Who are the people who buy this stuff? Is there a place out there where people dress this way? Someone has to fund the creation of these clothes and these shows… Who is the culprit!?

No, seriously, everything about it looks calculated to be tacky. The massive shoulderpads make him look like he’s walking with a swaggering hunch, and the hat is the kind you’d wear in a snowball fight. Ducks and bobby pins? What kind of design is that? And having the pants cut right over the socks calls to mind stereotypical images of an old-timey schoolboy. And that last one looks like Pyramid Head’s less-successful younger brother.

They’re like non sequiturs. “Midriff-baring sweater shirt.” “Swimming cap with Walmart fabric pattern tuxedo.” “A collar so high you can scratch your ears on it.”

In what situation would it ever be appropriate to wear any of these outfits? When would it ever be fashionable or stylish? I’m half-convinced clothing like this is made only to be worn at fashion shows.

I don’t know who all of them are, but I do know that Steve Vai is probably one of them.
