Fashion Forward: Jeremy Scott Sends Quite Possibly The Gayest Things Down The Runway At Fashion Week
Now that New York Fashion Week is safely behind us, we’ve had a moment to peruse the collections for the fab, the fey, the unrepentantly gay. It was a hard call, but we have to say Jeremy Scott took the “Gayest Shit at Fashion Week” prize with his wild Spring 2012 collection, offering chaps in chaps and girls in girdles.
The Kansas City-born designer has outfitted everyone from Madonna, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga to Justin Timberlake, Kanye and Miss Piggy (Scott even designed Britney’s S&M stewardess outfit for the Toxic video.) He’s a voracious consumer of pop culture, incorporating fast-food imagery and Micky Mouse iconography into various outfits. Bitch even has Karl Lagerfeld saying he’s the only designer who could ever succeed him at Chanel. And Uncle Karl doesn’t dish out the complements often!
Check out some highlights of his insane new collection above then watch a clip of the runway show itself below.

Wow! Dizzy! Problem is with these clothes, the people who can afford to buy them hardly ever look good in them…..

Gotta say,I looked through ALL of the pictures this time. Can’t say that for some of the model shoots. But this was like a car crash: I couldn’t look away!
Isn’t it ironic, though, that they put that skeleton mini-dress on a girl who was already pretty much a skeleton?

I wish they would desing maternity tops for men……..for those of us with beer guts a/k/a fat bellies.
That would be cool and semi-gay.

This shit would not fly on Project Runway. Tangerine Queen would have ravaged a designer if they sent out a female model in over-sized briefs. NGFDMCM would also question the taste level of so many asses on parade.

Those are some nasty outfits and surprisingly unattractive models >_O
I get that they use the runway as a chance to just go wild and come up with crazy stuff, and that stuff never hits boutiques, but… yikes

I love the hell out of that campy crap; we’ve seen male underwear and swim suite models, but with wings or see-through cow spots? Men’s wear tends to stay on the tradional/conservative side on runways. It’s good to get a laugh in!

There really is nothing original in these designs.
“Bikini with Chaps” is “in” for a few minutes every seven years.
Then it goes “out” again, immediately, for good reason.

@ Erich- while I agree that this collection was mostly uninspired, poorly designed, disjointed and quite ugly- I have to disagree on the Project Runway thing.
I mean just look at last season: Gretchen (who I thought should have been out after week 2) won that season with a collection that didn’t have just one pair of brown, ugly granny panties but THREE. And they were even more unflattering and diaper-like than what this guy did.

@AedanRoberts – I’m still pretending that Wretchen never happened.

Seriously why would anyone want to label these rags as gay? These clothes have to be like concept cars… hardly any will make it to production. I could see some people wearing some of this stuff separately but the whole outfit at once? My eyes are burning.
@MassRopes; You’re spot-on, this is a train wreck that you can look away from!

The clothes were ugly, they guys(except #12) weren’t that hot. So it was pretty much a waste of my clicks.

Is Queerty using the phrase “the gayest things down the runway” a complement or an insult they are not even aware of making?
