Tomorrow is the start of New York's Fashion Week. Expect bizarre haute couture creations, people wearing sunglasses indoors, and plenty of man on the street shots of hangers-on around West Soho who show off their fashion creations on the curb.

This time around, expect something different too. This will be the first American fashion week to devote itself to men's fashion, but it isn't novel to Europeans. Our friends across the Atlantic have long had an interest in men's fashion.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing what the show has to say about trends in professional fashion.
 
I am so excited. This sure beats reading Esquire to find out what the well dressed man should have in his wardrobe.

The models include some of the hottest runway names of the moment, among them a towheaded 17-year-old Englishman named Charlie James, a Karl Lagerfeld favorite whose trademark is what, in this viewer’s teenage years, was known as metal mouth.

Along with his dental braces, Mr. James was wearing shiny blue trousers cropped to midcalf, a shiny crinkly orange rain slicker and a shirt printed with a goat-and-tire-trucks pattern resembling the curtains in a toddler’s bedroom. His outfit, as its designer, Jackson McKeehan, explained, was inspired in a general way by family values — specifically, the von Trapp and the Manson families.

Ummm. Wut?
 
Is it really fashionable now to make long pants look like you outgrew them 2 years ago?

If I had worn any of those outfits to school when I was a kid, I would have risked being beaten senseless. Not to mention I would have been followed around by a trail of laughter.

Is that a banana in your pants? Or are you just happy to see me?
 
Times change. Maybe at long last the fascistic fashionistas are losing their grip on what the rest of us should be wearing.

Isn't it about time we got to wear whatever we like and are comfortable in? Instead of having to conform to other people's notions of what's right or not?
 
Right . Wearing what some designer tells us we should wear isn't conforming to others' notions in the least.

Look at the two kids in the corner. Either they are mortified to even be seen in those clothes, or they are watching a spider we can't see.
 
£10 clothes from Primark look better than all the trash I see from designer labels and modelling crap.

I can spot sarcasm on a good day with a searchlight.

Now, tell me how you're disagreeing with me?
 
Matiere show.

Eponymovs (Ugh. I hate those short, narrow pants there.)

Thom Browne. I don't think the booties are actually part of this. Also, more awful short pants.

Holy HD hairy legs!!!
 
Why do male models always look like they can't wait to start a fight ? I've seen a lot of angry faces on posters, and they're even doing it on stage. It makes me want to punch them.
 
Well, see now that's actually a job I would like to have for that reason, because I hate being constantly told to smile.

A job I can do without having to smile would be great. Buy unfortunately I'm not pretty enough.
 
This seems more a parody of fashion than the real thing.
 
I must admit I pay little or no attention to it. I wouldn't have even known about this until the thread was created.

But I did find all the tents that pop up in city parks in Manhattan and the hassles they create to be quite disturbing. What gives the city the right to bar the taxpayers from properly using the parks as they are intended, just so the fashion crowd doesn't have to rent building or convention center space just like everybody else?
 
Fashion shows remind me of when my parents used to buy my clothes.

Though mind you I totally want one of those male burkas as in one of those pictures. The white burka on the left.
 
Male face veils are a hugely lacking fashion trend that I want. And not those typically oppressive looking ones that women wear, but like the fancy ones in one of those pictures.
