I Want to Live in the World

where I can wear Day-Glo diaphrams and call it art.  This Agatha Ruiz de la Prada dress walked the runway at Dfashion in Mexico City this week.

Below, many more fun dresses that I just love to look at.  No idea if the designer intended these to be wearable but I’m thinking no.

  • i can’t seem to understand the construction of that dress, i so want to know how all those different colour parts are attached

    nice pick, wendie, that’s the most mind-blowing dress of them all

  • I looked at every single picture, and Im sorry but not ONE of these models has a pretty face. Not one.

    Beer me five!

  • Ew nevermind Skye you’re right! I posted the first comment before looking at the pictures. Where did they find these girls???

  • I showed this to my 6 yr old daughter & she LOVED all of them. She must have said cute, cool & awesome 100 times! She also said it reminded her of Dr. Seuss (she’s reading a book now!) And she asked me if I’d buy her shoes that looks like those girls shoes!

  • I’m Spanish – as Agatha. She is well-known in Spain for being married to a strange guy, but mostly for the fashion collections she always releases. Her clothes for adults are very colourful and many people wouldn’t wear them (although they’re nowhere as weird as the clothes in her fashion shows!!), but her collections for kids are amazing. I used to have clothes of her :D

  • I guess I don’t get it?
    Aren’t runway shows supposed to showcase your clothes in order to get people to buy them?
    These are neat, but I’d never check anything else of hers out by looking at these. I’d be afraid she’d just make me look like a retarded clown.

  • I agree with Anne. What is the point of this show and these dresses? How does this designer make a living? And yea, most of these models are butt ugly.

  • Fashion designer : “hey Cyril , last night I got absolutely wasted,stoned and off my rocker on a batch of this bad LSD and decided to whip up these really kooky goofy outfits! ….so what I wanna know is how many of those air-head models you reckon have the kahonies to wear them down the runway??”
    Fashion designer`s friend Cyril : “all of `em!”

  • Going crazy with colors and silhouettes is no excuse for construction and execution that look like a craft project. These “dresses” look like they were designed and sewn by a class of kindergartners. This is not fashion. Whoever made the Nina Garcia comment was spot on.

  • Several of these models look like they’re actually enjoying the show and smiling! I don’t think I’ve seen that before on a runway, they usually look all stern and PMSing and like they’re too concentrated on walking right to crack a smile…

  • Agatha wears them herself
    her hubby used to be directing a famous spanish newspaper
    and she also has a line of products for decorative purposes
    linens, clothes for kids, etc

  • I found myself giving each dress a nickname: the Pinata, the Clown, the Table, the Bow-Tie, the Toilet Brush, the Art Project, the Car Shades ….

    ps: Runway fashion is supposed to be over the top; it always has been. The ready-to-wear versions of these same clothes would be much more subdued.

  • I like this attempt to bring like what 17th century bubble skirts in combo with say early 1980s primary colors. An interesting idea in theory, not so much in actual context.

    And yes, if I saw someone wearing one of those outfits, I’d totally ask how long the circus was in town…

  • This lady makes beatiful pencils, schollbags and such, but real clothing…..to clownish for me and the world
