High Fashion Cartoons

Pacman and Mickey Mouse on London and Madrid Fashion Week Runways

Some crazy fashions were captured on camera during London and Madrid Fashion Week—from models donning Pacman helmets to those accessorized with Mickey Mouse Ears.

So much for beautiful and glamorous, no? Seeing Pacman and Pacman ghost helmets on models, big and huge Mickey Mouse type ears on a model (that looks as though she just woke up), makes me think that these are fashion shows for Halloween.

The bow on the satin-dress looks like it should be wrapped around a car intended as a gift. Not only that, but heaven forbid someone actually wore that outfit—when they turned around in a room, people would be hit in the face.

Regardless of the craziness, any of these would make interesting and unique attire to wear at a Halloween or Costume party.
