Maison Martin Margiela's Fall 2008 Collection: Tired For So Many Reasons

Obviously, Belgian designer Maison Martin Margiela didn’t get the memo about the horrific practice of “necklacing” before allowing these monstrosities onto the runway yesterday. (For those of you not familiar with necklacing, it's a common style of execution in which a tire filled with gasoline is placed around a person’s neck and then set on fire.)

I’m sure he thought he was being innovative. I’m sure he thought he would make people gasp. (I know I did, but for all the wrong reasons.) But, innovation aside, his collection was poorly executed and unrealistic. (Although, these might work as turtlenecks for people with botched collagen injections. Somebody get Britney Murphy on the phone!)
