Just scalp the models and use the bloody pelts as a lovely shoe ornament. It would probably become the next Heroine-Chic.

I was home on the Sick Day, looking for inspiration from the Manolo, when I saw this. Those poor girls navigating a runway full of creepy, disembodied legs. I am now weakened, and will take to my bed again - which is where the quilt of the patchwork should remain unless one is Daisy Duke at the square dance. Ayyyyy!

I couldn't actually read the whole thing because I couldn't figure out which planet the journalist/critic was living on. Wasn't there a time when designers actually wanted their models and their customers to actually look good, or at least better than they usually would look if not for wearing their fabulous clothes? (Not that they cared if the people felt good or could even breathe while wearing the clothes, but at least they looked good.) But the clothes--for a long time now--are not fabulous. The pictures are disturbing, not inspiring. The trick seems to be to convince the most amount of young people with money to waste to purchase awful clothes and convince themselves that they look good. The strategy seems to be very profitable. (Case in point, LOTS of young women wear the "Hello. This is the part of my body where my ovaries are located", low-rise jeans/high-rise tank-top look--even when they DON'T look good, i.e. Britney with her "Hello. These are the many parts of my body used in procreating the next generation" look.) I think it's time to re-name the "fashion" industry and just call them the costume industry or, better, the clown-clothes industry.
