Male model strong looks

[killer b]

The models have the very definition of a po face.

it's deadpan.

 

[Treacle Toes]

I think people are (deliberately?) misunderstanding the role of some of the more exaggerated pieces.

Why deliberately?

 

[Ho Chi Ming]

That's a 100% brilliant look. Highly sexy. Honestly, if cropped trousers are too transgressive for you, I'm genuinely saddened.

I'm not sure about trangressive, just ugly.

You say tomato

I say po.

Well they're not taking the piss out of the clothes, but the images are funn. That grey boiler suit and heels in the park - that's done with a sense of fun.

I seem to be on Neil Barrett's Instagram feed. Strong looks aplenty there, wearing £200 t-shirts.

And that's why it's funny. Durh.

It's done with a sense of fun... but I'm not allowed to find it fun?

you think it would work better if they looked zany and mugged like Jim Carrey?

 

[spanglechick]

You say tomato



I say po.

This is really not very odd. Baggy trousers and an oversized jumper. Very studenty in a nineties revival way.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Can anyone explain this one?

 

[ska invita]

Why?

i think with catwalk shows designers go over the top to make a "statement" and create a feel, and then the designs get slightly pared down for the ready-to-wear market.

look at that jumper man. just look at it. it's totally fucking ridiculous, I agree. but it's supposed to be ridiculous. You're laughing with them, not at them.

Ok.




Good luck with that.

There's a difference between mockery and wit.

I'm just laughing. I never said anything about with or at.

He's on his way for a neck transplant.

There's also a difference between my arse and my elbow. What of it?

 

[kabbes]

No.


No I don't. I think it's perfect as it is. I thought I'd made that abundantly clear, in fact.

 

[pengaleng]

yer just not funny.

 

[spanglechick]

Can anyone explain this one?

Is that fashion? It looks like something done for a journalistic piece...

that's what I said!

 

[Ho Chi Ming]

Can anyone explain this one?

It's one of those new hipster eateries where you eat your breakfast off someone. Like a low end 'nyotaimori'.
Cockwaffle, anyone?

 

[pengaleng]

 

[spanglechick]

Why deliberately?

I don't know. Because it's more enjoyable for them to pretend that those pieces are being suggested for the high street? It makes the joke work better?

 

[killer b]

tbh the po-faces are mostly on the people posting on this thread.

 

[cupid_stunt]

As if most 'fashion' isn't done for journalistic pieces.

Well yes, and some of those statement pieces make others laugh. The one I quoted for example...it was the long shirt sleeves that tickled me. Their annoying impracticalness made me laugh. Also the puffer jacket I posted. I just imagine trying to get through doorways on that or on the train.
