Creativity is King

I’m glad I am able to make this post early on…I was worried it was gonna be a while before anything like this would come up. So here’s the deal:

We here at CiK have our limits. There is creativity. And creativity is good.

And then there is weird and stupid shit for the sake of being weird and stupid. And the following examples of a Tokyo-based clothing brand called Ethosens are just perfect examples of when “creativity” crosses so far over the line that it just ends up being embarrassing.

The following are pictures from the Fall/Winter line of Ethosens.

I’m not sure what’s going on in this picture. This is college dorm loungewear. This is what people wear to go pick up their mail in the middle of January. Since when did Japanese high fashion involve sweaters and pajama pants? (Seriously…I don’t know. Email me if you do.) And what the mothereff is up with that pose the dude is making? Anyone posing like that should be holding a bottle of Captain Morgan. We are off to a bad start, my friends.

At first I thought this was some sort of weird patterned sweatsuit…and then I came to the conclusion these are definitely pajamas. I mean…you couldn’t wear something like that outside of the comfort of your own home, right? If they’re pajamas, then this outfit makes sense. Think of Spongebob in place of the purple and grey square and rectangles and you’ll get the idea. (Btw…is he doing the robot?)

All right, listen up you Cillian Murphy-looking douchebag…stop doing weird things with your arms and elbows…you’re creeping everyone out. Speaking of creeping people out, if I saw someone wearing this on the street, I would legitimately question their sanity. A cardigan that goes down to your mid-thighs. Zipaway windpants with the legs taken off (those are zipaway windpants, are they not?). Some type of velour navy sweatpants. Black dress shoes.

Unless you were blind. If you were actually blind, I wouldn’t question your sanity.

Zipaway windpants part 2. It now appears that if you buy several pairs of zipaway windpants from Ethosens, you can combine different leg colors with different short colors. What a revolutionary concept. I am pretty sure that you could do such a thing with any zipaway windpants that have ever been sold in more than one color. Outside of the incredibly faggy-looking lower legs, this is the only actual outfit I feel like might be wearable. +5 for the regular model pose.

On first glance, I thought to myself, “Oh that’s not such a crazy cardigan.” And then I realized it’s not a cardigan. It’s a regular sweater with buttons added on to make it look like a cardigan. Now, I could see if this was a sweater made for pregnant women and the buttons unbuttoned to reveal a hole for breastfeeding. But that apparently is not the case. Also…THE MULTICOLORED PANTS HAVE GOT TO STOP.

Sweet glasses, you hipster-fuck Cillian Murphy lookalike. Suspenders are incredibly lame. Glasses when you don’t need them? Lamer. But the lamest thing ever? Wearing those godawful, piece-of-shit yellow pants.

A male version of those female bathrobe-looking sweater coats chicks wore all the time in 2001-2002. This one is obviously missing it’s rope, but I’m sure that’ll be included at some point.

Sweet cumberbund, you skinny-ass emo Cillian Murphy piece of shit.

Hating concluded. Enjoy your day.
