a sort of sculpture. I doubt anybody would want to be caught dead wearing those "dresses" in public, no matter how rich they were.

10. That would actually be really clever
if it was a performance art piece.

Slicing away the bloat and coy costuming of Victorian style dress to reveal the actual woman inside. How much of what consumer culture forces on us is really unnecessary and how often do we get to see the real shape beneath it? And how shocking is it when we actually do?

I would never buy or wear this dress, but I might pay to see an art exhibit with it.

12. What was the point of the one with the model wearing the bra over her ass?
Maybe I just don't get high fashion. I'm more of a jeans and t-shirt person myself.

13. Really?
AS a world, we have money for this, but everything else is collapsing?

15. I thought they were all ugly, some horrendously so.
I know Paris fashion shows are often over the top, but this one fell over the top and landed in the yard next door.

16. Mostly hideous, as usual, although I got a kick out of those
illusion pieces. Otherwise, more silliness...
