... the broken shed nailed to the face is quite a good style for someone who looks like me but I'd worry about running into something due to only being able to see out of one eye. I just hope no-one's wearing it and sitting in front of me in the cinema - I wouldn't see much either ;)

I sit here dressed in a pair of thermal lined cargo-style trousers bought mail-order for £30 for two pairs (they advertise in the Guardian) and a thermal long-sleeved vest under a wool sweater bought from a charity shop, so who am I to criticise fashion? I'm wearing more or less the same type of clothes I've been wearing for 30 years and have no intention of changing. I gave up wearing ties when I was involved in designing multi-head industrial knitting machines in the 1970s - getting one caught in the mechanism wasn't something to be contemplated lightly. I used to keep one in my desk drawer at work in case I had to go to lunch with a rep, but that was it. When I retired I donated it to a colleague ... it was my 25 years service tie :)

One thing really does puzzle me above all ... how do those guys resist bursting into hysterical laughter?

...most women probably wouldn't touch anything showed at the fashion shows targeted at them with a bargepole (well, unless they happen to be a certain pop star who's made a habit of wearing unusual items of clothing). It increasingly seems as though the "collections" shown at these events are more wearable art than items designed to be worn in any other context.

I'm surprised no one has yet commented on picture #13,

"PLEASE KILL ME"

I'm sure all the models felt that way!
