Amateurs.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Clearly if you want some good clothing to survive the apocalypse, you want a bikers leather riding jumpsuit preferably in red. (akira)
After all, regular clothes will be torn to rags on the broken masonry of our once glorious society.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> The only article of clothing that might be even remotely functional in ze post-apocalypse (and this is a stretch at best) would be that dog-witch skirt with the albino trefoil (aka Radioactive) symbols all over it. 'Cus you know, if you have been exposed to radioactive isotopes, you'd want to let everyone know that your baby-making capacities are pretty much shot, lest you want to breed the next Gen of Homo sapien sapien mutatis. Sounds like high fashion for the people of what? Chernobyl?

Sinflux

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> The runway clothing looks somewhat apocalyptic to me. As in, "Oh no all my clothes were stolen by zombies I will just wear this blanket around my neck."

As for the other clothing..."Oh no the zombies are coming for us and we are barricaded inside of Hot Topic after the zombies stole all our non-ugly clothing"

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Sigh, fishnet, biker gear and bodices. We should be so lucky. It's gonna be grubby hand-me-downs looted from burned out WalMarts when the end times come.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Are you sure this clothing line is for zombie-attack survivors and not the zombies themselves. If it's actually the latter, I think these designers are very kind for helping our undead foes pick their outfits. Once your brain has been destroyed by the virus/nanobots/MacGuffin, you might find it quite difficult to co-ordinate your wardrobe. Also, the reduced-mobility issues are entirely irrelevant if you're only going to shuffle slowly toward your prey.

Maybe they're the bait?!

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I'd have to hike up all of those skirts around my waist to actually run from cannibal bikers...please tell me there's a lingerie line that actually has finished seams.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> According to Yeohlee Teng, this particular collection was inspired by Shakers. I'm not sure what that says about the nature of the apocalypse, but if I ever feel compelled to put on nothing but a spandex catsuit and a hood made out of a sleeping bag, I'll probably be about ready for the world to end.

I had no idea Redeker was such a mysogynist.

MaxTwice

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Wow.
That's the most unattractive clothing I've seen on a woman in a long time.

They really would look better in burlap sacks.

KraZe

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @92BuickLeSabre: Definitely best wikipedia moment ever.

Annalee Newitz

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> So apparently what they said about Cher surviving the apocalypse was true? This stuff belongs at a rave that happened 10 years ago. And those shredded skirts are so halfassed.

cheera

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @Plague: That and I don't want to get recognized and sucker punched by some World of Warcraft nut.

But more because we are kind of big deals.

Garrison Dean, King Awesome

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I thought a dogwitch was the same as hobodogs and iguana on a stick.

Skeller

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @Garrison Dean:
Yes.
Because we are both really important people and no one should know who we are.

;)

Plague

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I thought a dogwitch was hot dogs on sliced bread...

Maybe they don't mean fashion for a post-apocalypse world, but clothing from a post fashion-apocalypse world.

Klebert L. Hall

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @Plague: we were both wrong, and right.

I was really jazzed to see that look on him as I have several pics of me like that, but sadly can't post them here due to the importance of anonymity among people I regularly argue with and pick on. Maybe if I get drunk and arrogant later.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I really like the the skirt with the metal plate to protect your ovaries from gamma rays.

No, only a GOATEE makes you the evil one.

Plague

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @Annalee Newitz: According to wikipedia:

"I'm a neo-ecto-maxi-pagan...voodoo junkie and dabblin' ouija monkey! I'm the saucy spellbinder...the zoom-doom floozy, spawn of spooky... I'M THE GODDAMN TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY DOGWITCH!"

...which may, in fact, be the best wikipedia quote I've ever seen.

@Garrison Dean: Thank god the title pops up before the video starts...just enough time to not hear a single beat. *Whew, that was close.*

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Is this Chloe Sevigny's new line? Forgive the entirely probable misspelling.

sybann

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @Plague: Not possible. I often sport a mustache, which would make me the bad one probably.

@92BuickLeSabre: And now I have "Don't you want me" stuck in my head. It was used really well in that cookie commercial. Here watch it.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @92BuickLeSabre: Ha! I'm still just trying to figure out what the hell "dogwitch" is. Post-apocalyptic hound?

Annalee Newitz

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I don't see anyone with shoulderpads. Where are the shoulderpads with big spikes in them?

Epaminondas

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> This is all very 1998. I rocked the long skirts with flair look hard back in the day.

SoleilMoonPie

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> The Sludge Facktory model looks slightly mortified in the shots where her hair is not covering her face. And rightly so.

emsley

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I assume that the atomic bomb did that to the end of her skirt.

mepo

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Those are awful cybergoth clothes. There's no such thing as good cybergoth clothes by the way.

crescentia

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Daymn, I want that fluorescent pink straight-jacket!
But, seriously, the second set of pictures is interesting, but the first set just looks like your run of the mill pseudo punk clothing. Nothing special there.
But I seriously want that jacket.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @Garrison Dean: The two previous songs playing on my iTunes were Devo's "Jerkin' Back and Forth" and Human League's "Don't You Want Me."

So, no, not goth; more like my TARDIS broke down in the mid-80s, and I can't seem to get back.

@Annalee Newitz: This is exactly why I don't trust it when your new hires are "seemingly nice."

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I totes want black nailpolish after the apocalypse so you can't see all the dried blood under my fingernails.

Annalee Newitz

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Geez... there's, like, no leather, chains, or fur in there. This must be the Vegan apocolypse.

Rus

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> You don't want anything with rings, strands, clasps or anything that will provide zombies or road bandits with a handhold of any kind, nor do you want anything in danger of getting sucked into the pulley of a supercharger. You need to make sure you can hop from vehicle to vehicle with a crossbow in each hand without fear of getting your garments snagged on a spike.

stjohn

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @jenndavo: Either that or the rips will come from climbing over the broken rubble of civilization.

NefariousNewt

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> @92BuickLeSabre: Did I just piss of an old school goth?! And more importantly is LeSabre an old school goth?

@Plague: and death comes on little cats feet.

Garrison Dean, King Awesome

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I have a hard time calling that 'mainstream'. It's 'high fashion', but I don't think it fits a definition of mainstream I've heard. But yeah, ponchos and jumpsuits. woo

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Looks like the hot topics been looted. Guess I'll have to go loot old navy.

Skeller

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> I have a feeling the zombies will come just to rip these heinous clothes off these peoples bodies.

Garrison Dean, King Awesome

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Why do I need to wear pre-ripped crap after the apocolypse? Won't the mutant zombie hordes just do the tearing for me?

jenndavo

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Possible Outfits for the Apocalypse]]> Mesh is good against radioactivity. Also, torn t-shirts stop bacterial infection.
