Russell Barratt must have the most outlandish imagination in all of the fashion world -- either that or he is clinically insane. With a mixture of what looks like giant fabric chains, carpet samples and neon makeup, the Maiden Britain Winter 2009 accessory line looks more like a wardrobe for Cirque De Soleil than an actual fashion collection.
After looking at the Maiden Britain Winter 2009 lineup, you have to wonder what is going through Barratt's head when he comes up like designs like these. I think Mr. Barratt should go work for Hollywood because these outfits would be right at home in a Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam film.
