    Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this but have you guys seen this website:



    There's a lot of really terrible things on there (it's almost like a more avant garde Hot Topics if you will) but I around there every now and then because it's really interesting to see how they are basically knocking off high quality's designers' work. I've seen reiterations of burberry prorsum coat to rick tees and julius leather. It's interesting to see things trickle down

        mrbeuys, interest1, thanks for the links.

        Maybe I'm too low brow to see the original pieces as sacrosanct, but it just seemed like an offbeat, not-to-be-taken-seriously collection. Obviously not meant to be wearable, and for someone not familiar with the original Duchamp pice, would probably evoke a similar if much less visceral "is this art?" reaction along with a healthy dose of WTF.

        We're in the WTF thread, so when you all make me feel a fool at least it's in the right spot already ;)

            I realize they're selling it and do model it on a person, but the only type of person I can see buying this was either A) featured on the previous page of WTF or B) too little sense and a dress form lying around

                Because nothing says 'self-respect' like a dress that doubles as an open-invite
                for every male bladder in the room.







                Personally, I'd rather use the original as a fruit bowl.




                It's from Marcel Duchamp fall/winter 2013

                  Looks like something Jeremy Scott would do.

                        There's actually a paper Cambell's soup dress they gave out for free in the '60's with the purchase of a can of soup that's now in the Boston MFA. Kinda cool.

                              True true. I suppose they have to seize back the glamorous clientele. Maybe there aren't enough goth ninjas to sustain the business.

                                Imagine how much money Dean and Dan are making for being the brand that sells out and keeps stores profitable.
