You'd have bitchface too if you had to parade around in this idiotic get-up.

Do they not teach fashion students nowadays that the first requirement of clothing is that it’s meant to be worn? And by actual human beings, not immobile dummies. I ask because, after seeing Gareth Pugh's Fall 2008 collection, I'm not sure.

Allegedly a “darling of the fashion elite”, prior to Spring 2007 he hadn't sold a single dress, claiming his creations were "catwalk experiments", and had to be forced out of his squat by court order. I'm all for starving artists and holding out against selling out, but it just seems stupid when your chosen art form is something as utilitarian as clothing. It’s like claiming you’re a toilet paper designer, then making toilet paper out of steel wool.

Also, the drab colors in that line make me want to double up on my Zoloft.
