12 Weird Fashion Moments from 2017 That Made Us Say, "Wait, What?"
Fashion-wise, 2017 had a lot of highs.
It was a year in which there was more diversity on the runway, a year when designers used their platforms to make powerful political statements, and a year that included more body type inclusivity.
But it was also a year in which Crocs made (another) comeback, toilet paper passed for a purse, and thong jeans happened.
Keep scrolling for the years downright weirdest fashion moments.
1. Agatha Ruizs Donut Dress
When youre hungry and also dont know what to wear, just put on these giant f*cking donuts, as demonstrated by designer Agatha Ruiz De La Prada.
The OTT dessert dress made its way down the runway in February at Madrid Fashion Week.
2. Moschinos Toilet Paper Purse
The theme for Moschinos Fall/Winter 2017 show in February was literally garbage.
Models walked down the runway in cardboard box getups, feather-duster headpieces, and toilet-paper purses.
Fashion!.
3. Moschinos Dry Cleaning Bag Dress
Surprise! Another hit from Moschino.
The designers dry-cleaning bag dress first appeared in its runway show in February and became available for purchase in November.
Ironically, the care instructions for the $700 plastic garment state: Do not wash/Do not dry clean..
4. Topshops Clear Jeans
Clear fashion was really in this year for reasons I cant begin to fathom.
First, Topshop released clear knee jeans in March — and then, a month later, it went a step further by making pants entirely plastic.
5. Balenciagas IKEA Bag
The Balenciaga bag that sparked a thousand tweets first appeared in the brands Spring/Summer '17 menswear runway in July 2016, but it didnt go viral until April.
This spin on the iconic blue 99-cent IKEA tote could be yours for only $2,145! Almost as funny as the tote itself was IKEAs epic response.
6. Vetements Zipper Butt Jeans
In April, Vetements teased its collab with Levis and came up with these pants just perfect for mooning!!! And thats all, folks.
7. The RompHim
Male rompers (or RompHims) probably started out as a good idea.
The people behind it were so passionate that they even launched a Kickstarter in May to raise funding for what essentially are male onesies.
The designs went viral almost instantly and even were referenced on SNLs Weekend Update and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
8. Saint Laurents Roller Skate Heels
Because high heels arent already hard enough to walk in, Saint Laurent decided to add WHEELS so you could be the most stylish skater at the roller disco.
Designed by creative director Anthony Vaccarello, the shoes debuted in August for $1,995.
9. Guccis Latex Socks
Gucci introduced latex sock high heels in its Spring/Summer 17 show in September 2016, really going all-in on this niche market.
They finally became available for purchase at luxury retailers in Spring 2017 for almost $1,400.
10. Balenciagas Platform Crocs
If someone told me a couple of years ago that Crocs would, one day, be considered high fashion, I wouldve laughed.
But here we are! Christopher Kane included gem-adorned versions in his 2016 show, and then, in September, Balenciaga debuted its own take, which involved sky-high platforms.
11. Thong Jeans
These were the thong jeans heard round the world when they debuted at Tokyo Fashion Week in October.
Sure, theyre breezy.
Practical? Not so much.
12. Halloween Costume Thong Jeans
To make matters worse, this thong jean Halloween costume popped up on the Internet.
Leave it to Yandy to jump on a viral trend and turn it into a costume.
