# Fashion Show Spoofs Westood's Gypsy in McQueen's Mankini By mediterranean | Published 2008-06-30 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gypsy-in-mankini References: [prettyontheoutside.typepad](http://prettyontheoutside.typepad.com/gilmore/2008/06/meet-teddy-the.html) The talented artist at **Pretty on The Outside** has created an artistic spoof of Milan's menswear shows. He dresses Vivienne Westwood's now infamous, [beefy male model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kody-phillips) from her controversial gypsy show with questionable creations from the likes of Alexander McQueen and Thom Browne. Teddy, the fashion bear, is dressed in [McQueen's mankini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025), the fantastically weird take on Borat's bright swimsuit. Teddy also changes into a rather hideous butler-esque outfit created by Thom Browne. I think Teddy might have a blossoming fashion career ahead of him.
