Fashion can sometimes make us question our own sanity. Honestly, some of the trends that walk the runways at fashion weeks are bound to make us wonder if we are missing something from the narrative. Just last week we saw models walk the runway with 3 frickin breasts! Three!!! It is a strange world we live in, my friends. Very strange indeed.
And while that could be written off as artists playing around with the idea of body modification, some fashion garments strutted down the runway for prestigious luxury brands make absolutely no sense. Aren’t clothes supposed to be worn?
I mean, WTF is this Gucci? Did you forget to put some pants on your model before sending him to walk the runway?

These red wannabe-superman briefs are apparently “shorts” in the Gucci vocabulary. Am I the only one in thinking this is stretching the definition of “shorts” a wee bit too far? No, right?
Twitter obviously had a lot to say about these “red vinyl shorts with a silver zip”:

3. Seriously, who’s going to wear this in real life? I’d really like to meet that person.
A serious question I really can’t figure out. Why do fashion brands come up with such costumes? What’s the point? How is it profitable? Does this help on some other way? https://t.co/G2QhSw9XqX

9. Honestly, is there some guy out there who’d wear this to a boardroom for a sales pitch? Or is it some pop star who’s going to wear this to some concert?
