Unwearable fashion is one of the main trends of recent years. Every season (or more often), brands from young to old launch coveted products that are admired but cannot be worn. Or wear it, but suffer. The list of such things definitely includes a JW Anderson pigeon clutch, Astro Boy toy boots from MSCHF, and a panty bag from Les Fleurs Studio.
By the way, Alena Goryacheva, our columnist and author of Devil Wears H&M Telegram channel, talked about why eccentric products are rapidly gaining popularity a year ago.
Today we decided to go even further and collected seven crazy designer inventions that cannot be worn under any circumstances. We hope you’re ready to see a metal jacket, keyboard top, paper dress and much more.
metal jacket
The Loewe jacket that Jonathan Anderson presented at Men’s Fashion Week in Paris was made of metal, not leather or even plastic. To create an unusual “outfit”, the brand’s team and sculptor Eli Hirsch needed eight kilograms of iron and one month to manufacture.
glass bag
Last year, Coperni’s glass bags took the internet by storm. All bloggers, stylists and influencers dreamed of a transparent and very fragile accessory. However, tiktokers began to mock the fact that even the phone does not fit in the cherished bag, with a particular passion for innovation.
keyboard top
Jonathan Anderson is the genius of modern surrealism. You will see the works of his authorship more than once in this collection. Last year, everyone went crazy for Loewe heels in the shape of roses, soaps, and nail polish. The designer’s experiments did not end there, and last September he released a keyboard top for his own brand, JW Anderson.
paper dress
And now we offer to travel back in time and learn a little more about the fashion innovations of those years. It turns out that paper dresses were very popular in the 1960s and cost only a dollar. True, they could only be worn once or twice because they quickly tear and deteriorate.
Sprouted Grass Pants
We weren’t kidding when we said you’ll see Jonathan Anderson’s creations multiple times in this collection. Last June, the London-based designer unveiled green sprout trousers, sneakers and coats that he created with Spanish artist Paula Oularghi Escalona. It took almost three weeks to make each item, so the main question for the fashion community was how to wear it and in what form it would go on sale. A few weeks ago, the same sneakers appeared on the brand’s website. True, the model had artificial grass instead of real grass.
Dress made of plastic discs
Fashion futurist Paco Raban has managed to shock the public from the very beginning of his career. Even the name of the first collection speaks for itself: “Manifesto: 12 unwearable dresses made from modern materials.” One of the unwearable outfits was a dress made of plastic discs. And yes, it was impossible to sit in it. This is all due to the risk of crushing discs and wire rings. Therefore, additional parts were always included in the kit. The designer herself explained her dresses very simply: “My dresses are popular because they are shocking. No woman can wear them and go unnoticed.”
hairpin dress
After Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s fashion show at London Fashion Week, all Telegram channels whispered how cool it would be for designer Dilara Fındıkoğlu to replace Sarah Burton as Alexander McQueen’s creative director. And it seems we understand why. The big-name British brand clearly lacks new ideas and bold decisions. Like Dilla. And here’s the proof: Looking at her new collection, we stumbled upon a dress made of hairpins and invisibles.
