In honor of some of the polarizing looks showing at New York Fashion Week, I thought we would do a few fashion week editions of Love It or Hate It!
Take this Spring VPL ensemble, with its mustard, gray, and white color palette. It reminds me of an avant-garde ballet outfit, with its leotard-looking layered top and sheer lampshade-inspired skirt. So maybe it's not wearable in the real world, but even as conceptual fashion, do you dig it?

Seriously? How could someone wear that? You'd have to stand the whole time you were wearing it, it appears to me.
1no no no no!
2ew...
3GAG
4I'm not a fan of any VPL.
5Yikes! I don't like a thing about it! The top, the colors, the lampshade/skirt... Yuck!
6I LOVE ITT!! well not the umbrella skirt thing.. but the colors and the top part
7Well I love the color combination just not the ensemble itself.
8Hideous!
9The skirt looks like a dual-functioning mosquito net/chasity belt
10I like it as a runway look, most runway looks aren't supposed to be wearable for normal people
11The top looks lovely.
12guess one would have to view this as fashion as art.
13Not in this life time or the next. NO NO NO NO NO
14Hate
15i guess Visible Hoop Skirt is the next logical step from VPL? i eagerly await the hot visible undergarment of Fall 08.
16EW
17In a word....YIKES!!!!!!!
18I agree with Miss Sarahcateh! If designers showed their clothes ready for street-wear, know one would show up! The shows have to always do their best to dazzle the audience! This design is just "telling" us that in the coming season there will be a new silhouette... It is always exaggerated on the runway! When it is finally cut for street wear, it will be scaled down to make it wearable! Personally, I think it's fresh and fabulous!!!
19Ugh
20Hate it, not a fan of the color scheme..
21Um, what?
22um hate it
23love the top
24Yea, no, not a fan haha!
25Fashion isn't always functional. I like it!
26Beyond the hideous obviousness in this picture, I am really not digging the cowardly lion hair.
27I love the colors
28This is one of the many reasons why I'm not in the business anymore. Runway shows are not showcasing what normal people wear or want to wear to work or to school. Every darn show is a theatrical event for frustrated designers to show these far out designs that you would only dream about after eating some really bad cheese.
29has anyone heard of trickle down fashion?? these runway shows aren't what everyday people wear but they are what inspires it. designers for places like target and h&m look at these take inspiration from it and move forward and make trends and market the idea of a new silhouette or a new color palette.
30YIKES!!!
31I fully agree with velvetavalon. this isnt meant to be a runway to street look, but as a silhouette it just doesnt work. I'm all about the shape of the skirt and the high waist as a concept but the hemline KILLS it..this was a potentially sophisticated look sent into total cheese. I really hate it.
32even for haute couture the top looks poorly made.
33As conceptual fashion, it is perfect! It shows the designers take on 18th century Parisian court fashion, and smashes it with our fascination with deconstructed clothing (that going along with the theory of deconstructed garments and reality TV obsession). The silhouette is womanly, and colours are post-apocalyptic. I think this a precise representation of current society.
I feel that couture is not meant to be worn, but to be an extension of art.
Besides when will people get out from behind their sloppy tunics and start wearing something (anything!) tailored?
34no
35ew. that's all i have to say.
36i dont like the colors at all, and i really dont like the way it looks... the top's shape is nice, but the overall effect just isnt doing anything for me.
sort of...
37love it! it's just sooo wierd...
