Recently fashion blog Man Repeller posted a series of comical fashion pun illustrations that turn famous sayings from the design world into hilarious comical sketches.
Author and blogger Leandra Medine created Man Repeller as a comical website that discusses up-to-date fashion movements. These watercolor fashion pun illustrations are a great read for anyone that thinks some of the names of fashion styles and clothing items are a bit, well, ridiculous. One illustration that is extremely relevant pokes fun at the crop top with an illustration of a cropped halter top made entirely from yellow and green corn stalks. Another sketch turns a pair of pink platform shoes into social media platforms by covering the heels in logos from several famous social media sites frequently used in the fashion world.
