There are some very strange trends coming out of London Fashion Week. Israeli designer Inbar Spector sent her catwalkers down the runway on Monday wearing jewelry that pretty much covered their entire faces (aka face masks), TODAY.com reports.
Meanwhile, at McQ by Alexander McQueen's London show, models wore bagels on their heads. More precisely, as
bellasugar.com put it, they wore "tightly pulled, bagel-shaped buns atop their heads."
The Associated Press agrees that London Fashion Week was a little kooky, or as they called it, "eclectic." One pair of pants looked like a giant pencil, and one skirt was made of dozens of actual pencils. Should we just call all of this the Lady Gaga effect?
Does anybody actually wear this stuff? We don't wear a mask on our face unless it's Halloween, and we like our bagels on our plate with cream cheese, not our heads. Of the two looks, which do you find to be unspeakably ugly?
As to the bagel hair, again it is just the creative licenses taken by the make up artists and hairdressers while doing any fashion show just to showcase their new ideas and looks for the summer/fall 2012 to be photographed for special fashion issues of all magazines. Fashion shows are never static and/or practical as the designers and their support teams have to keep the creative juices running by doing outrageous things. Can't sell clothes or magazines if things just look the same, right? Their antics are not to be taken seriously by ordinary persons.
Pass the cream cheese.
I'm not opposed to facial jewelry. Although, Spector's example may be a bit extreme. That's fashion... I guess.
