It's very clear

Some clothes were meant for women without a lot of curves.

It is supposed to show ingenuity to use a man's shirt as a skirt. At least that's what I think I read somewhere. But what happened to the need to look good. I see lots and tons of really cute skirts out there. Someone needs to send this girl to the skirt store. And I love the jacket!
 Nope. Needs a white bra. To me this look is jarring.
 The top is so pretty and the skirt is so BIIIIIG.
 I just don't think pretty heels help ratty jeans much.
 Fit?
NO words.
 OK. You buy a coat that is way too big and hang it off your body with straps. Why?
And here we have blanket, tied.
 Just nope.
Sheet, tied.

I am not a fan of some of the trends set out by designers. I realize that some of the trends are actually worn by those with money and not much fat. However, I've always been of the opinion that fashions are to make you more attractive or more interesting or to show your personality. I'm at a loss to know what part of the personality this look shows.

Fashion vs Art

 This is definitely not an easy-wear piece. And I'm not sure it could be cleaned.
 I'm amazed at the workmanship in this piece.
 I have collected some photo images of items that have been sent down runways and there is no real wearability to these designs. I can't imagine sitting, getting through doorways, dining, conversations in sotto voce, and dancing with any of these designs. While they are artistic, they are now wearable in the normal sense of the word.
 Sometimes, just because you can, it doesn't mean you should.
 Sitting? Maybe not.
 This looks to me like a washboard with billowing sheets on top. I can't help but think this skirt would be cute if it were shorter and worn with a fitted short sleeve sweater. In white. Really cute.
 No words.
 This piece is interesting. I'd be able to look at it for a long time. Designers do seem to do interesting designs to throw in with their everyday looks. I suppose this design could be worn to an upscale gathering. Maybe by Daphne Guiness.
Amazing workmanship in this one. The time it took to design and make it must be huge. It is truly a piece of art.
