    Now that is some serious pseudo-intellectual bullshit worthy of this thread. Thumbs up, seriously.

        Christian, putting aside the debate as to whether or not OOO (or atleast beauty in OOO) falls victim to virtus dormativa, I really like this notion.

          No, I haven't seen them worn. Since when do you have to see a shoe worn to determine if it's nice or not?

          Listen, I fetishize Poell as much as the next guy, but what's fugly is fugly...


          pictures sometimes don't give a good representation of items. I use to think CCP was really overhyped ugliness until I handled it up close. I mean some things are ridiculous and ugly to me still, but you can't expect one to like everything a designer produces.

          The shoes in question at face value its hard to say really whether they are ugly or not, imo. I enjoy looking at them, though..dunno if the grotesque look on his shoes has grown on me or something, lol. I don't like when people say shit like, "OH those shoes look like insert cheap shoe brand ____" cuz its just an easy way out without explaining why they don't like it or why it isn't worth the cost.

            I find it strange that this site is dedicated to avant-garde fashion design yet whenever someone really pushes the boundaries there is a conservative cry of dismay from many.

            Isn't that the pursuit of a great artist/ designer?

              Just because you do something outside the box it doesn't automatically turn out great.

                for some reason, it's so easy in fashion for the avant-garde to jump the shark and become simple bad taste.

                less so in traditional visual art (painting, sculpture) in my opinion.

                  ^yes, traditionally fine artists just get lazy not crazy (goya notwithstanding)

                    If the jacket was part of a runway show it would elicit a much different response, I think.
