NY Fashion Week: Atil Kutoglu Fall 2006

Oh, the humanity!

Seriously. Who in any of the five planes of existence wants to dress up like a giant aqua blimp? Oh, excuse me, a giant aqua blimp with sheer stripes because the only thing that's sexier than a blimp is a blimp who's flashing her undies.

When people who don't like fashion want to claim that fashion designers hate women, this is the kind of image they seek out. It doesn't even have the dignity of the sack dress -- the transparent stripes make sure of that.

How could you even sit in this? Sitting would turn that neckband into a choke collar.

Click on the image to see the rest of the collection. The pale-magenta striped satin jumpsuit is a doozy, too.

Maybe the shows later today or tomorrow will bring me something I like, or at least don't want to scrub my eyeballs after seeing. We can always hope.
