30 Weirdest Things to Come Down the Runway

Thierry Manfred’s Creature

Thierry Manfred’s Creature

You may have seen Thierry Manfred’s work previously on Beyoncé, who wore a motorcycle corset that he designed. However, we’re pretty confused about this…creation. What is it supposed to be? Why does it exist? It’s super weird, but at least it’s beautiful to look at, which is more we can say from other things on this list.

Eckhaus Latta’s Pants

Eckhaus Latta’s Pants

Eckhaus Latta has plenty of stuff you can wear to work or school, but this? It’s probably best to pass on it. It looks like the designer sewed a shirt onto your pants, which seems more inconvenient than anything. What is this even supposed to mean?

Michael Lau’s Mummy

Michael Lau’s Mummy

So, this one was specifically designed for a Halloween gala, but why does it have to haunt our dreams? It’s utterly terrifying. It’s supposed to be some mummy creature, and while it’s probably the scariest thing I’ve ever seen during Halloween, that doesn’t mean it should exist. Please, send it back.

Does this look like gushers to anyone else? On top of the strange dress, the model is painted silver, which can’t be comfortable, but anything for fashion, we suppose. We just have one question: is that thing heavy?

Walter Van Beirendonck’s Cubism

Walter Van Beirendonck’s Cubism

This is what happens when fashion designers take Picasso as inspiration, except this outfit doesn’t even look good from a distance. Something like that is best left to paintings. At least, the pants look fairly normal, but that model looks extremely unhappy.

Julie Brawley’s Sir Lace Alot

Julie Brawley’s Sir Lace Alot

It took Julie Brawley 300 hours to make this Mad-Hatter-esque outfit, but it wasn’t all in vain. She won the Brancott Estate World of WearableArt Award. Apparently, Peter Jackson and Orlando Bloom also liked this creation. To each their own.

Percy Lau’s Eyewear

Percy Lau’s Eyewear

Percy Lau has tons of weird sunglasses that make no sense. The fashion designer even made eyewear that looks like cat eye lenses, but these take the cake. If your sunglasses already got caught in your hair, think about how annoying these things would be. Hard pass.

Josefin Arnell’s Designs

Josefin Arnell’s Designs

Josefin Arnell had some of the weirdest designs during this fashion show, but this one takes the cake. It’s some sort of baby chic…at least, we think so. It’s hard to focus on one weird thing from the eyewear to the four-foot long sleeves and the cloud platforms.

Gareth Pugh in 2007

Have you always wanted to look like a supervillain? Gareth Pugh has your back. If you look close enough, you can tell the woman is wearing a leather suit with some sort of fishnet around her. Also, her arms are in the pyramid…sleeves? We’re going to say sleeves.

Bas Kosters Stay Weird

Bas Kosters Stay Weird

Bas Kosters loves color and creates some of the strangest creatures you’d probably ever see walk across the runway. Out of all his weird monsters, this one is one of the best. It looks fuzzy and soft, but the thing that stands out is the fact the model is barefoot.

Gucci Fall 2018

Gucci Fall 2018

This fashion style looks like it walked straight out of Where the Wild Things Are mixed with a little bit of ‘70s flair. At least, you won’t be cold in this fuzzy outfit. Winter will have nothing on you, except for the wide pant legs.

Irene Luft Berlin Fashion Week

Irene Luft Berlin Fashion Week

Irene Luft made a huge statement at Berlin Fashion Week with this gas mask and cellophane look. The gold is a nice touch, and the gas mask is useful (maybe), but we don’t see it in shops any time soon. Then again, if there’s a gas attack, you can be fashionable in this golden mask.

Moschino Menswear Collection

Moschino Menswear Collection

Can’t you see this in your closet? Yeah, us neither. This outfit looks like it’s perfect for someone that has a meeting at 4 PM, but has to rob a house at 5 PM – it’s all about efficiency. The only issue is that a place for the nose would be great. The poor model looks like he’s suffocating.

Gareth Pugh Ready-to-Wear Fashion

Gareth Pugh Ready-to-Wear Fashion

Alright, Gareth Pugh. We’re going to have to agree to disagree with the “Ready-to-Wear” portion of this design. That thing would be miserable to walk in. Also, is the model holding open the plastic on the front? Is it cutting her? How hot is it? Too many questions, too little answers.

Hu Sheguang Haute Couture

Hu Sheguang Haute Couture

The only thing we think of when we see this is Hellraiser. If that wasn’t the inspiration, we don’t know what was. It’s incredibly nightmarish, too. Put that thing back where it came from or so help me.

Alessandro Michele Gucci Fall 2018

Alessandro Michele Gucci Fall 2018

Um? Is Alessandro Michele okay? Can someone check on them? Apparently, this model-carrying-her-own-head design was inspired by an essay written by Donna Haraway in 1984. The idea is pretty interesting, but that doesn’t make it any less weird for high-fashion.

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2001

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2001

This isn’t what anyone means when they say they want to get back to nature. Trees and plants belong on the ground, not on our body – we’ll make an exception for flowers. This outfit might make someone mistake you for an out-of-season Christmas tree.

Comme Des Garcons Fall 2018

Comme Des Garcons Fall 2018

See the flower pillow, be the flower pillow. The big issue with being a giant flower pillow is that it’s far too formal – better throw on some tennis shoes. Actually, that’s a little too dressed down, let’s throw on a wedding gown. Oh, yes. That’s perfect.

Fyodor Golan London Spring Week 2015

Fyodor Golan London Spring Week 2015

Trying to choose between trainers and high heels is tough. Wait, what are we talking about? We’ve never had this issue, and we doubt many people have, so why were these created? If anyone does have this problem in the future, their issues are solved.

Viktor & Rolf Couture

Viktor & Rolf Couture

We have many questions. Why is the model wearing jeans and boots with the dress? Of course, we have to address the elephant in the room – the head. This was obviously a choice by the designer since models are fine with being seen. The pink hair is off-putting, and the eyes are staring into our soul.

Lisbeth Antoine’s Design

Lisbeth Antoine’s Design

Our eyes may be deceiving us, but we don’t think so. This outfit was made to look blurry. It’s interesting, but weird nonetheless. If anything, Lisbeth has our respect for making something that fools the eyes. Wonder what it was like in person…

Rick Owens Fall 2017 Menswear

Rick Owens Fall 2017 Menswear

This outfit is like the designer took nuns and comfort as inspiration. It looks super warm and comfy, so we can’t help but think about sleeping when we see it. The benefit is that you can pretty much lay down anywhere, and you’re in “bed.”

Margin Margiela Fall 2014

Margin Margiela Fall 2014

No matter how fun bubble wrap is, you should never wear it. Even if you’re totally bored, just carry a square with you. This outfit is what you get when you want a boxer to dress a little safer for the ring. The bubble wrap may cushion some of the hits, but it would be much better with a bubble wrap face mask.

Being a Glamorous Model

Being a Glamorous Model

Alright, so being a model isn’t all fun and games. We often wonder what it’s like for the people that have to wear those horrendous outfits. This model is an example of that. They may be surrounded by some of the most beautiful people in the world and best designers, but they still put up with some stuff.

Rei Kawakubo Comme des Garcons Camp

This design is for those days you can’t decide what to wear. The answer is right in front of you: wear it all. Put it on and strut like you’re walking across a runway. It doesn’t matter if the colors clash or if you can’t use your hands.

Martin Margiela’s Jacket

Martin Margiela’s Jacket

At first, we thought this was incredibly ridiculous, but then we thought about it for a second. This jacket is perfect for when you have to leave the house, but you really don’t want to talk to another human. It’s already in my shopping cart.

Agatha Ruiz De La Prada in Milan

We know models have to be starving, so it seems a little cruel to dress them up in food. Maybe De La Prada was also hungry when they designed this outfit. If you take away the food, you actually have a pretty cute dress.

It goes without saying you shouldn’t hurt your models – or so we thought. Even if this is fake, it’s weird to put a giant safety pin through a model’s face. We’d say that outfit looks normal, but we can only see the shirt and vest.

Carlos Diez’s Masks

Carlos Diez’s Masks

Were the masks part of the outfit or added for another reason? The outfits are strange, but not strange enough to make it on this list alone. The masks add that little je ne sais quoi that makes them pop up in our worst nightmares.

John Galliano for Christian Dior

How much hairspray are they using for this model? We’re going to guess that there’s a piece of Styrofoam somewhere in there, but that doesn’t make it any better. The outfit doesn’t flatter the hairstyle either. Overall, this is a hard pass.
