Whether it’s stunning statement makeup or exaggerated shapes and silhouettes, Fashion Week never fails to thrill. But each time, there are a few collections that truly take us by surprise. Here are 3 of our favorite strangely beautiful looks from recents seasons.
Anne Demeulemeester Fall 2012
The shades of blue and black were luxuriously saturated, but the models’ hair was even more captivating. Stylist Eugene Souleiman intermixed feathers and spikes for a punk meets Navajo warrior look. The effect meshed perfectly with Demeulemeester’s Fall themes: construction, shape, and architecture.
Junya Watanabe Spring 2011
Junya Watanable offset feminine seaside styles with neon wigs and face-obscuring masks in his Spring 2011 collection. The masks, which the models held in place with their teeth, were meant to resemble dolls that have not yet had their faces painted on.
Comme des Garcons Spring 2011
Rei Kawakubo drew inspiration from multiple personalities for Spring 2011. The clothes were topsy-turvy, even accented with institutional stripes and straight jacket straps. But what seems chaotic at first becomes carefully thought out upon closer inspection, and we definitely respect that.
Do you like outlandish runway looks, or do you prefer designs that easily translate to real life?
