Kleider machen Leute.

There are still some beautiful designer gowns being worn to red carpet occasions, thank goodness. I only hope that these abominations don't become the norm.

I like the dress with the hands.
Wouldn't wear it myself, obviously.

The Met Gala.
Kleider machen Leute ist zeitlos und überall. It's just that it seems to be going down the pan whatever the event!

OK, so the first image you posted is a Schiaparelli.

I know fashion is fashion, and I do like a bit of artistry, but can someone please tell these people that their clothes make them look embarrassing. At some gala last night.

The "Kleider machen Leute" gala was (I think) February.... and it's more business than gala I think...

Maybe this is the Met?

Their fashion advisers need shooting!
It gives a whole new (literal) dimension to The Emperor’s New Clothes.
I’d like to think it’s ironic, but I very much doubt it.
On the other hand, the Met Gala sounds like something eminently missable.

Oh my cod, I'm going to be sick!

Crazy - just wish I knew who they were!

😆
So obscene, GN aren't printing them?!
They appeared fine when I selected preview!

On my computer the picture is blank.

I am intrigued. I only know the title of the thread from the title of a short story by Gottfried Keller which loosely translates as 'Clothes make the man.'
