20 Fall 2017 Runway Looks You Probably Won't Be Wearing In Real Life
It's called FASHUN, look it up.
If Zoolander and Absolutely Fabulous taught us anything, it's that you can love fashion and still be able to laugh at the sometimes-ridiculousness of it—especially when it comes to the runway. Though some designers like Comme des Garçons's Rei Kawakubo create fashion for the art of it (and not just to be worn to the grocery store), let's take a moment to imagine these avant-garde looks in real life. From feathered handbags as hats to wearing actual trash, these are the ready-to-wear looks from New York, London, Milan and Paris that aren't exactly ready to wear in your everyday life.
Pucci
Listen, I'm not happy with Trump's presidency either, but this seems like an impractical way of dealing with things.
Adam Selman
Major props if you can find the right occasion to hold a large bouquet of roses against your chest instead of wearing an actual shirt—also, please invite me to said occasion.
Rick Owens
"Every day is a fashion show and the psych ward is your runway."
Moschino
The only situation where this would be appropriate to wear would be at your ex's wedding.

Ideal for blending in with the crowd.
Gucci
For when breathing is not a priority.

If you don't need to sit, use your arms, walk through a crowd or move it all, then this is the perfect look for you.

Lobster or fallopian tubes? Fashion is all about a little mystery.

Definitely not a commuter-friendly look.

A subtle look for reminding people that you're always judging them.

How does wearing a coat work with this?

A fitting look for when you're displeased about having to go to the grocery store.
Molly Goddard
Hey, if you can find somewhere to wear this, be my guest.
Philipp Plein
It only counts if you see the whole nipple.

For when you have to ice skate your way to work—and accidentally skate through a paper shredder in the process.

I'm not sure what occasion this is meant for and I'm not sure I want to know either.
