    The not so good at New York Fashion Week: Orange fur, acid wash, and how everyone wants us to live in the '80s


    Shine editor Joanna and I were talking this morning about how just kind of "bleh" Fashion Week has been, how you can really feel how toned down everything is because of the recession and how we both wonder if maybe designers should have saved money and just skipped this season. Other fashion editors have been talking about how powerful all of the clothes are, how these are tough designs for tough times. While it's true that there's a certain Dynasty meets Tron vibe happening-we've seen tons of black leather, space age metallic fabrics, hoods, and over-the-top '80s-office outfits-that doesn't mean many of these pieces are attractive or something you'd actually want to wear. And that's kind of sad. Anyway, here's the bad news first. We'll round up the best of Fall '09 at the end of the week.

      To those commenters spouting the "this is art; you just don't understand" line... Okay, we get that it's supposed to be art. But it's still really, really UGLY art.

      it should be against the law to wear shag rug bags, cow costumes and shoulder pads bigger than the runway. That was a disaster.

      I was just about to go to bed when I saw those pictures. Now my head hurts, my eyes are watering and I'm slowly curling up into a fetal position. Please call 911 for me.

      OK! Zero and Maria Cornejo....Did you guys go to Iraq? I know there's a war going on, but don't bring it here!

      Ninja chic! Right on! And admit it, y'all missed the crazy fun of the '80s clothes. But I don't get the bucket on the head. Toddlers and drunks do that.

      OMG!! Does this mean that mullets and big hair are on the come back again? Grandma was right, if you hold on to something long enough it comes back into style!

      This coat looks like they skinned Snuffleuppagus from Sesame Street and dyed the fur blue. The comment made about gettin the 2 blue coats together??? ::::Priceless:::

      I would like to point out that these looks are not from an RTW collection. No one is expected to wear this stuff. These collections are art. Let's go to a modern art museum and act childish by pointing at everything and saying, "Oooh, how WEIRD!"

      Why someone would think I would ever wear acid washed jeans, headgear that belongs on a hunter or shoulder pads must be smoking something really potent. What are they all on this year?
    • Mayra M  •  3 years 3 months ago

    • Pats4ever  •  3 years 3 months ago

    • John  •  3 years 3 months ago
      How many mind altering drugs or bottles of booze did thease "Designer" take?
    • Justin  •  3 years 3 months ago
      Haha, Cookie monster meets pimp, ROTFL! I guess there's a reason this type of clothing died back in the 80s. I wouldn't wear that blue fur pimp outfit in public even if someone offered to pay me millions for the rest of my sane life.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  3 years 3 months ago
      Whatever Happened to Fashion?
    • Mrs. A  •  3 years 3 months ago
      That's just scary! If I ever see anyone wearing that out in public I'm going to go slap them, lol. That's UGLY!
      Who in the hell thought that looked good while making it?!!! I'm not a designer, but I know for a fact I can better looking outfits than that crap.
