Fashion show or fancy dress competition?

Last updated on: November 17, 2016 16:32 IST

The fashion police has already started complaining about these looks.

Ever witnessed fashion that can cause an eye sore?

Or make you scratch your head and wonder what was the fashion designer actually thinking when s/he designed the hideous outfit? 

The recently concluded Vietnam International Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 had some bizzare moments.

If only the runway was a slate, we'd love to erase these outfits from it.  

1. The burkini gone awry

2. Is this what's called 'to nip it in the bud'?

3. Made of steel

Look at those shoes, they're scary as hell. The model better be careful or else she may have her head chewed off by that metal stole wrapped around her neck. 

4. The attack of the fur balls

5. Pious or lethal?

6. Wait a minute! That's a woman's costume!

IMAGE: Looks like this male model was actually hunting for his clothes, when he got clicked by photographers in this tierred maxi with a pink jacket. There's nothing wrong with this outfit from the Atelier Chardon Savard collection, except that it's meant to be worn by a woman. 

7. Chinese lamp on the ramp :)

IMAGE: Is that a barrel on the stage? No wait, it's a Chinese lamp. Through his collection, designer Dinh Van Tho tried to acquaint the audience with traditional life in Vietnam. But this one has creative disaster written all over it. 

8. Red alert
