There isn’t anything quite as repulsive as some clothing designers attempt at what they consider to be “high fashion.” The only thing that I can think of that grates me as much as these infantile attempts at art is people who say, “I don’t give a fuck,” at every opportunity of yet continue to wear name brand clothes.

Now, the problem with high fashion is that every September, Fashion Week starts and I can’t turn on the T.V. without having to hear about some new line coming out or another runway show that’s filled with such stunningly experimental pieces. What’s interesting is that none of it is stunning or experimental. It’s clothes, there’s nothing more that can be done that’ll shock the world.

This being the case, the models end up strolling the catwalk looking like a four-year-old designed their clothing and idiotic fashion “reporters” sit around circle-jerking each other, nutting all over the fact that some article of clothing costs as much as it would have taken to feed a whole village in Somalia, but I guess frivolity isn’t what I’m discussing here.

I’m talking about high fashion and the idiots who eat it up like the iPhone fanboys who continually eat the shit shoveled out year after year by Apple in an attempt to look cool. But at least Apple products are functional in some way or another, high fashion isn’t even wearable in public in most cases as it’s so hideously cumbersome.

So, high-fashion designers, here’s what’s up: Your artistic vision is terrible, your clothes are hideous and no one is ever going to wear the shit you’re trying to push. Likewise, if you think that normal folks just don’t understand what statement you’re trying to say, you’re deluded and have some kind of severe superiority complex.
