1. Snort!

[Skittles]

2. they look ridiculous

sorry

[3catwoman3]

6. IMO, most of the garb you see during Fashion Week...

…looks stupid and is usually not at all flattering.

[Mr.Bill]

25. I see them being like

the concept cars built by auto manufacturers. They are outlandish and will never be mass produced, but are meant to inspire trends and showcase design talent. Possibly a toned-down version will be built if the public seems to like it.

[Celerity]

87. or not, and these are just 2 designers, Moschino and Y/Project

[Klaralven]

95. The '60s want their pastels back

[TheProle]

102. Happy lookin' bunch...

[Hortensis]

98. Like the exercises in fun bad taste and vulgarity at the Met Gala.

In contrast to most, Ocasio-Cortez looked good -- and comparatively elegant -- in her princessy statement dress.

[Celerity]

103. Not at all surprised your taste varies from mine. nt

[Hortensis]

104. Lol, me neither. But I didn't mean it was my favorite dress, only

that it was conventionally pretty and she looked pretty in it. As for evening's theme of vulgarity and deliberate bad taste, take a look at the wealthy patronesses. Their outfits' main statements were that they don't have to prove anything, certainly not who they are. Fashion dazzle was for those who do.

[Celerity]

105. I was speaking more about the regular designer shows. I never really pay much

attention to galas and award shows. I am not a big 'celeb' follower at all. I also detest all royals, including ours both in the UK and here in Sweden (although Sweden's are harmless enough, I just am an arch anti-royalist).

As far as the Met Gala and AOC goes, I would hope she doesn't make it an annual thing. It served a one off purpose, I suppose, but to start going every year would be bad form for me.

Time will tell.

[Hortensis]

106. Well, not the first time our opinions line up and in more than one way. :) nt

[2naSalit]

19. ...

I agree. I burst out laughing when I looked at the picture.

Yikes. Guess I'm not missing anything.

[Owl]

20. They do indeed

[Raine]

53. Totally agree ... yuck

I don't care who they're related to just double yuck! 🤢 🤢

[hamsterjill]

66. Agree!!!

Her outfit at the Inauguration had style.

This looks like a drastic attempt to simply get noticed. And it’s a total failure.

[obamanut2012]

94. They are wearing designer Thom Brown's outfits

They are going to Thom Browne's show.

They both look great. It is NY Fashion Week, people are literally supposed to be noticed. That is the point. It's like going to a work conference and networking.

[hamsterjill]

97. They look ridiculous!

I am familiar with New York fashion week. Carrie Bradshaw, you know!

Sorry, my opinion. I refuse to give someone a pass just because of who they are. Whether that be those in the photograph or the designer. Yuck!

[jaysunb]

3. Not helpful. Nt

[MagickMuffin]

4. I make animal purses

I have a scotty dog that rides in my bicycle basket and I made a rabbit purse for my great niece and this was years ago.

[abqtommy]

18. I love that puppy purse. And I don't have any other criticism for what they're

wearing.

[3catwoman3]

5. I love a Scottish guy in a kilt.

This - nope.

[regnaD kciN]

39. That tartan seems to indicate...

…that he is a member of Clan GrayFlannel, the most boring clan in all of Caledonia.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. Lord, these young'uns. If he had decent legs it'd be different. Looks ridic.

[Klaralven]

10. I think kilts are generally worn with low shoes and high socks, not the other way round...

[Iggo]

12. Or a sporran.

Oh my!

[3catwoman3]

27. It seems short black boots with a bare leg look no better...

…on a guy than they do on a girl/woman, IMO.

[DenaliDemocrat]

60. He obviously skips leg day!

Eom

[ornotna]

8. Well that's different

Is that dress half rag rug?

[Dream Girl]

9. Ooooh boy! Is that a rifle coming out of his skirt?

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. No, he's just happy to see everyone.

A small quibble, though: I thought to be really with-it, the top button of the jacket should be in the bottom buttonhole. But I'll forgive him that, since at least his skirt isn't yellow with "FAFO" embroidered on it.

[Demovictory9]

51. red white and blue ribbon to match the one on the stuffed dog

[calguy]

11. The right wing could have a hay day with something like this.

[Steelrolled]

107. DU is having quite a time itself!

[Iggo]

13. They do look weird. But her grin wins the day!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. They're rocking the look, tbh

[dutch777]

15. We all have that picture that we thought was SO COOL then but 20 or so years on we kind of regret..

...they get their shot at same.

[ismnotwasm]

16. They look super cute

Are we grumpily criticizing the young’uns choice of attire today?

[Polybius]

35. You're not?

Just look at him. He didn't even shave his legs.

[Lucinda]

56. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[MineralMan]

65. They do. Fashion can be fun.

I find it interesting that they are being criticized here. No doubt those doing those criticisms are fashion leaders themselves, dontcha think?

[ripcord]

73. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion

Mine is they look like the wizards in Harry Potter trying to dress like muggles.

[MineralMan]

82. That sounds like fun, too...

[ismnotwasm]

81. No doubt

😌

[DET]

21. Well, That's Unfortunate

He looks adorable. Unfortunately, however, she looks ridiculous in whatever the heck that is that she’s wearing. Ella is a cute girl and she has a great smile, but she needs serious help defining her look.

[LisaL]

33. I don't think he has the legs to pull off that skirt.

NT

[librechik]

69. my sentiments exactly.

And who needs a fly with a skirt? Looks awkward/

[Polybius]

36. And he looks fine?

He's wearing a skirt.

[MineralMan]

67. So? Scots wear kilts.

Weird comment to make, it seems to me. Why would anyone care what some guy is wearing on the way to a fashion show?

Nunnayerbidness, it seems to me.

[obamanut2012]

93. Many men wear skirts, what is the issue?

You wrote it as a "gotcha." Why is a man wearing a skirt/kilt/sarong something to snicker and GOTCHA about?

[Ziggysmom]

22. They look respectable. Not like kartrashians with their tatas and hoo haas hanging out.

[TomSlick]

23. Come on, lighten-up.

They're young folks having fun and hurting no one.

[MineralMan]

68. Exactly!

[zbird]

24. They are outside designer Thom Browne's show.

They are wearing his designs. Menswear designer, fashion week.

[3Hotdogs]

28. I hope Thom doesn't quit his day job.

[LisaL]

32. That is his day job.

[Celerity]

52. He's one of the bigger high end designers on the planet, I 💟 a lot of his output, for men & women.

He sold controlling interest to Ermenegildo Zegna Group (Italy) in 2018, which acquired 85 percent of the business at half a billion USD valuation. He is the sole other shareholder. They have had gross turnover of around $200m per annum the last two years (2020 was flat due to COVID).

[obamanut2012]

92. I would kill for that cardigan

Love it.

[Celerity]

96. I looked around for US sites, Mr Porter has one left, only Medium, Browne's items sell fast

https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens/product/thom-browne/clothing/cardigans/striped-wool-cardigan/4394988608685105

Browns (not Browne, it's a London store in Mayfair I have spent FAR too much dosh at, LOL) has some similar ones, and they do ship, I am sure, to the States

https://www.brownsfashion.com/shopping/man/sweatshirts-knitwear-cardigans?brands=39691&pageIndex=1&pageSize=120

[obamanut2012]

91. Thom Browne doesn't need to worry about his day job

Which is as a well-known and well-respected fashion designer.

[MyMission]

26. They seem well suited for one another

Not my style, but I've worn some strange outfits in my day.
They do look cute together.

[cadoman]

29. same black/white/red ribbon as Benny Drama wore, what brand is that?

[cadoman]

31. Thom Brown, thank you zbird

https://www.thombrowne.com/ro/

[3catwoman3]

45. I haven't watched the whole 25 minutes yet, but so far...

…at 5 minutes in, it looks like theme and variations on fugly, IMO.

[Celerity]

50. not to be pedantic, but it is Browne, and I love his clothing, both men and women's

[DenaliDemocrat]

74. Different tastes

Because I think that crap is fugly. Pants and sleeves too short. Weird cuts, hangs okay if you are pencil thin man or woman.

I’d take a pronto uomo suit off a discount rack any day of the week.

[Celerity]

83. Oh, I have little to no doubt that the chasm between my sense of overall

aesthetics and most on this board is vast indeed. Not just in terms of fashion either. It is fine, as there is little commonality in terms of our geographical and socio-cultural upbringing. To each their own.

I do agree that much of Browne's output works mostly for people with an ectomorphic body type, as it is very structural in its lines and form. I love angularity and atypical cuts, and a some non-binary projection in what I wear.

Btw, I have no clue as to what 'pronto uomo' is.

Cheers

[DenaliDemocrat]

88. Pronto Uomo is the Men's Warehouse main brand

A decent 100% Italian made wool suit. A step above JC Penny but a step below Hugo Boss.

[Celerity]

89. Never heard of Men's Warehouse either. Googled it (Wearhouse btw) and it's geo-blocked

decent US article

The 10 Best Suits for Men Under $1,000

From sub-$400 favorites to $1,000 tailor-made gems.

https://www.gearpatrol.com/style/a440375/best-suits-for-men-under-1000/

[Sgent]

30. I could see her outfit

with some modification being popular amongst Orthodox Jewish women, many of who shop in NYC and can afford designer clothes. That said, the color scheme and holocaust stripes are terrible.

[3Hotdogs]

34. Imagine Grant Wood and her hair style.

[babylonsister]

37. They're letting their freak flag fly. Good for them! nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. They're a cute couple

Not a fan of the clothes but who cares? As long as I don't have to wear them.

[senseandsensibility]

40. Think of it like "modern art".

It's not meant to appeal to everyone or look "good" or "glamorous". Do I like the way it looks? Not really. Do I find it interesting? Yes.

[sop]

41. From the jacket button up he looks like a banker, but the pocket square needs some work.

From the waist down...

[womanofthehills]

42. Ella also studied fashion design at Parsons School of Design

So - of course - she is going to push the fashion button - she is also a fashion designer

I went to Parsons in the 60’s for graphic design. Great school - you are taught by top people in the industry.

[FM123]

43. I love it!

As a boomer, it's not quite my style - but hey, they are young zoomers and part of being young is being able to wear far out stuff like that! Go for it you two!

[Silent3]

44. Obviously the secret service has no jurisdiction over fashion

Or else they could have prevented this unfortunate attack.

[meadowlander]

46. Hammer pants are back! I knew if I just hung in there for long enough...

This is exactly how I dressed in 1991.

[tavernier]

76. And Freddie shoes.

Nothing wrong with that.

They look adorable

[Solly Mack]

47. I think they look wonderful. Fun look. Love the shoes on both of them.

[betsuni]

48. She won't model for long (not tall enough, doesn't project enough) but will have her own

clothing label, what she really wants to do. They make a good couple. Fashion people.

[madamesilverspurs]

49. Looks like she's having fun.

And good for her! Chances are that she'd also have been completely in with the Haight-Ashbury fashion trend back in the 1960s. I'm not up on the current vocabulary, but here's wishing her the 2021 versions of "Groovy!" and "Right on!"


.

[secondwind]

54. Guess I'm too old to find this couple attractive.

I don’t care for his “look”, his face/hair.. the whole shebang. She looks like she’s wearing heavy theater curtains.

Give the 50’s back again, the glamour, etc. Sorry, folks.

[Baltimike]

55. I LOVE her shoes and her smile says it all. nt

[luv2fly]

57. What a huge bright smile

They look happy and don't care what others think of them, good on them!

And I bet some of the fashion mavens making negative comments here have their own fashion issues from time to time.

[Vinca]

58. Gee . . . hubby and I must order up those outfits.

[LisaL]

62. Hurry.

There must be tons of people wanting to try those on.

[Tanuki]

59. Is the guy in the black golf shirt and shades over Ella's shoulder

Secret Service? I'm glad they didn't have to wear a similar get-up to blend in!

[LisaL]

61. I dunno but he has that "secret service" look.

If he is secret service, lucky for him they didn't make him to wear a skirt.

[GoCubsGo]

63. To each their own.

Not my style, but still better than a lot of what the crazy Trump Cult wears. Kids that age are always wearing weird shit. Whatevs.

[MineralMan]

64. Looks like they're having fun.

It's a pity some are criticizing them for their fashion choices.

Still, probably those doing the criticizing are fashion plates themselves...

[Aristus]

70. My biggest problem is his too-tight suit jacket.

No matter how slender the wearer is, a tailored garment should never look tight, and certainly not too-tight.

[Sympthsical]

72. That's what bothers me most

I mean, both the looks are whatever. They've been done years ago. No ground is being broken or anything.

But how it's cinched around his midsection bothers me. I'm with you. Had it been tailored, it would've been fine. Even just taking it out two inches would've improved him immensely.

[ratchiweenie]

71. I've seen several "fashion spreads" that included her and they were totally ridiculous.

I thought her outfit at the inauguration was atrocious and have yet to see her in anything that was even slightly attractive. I guess I am showing my age but I think she has absolutely horrible taste. It appears he does as well.

When they appeared at the inauguration I actually said to my husband "who is that women that they keep showing over and over again who is wearing that absolutely hideous outfit" and only later realized who it was.

Oh well, I'm just old.

[Raine]

79. I guess I'm old too because I totally agree

EVERY outfit I've seen her in is hideous, seems it's not about looks or talent but who you're related to.

[ratchiweenie]

100. Yup. Atrocious.

[Celerity]

101. her Miu Miu coat at the inauguration was so on point IMHO, loved it, I would wear it in heartbeat

It doesn't shock me at all the large chasm in style and taste between myself and many on the board, given the multitude of differences we have. I would like to see more examples of what people actually do approve of or like when they go full blast on certain things.

[DashOneBravo]

75. I'm glad there are no pictures of me

In the early 80’s.

[Duncanpup]

85. I'm glad also

[LanternWaste]

77. I wore a Members Only jacket and acid-washed jeans in the eighties...

so I'm certainly not positioned to judge their clothing as anything other than, well... clothing.


Shoulda seen my Sr. prom tux-- powder blue, ruffled collar reinforced with feathered hair and a gallon of Polo cologne. Even today, I wince at the color-faded polaroid.





But, as so many critics have never worn anything that would be or could be mocked by the present or by the future, their distempers will be taken for all they are in fact, worth (e.g., "I was so annoyed by the way she dressed, I moved to the other side of the airplane." )

[DashOneBravo]

80. I forgot about the feathered hair.

Parted down the middle and Halston.

Black safari jacket, khakis and OD green t-shirt.

[leftyladyfrommo]

78. Only the young can pull that off.

I wore some really weird stuff in the early 70's.

Not that weird.

[Raine]

84. They should trade outfits, they'd look better

if they were each wearing the other's. 🙄

[smirkymonkey]

86. I'm not really getting it.

[obamanut2012]

90. People in this thread obviously don't get NY Fashion Week

Thanks for the reading some of the replies!

I wonder if the same folks are going to post in threads railing against concept cars?

[Wingus Dingus]

99. I get the extremely weird clothing, it's always over the top for Fashion Week or

new collections for the season or whatever. It's the HAIR. Girlfriend, plastered-down hair and Harry Potter look ain't workin for ya. Boyfriend, greasy shaggy mullet is a don't.
