Tennis Clown Fashion - Thom Browne's Silly S/S 2009 Collection (GALLERY)

Now if the people attending the Thom Browne’s Spring/Summer 2009 runway show can’t keep a straight face, how am I supposed to write this up as a serious post?

Look at these tennis-inspired outfits, costumes, clownwear or whatever you want to call them. No, they are serious! For realz.

“The checkerboard train on a racquet-embroidered coat, the gangsta-style low-slung shorts, the endlessly reiterated waders, and—the coup de grâce—the giant tutu that closed the show,” Style.com said. “They all whiffed of Thom’s ongoing Barnum and Bailey assault on masculine convention.”

Check out the models - they have the “model scowl,” otherwise there would be big wet spots on the front because they peed themselves from laughing.

No, REALLY!
