Sure, no normal human being would actually wear these aviary Gothic Mad Max pieces from the spring 2010 collection &#8211; but they do make for good conversation.

<p>This is the first post about Fashion Week since I was in New York &#8211; even when I was in New York, I hardly posted anything on any shows because, frankly, there really wasn&#8217;t anything tickling my pickle at the tents.</p>
<p>It took Scott&#8217;s <em>Flintstones</em> inspired collection at London Fashion Week to inspire me to actually write something about what&#8217;s coming down the runway. With his collection, I can&#8217;t help but think, &#8220;Is he punking us? Or is he actually for real?&#8221; It is just this literal interpretation of our favorite domestic stone age family.</p>
<p>As a bathing suit or underwear, I think some of these garments would work with some editing. Other than that, I have no idea who or what would wear this. Is it art? Or is this just a way for Scott to say, &#8220;If you&#8217;re going to let me put on a fashion show, I am going to send down a bunch of cartoony malarky down the runway just because&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Is there method to his madness? Or is he just giving a big middle finger to the fashion world?</p>
<p>All of a sudden, I am craving Fruity Pebbles.</p>

According to NBC New York&#8217;s blog, The Thread, this is how it&#8217;s gonna go down: Here&#8217;s how the competition, called “9 Countries, 9 Men, 1 Winner,” will work: One man will be chosen to be the epitome of Calvin Klein billboard manhood from each of the participating countries, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Spain and Sweden. Then a panel of judges &#8212; among them current billboard model Jamie Dornan and Calvin Klein execs &#8212; will pick the ultimate winner. Yup, this is a &#8220;pan European&#8221; contest. Therefore excluding the fine chiseled oily variety bohunks of America. I ain&#8217;t hating. I am just reportin&#8217;. Okay, maybe there&#8217;s a little hatin&#8217; here &#8211; but how can I not?
