Margiela sends Cousin It down the runway - Stylefoul!

Damn -- talk about a bad hair day! Cousin It walked the runway for Margiela's Paris Fashion Week show. And on top of the disaster 'do she forget her pants.

We're totally kidding, of course. The faceless model look is all part of fashion's eventual evil plan to turn strutters into nothing more than clothes hangers.

Margiela's faceless models

(click thumbnails to view gallery)


Women also did the catwalk for Margiela in a backwards fro, pantyhose over their heads, masks and bondage -- anything to keep them identity-less. To be honest, the whole show seemed anti-women.

We understand that designers would rather you focus on their works of art than on the beautiful girls wearing the outfits -- but you can't just erase the woman completely in women's fashion.

What comes first -- the chicken or the egg? It doesn't matter because you can't have one without the other. The same thing goes for couture designers and the women wearing the clothes. You can't have one without the other.

In this case, we don't really care that much about whether the collection itself was a hit or not because the whole show seemed degrading to women -- and that's a huge turnoff, no matter how the clothes look on the faceless models.

Photo #4 looks like extreme "camel-toe" to me, photo #9 makes me think of 'The Grudge', and photo #13 looks like her "peesh" is getting squeezed real hard.
