Wear or Die: Buenos Aires Fashion Week edition

It may not be quite as well known as the New York/London/Paris/Milan events, but Buenos Aires has a Fashion Week too, and it's to Buebos Aires that we take you now, to ask the all-important question: if you had to wear one of the two outfits shown above – or die – which outfit would you choose?
You know the rules by now: you must wear the outfit as it's shown, and you must wear it in public. Or, you must die. Obviously no one would want to die over a silly old acorn/insect dress (would they?) so tell us: which option would you choose?

A looks like a Goose
B look like a Clam Shell.
I’d rather die.
wow. this one’s really hard. they both look SO horrid! I guess I would choose A, the acorn dress, because at least I could move both my arms (right??). but I hate the thights, I prefer the grey ones. also have you noticed how BOTH the models have the same unhappy expression? no wonder, right?
Not choosing to die, I’d pick A. But that would only be faced with death.
Option B. I think that ruffle would go farther toward hiding my face when I appear in public while being eaten by a giant oyster. I realize it’s concept-fashion, but how does this translate to a street-wearable look?
I would have to go with A:
1. I’m pale, so I fade away into non-existence when wearing beige clothes. I might be able to wear this without anyone noticing I was even in there.
2. B, the taco dress, looks really stiff and hard to sit in, while A seems to come with its own padding. Also, I like to be able to use both of my arms, and B makes that look impossible.
I guess if I HAD to choose one option, It’d have to be A, since I think fitting through doorways might be a good idea!
I’d wear B. I like the colors better and a little more eye-catching and creative. Ruffles have been done. Attack of the Monster Oyster chic? Not so much. Very “B-Movie”, I love it
I’d say I was promoting a new Ed Wood documentary.
Oh God… this is one of those moments when I am ashamed of being Argentinian… I apologize to the international fashion community on behalf of my country and authorize The Fashion Police to take this terrorist to Guantanamo.
I would be tempted to die, but instead I think I would choose A.
P/S: please tell me who this criminal is so I make sure I’ll never buy one of his/her costumes.
I think I would pick A…. I do love ruffles?
I don’t think I want to look like a dead bush or a seashell/taco. I’m going with death.
Fit me for the coffin.
I’m going with B. The lack of two arms concerned me, but not so much as being a pile of beige ruffles. So I’ve decided to “Go big or go home” which might be what that fashion designer was thinking.
Suppose it’ll be A, and I’ll market myself as giant loofah.
I think I’d go with the clam shell, and just tell everyone I’m happy as a clam.
I’d wear A – Attacked by the ruffle monster. It looks slightly more comfortable than being eaten by a giant clam.
B. Only because it’s slightly longer.
A for me. I’d rather look like a walking mille-feuille than be trapped inside a clam.
I’d wear either if it was Halloween, then I’d win the costume contest for sure!
Goodbye cruel world.
I like the one that looks like a REALLY moldy sandwich.
Ooh… I’m sorry but I quite like option A. *hides quickly*
B because at least the material’s quite nice, and I won’t be getting any Nora Batty comments about the tights…
B because I could move my arms and get drunk fast so I wouldn’t care
oops I ment A
My Buenos aires querido.
Death cannot be that bad.
i know this will make me sound insane, but i’d almost be excited to wear option a. it would look ridiculous, but i think it would feel kinda cool -like a big pillow. showing the leg would keep it from being to over the top ( i know, i can’t believe i’m saying this) ..but with some floofy, teased hair and glamourous make-up….it would be kinda fun to prance around town in!
I pick A. It actually resembles to one of traditional carneval mascots called Kurent from my country (I’m from Slovenia).
*mask
I think I’ll go for A.
And then sit near the bushes. I’ll blend in perfectly.
I’d wear A, it’s hideous, but I have both my arms, and after having been up the whole night, it looks like the better option to fall asleep in.
(My brain doesn’t function that well at 7 am it seems)
Why…
Oh my.
I would go for Option A.
It looks kind of funny, the other one is a failed attempt at making mussels fashionable.
easy.
i pick die.
i wouldnt be caught dead in either one of these. Who designed these… things? (i dont want to call them dresses)
is it just me , or does option B look like an over aged taco? *flinch*
I think I’ll go for ‘die’.
