This has been explained in every thread where the conversation turns to runway shows, but here goes:

There are 2 types of runway show. haute couture (high fashion) and pret-a-porter (ready to wear).

Ready to wear shows are just what they sound like: poo poo that actually gets sold and will do in stores.

Haute couture shows are intended as walking art pieces, inspirations from what is influencing the ready to wear line that season. It's never intended to be sold, although occasionally a celeb will want to wear some crazy number to an event and it will be resized and loaned out. But you'll never see it in stores. That's the show that usually make the news.

Oh no, I get what Haute Couture is, I just don't know how that inspires anyone. It's the same poo poo that gets brought up about abstract art, but at least with that, you don't have the uncanny valley feeling due there being a person under all that poo poo.

Yeah man, those are the most pissed off tits I've ever seen. It's like they're challenging me to a fight.

I don't know. Some of us just really like it? :milkie:

Also, it costs them money to put on the shows and nothing is for sale so who's it hurting?

*sighs disapprovingly* ok, I guess.

Lot more misogynistic alt right poo poo heads in GBS lately, that is true. But Lena Dunham is like the most self indulgent terrible hill to die on in the defense of women.

I agree that a lot of the criticism is bullshit and based on the same old gamer gate angry white dude poo poo, but she sure does make it easy to fall into that. It's a good litmus test though.

And u even watched girls. I think it's an ok show, but Lena is the worst part about it. Maybe she's triggering ME
