Wear or Die: Buenos Aires Fashion Week edition

Spl79780 001[1] 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?

  1. 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?

  2. 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?

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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 :D I’d say I was promoting a new Ed Wood documentary.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. I’d wear A – Attacked by the ruffle monster. It looks slightly more comfortable than being eaten by a giant clam.

  9. B because at least the material’s quite nice, and I won’t be getting any Nora Batty comments about the tights…

  10. 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!

  11. 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)

  12. 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)
