Agreed, Maelstrom. Although I think now I understand runway fashion. Ever been to an international auto show (that is, the format that has all the new models), and seen concept cars? Those are just that: cars that exhibit conceptual bodywork, interior, engines, or whatever.
So, runway models are essentially, from what I can understand, doing the same thing. Exhibiting maybe some color combos, patterns, textures, or whatever else, that would not make sense to go into production as a whole, but could be used to inspire the next season's clothing that you do see at a Target or a Abercrombie or wherever you all shop.
Still looks weird, though, as do concept cars.
