Default Is this how the women of DPS dress?

Like a lot of modern art, I will readily admit I don't get these fashion shows. Can anyone find any value in these outfits or tell me what I am missing?

Well, in this case, Elin's exposure just went viral simply for adding in those lampshade-goggles. Smart move.

I wear the hat in the second picture to all my shoots. It holds all my gear and accessories wonderfully and I never have to go far to get what I need.

No. Couture is concept. You occasionally see it out on the red carpet, but overall couture is an inspiration point for the commercial collection. Same thing with photography. Some girls get all feathered up (beauty/editorial) and the reality is people will wear the lipstick only (portrait photography).

Okay, now I see the value! Has an integrated flash bracket and there is no need for a vest.

Runway fashion like this is an awful lot like concept cars you see at auto shows, they're purposefully avant-garde. People don't end up wearing that exactly, just like everyone doesn't end up driving the ultra-curved or otherwise crazy-looking concept car, but the designs of the prototypes will sometimes end up trickling down to the mainstream designs.

Trickle-down creativity is a myth sold to us by our evil creative overlords.

I heard she just had stitches and they don't want her to pick at them.

Better than a UV filter for the face! Her designer moonlights as a veterinarian.
