Acid-Tripping Attire

Chris Benz's Bizarrely Beautiful Beetle-Esque Fashions

Upon first glance, designer Chris Benz's Spring 2010 Fashion Week collection evokes images “where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies” and of “girls with kaleidoscope eyes" thanks to Beetle-esque, acid tripping attire.

Bizarre, beautiful, and only for boldly-courageous dressers, Chris Benz's acid tripping attire drips with cotton candy-esque feather poufs. Glitterball sequins are an aesthetically pleasing and refreshing delight, even for one who would not necessarily don his outrageous collection.

Implications - Current fashion trends encourage consumers to flaunt their individual styles rather than conforming to the crowd. These customers seek items that are unique for their atypical designs and rarity. Companies can cater to fashionable demographics by manufacturing fashions in limited quantities and that boast bold designs.
