From the comments, someone here has never taken acid. These would decidedly be considered products of a VERY BAD trip. Like a Belladonna trip.

They are all hideous with the exception of #5, which is cool looking, though not something most people would wear, and #18 which is, let's face it, just a full kilt, and kilts are just plain cool.

I'll give some of them art, but at least one is just a union suit, and one is a sweatshirt with tassles glued to the chest...

Couture is meant to be art in the form of clothing - it's isn't necessarily intended to be worn on the street. Study these pieces the way you would study a painting and you'll be amazed at what you see.

Don't use "bad", it's too vague; even more when speaking about something as relative and abstract as high-couture. Nice effort though.

Pffft.
The nerve of them to even call this art.
Anything abstract is the work of a lazy person who has the nerve to call him/herself a designer or an artist.
Trash like these shouldn't be patronized
And also the silly so-called art community who call themselves critics and don't really know anything about aesthetics should be banished for clapping joyously and praising the first ugly colorful thing they see.

Seriously, this is worse than cooked human fetuses.

I would wear dress number 13#. A lot of people here don't understand that most of these items are not meant to be worn they are to be admired; crazy and thought provoking. It doesn't have to be 'nice' to be appreciated. These designers are not crazy they are creative - and you don't need to 'know' the designer to consider what they are trying to achieve.

Only answer imaginable: Someone punked the models.

I can crap out better outfits than these. They are not art or haute, they are silly rags being pawned off as "fashion."

For a second there, I thought I was looking at a cross between The Predator and Whoopi Goldberg....damn...

I am in love with high fashion and these pieces are amazing. Haute Couture isn't meant to be practical; it's meant to make an impact and be talked about. These are the definition of high art.

Well, i guess we have a whole bunch of super fashion critics here! This designs come from different designers and as crazy as they look they all have something special. Besides, have you seen the TMZ reporters? They are the true fashion tragedies here!! This website should not say anything about fashion, as trashy as it is

And the drugs the designers and models were doing were?????? Whatever they were, please keep them from the sane people, or even addicts not so sane. My eyes hurt from looking at the pics. Thank God my model daughter never had to wear utter rags like these!

Wow. I love how none of the (few) people who say these "clothes" are cool (or whatever phrasing) can actually identify the designer. Must be someone nobody really cares about. Even TMZ didn't say who created these monstrosities (though maybe they're afraid of getting sued?)

this stuff is amazing! r u ppl stupid! this is what the real fashion critics want!omg!
