How to Look Crazy Real Fast: Bedrock Fashion Week

In all seriousness, or as much as one could possible muster while creating a straight-up Flinstones-inspired collection, Jeremy Scott sent this down the runway at London Fashion week. All the looks were complemented by leather fingerless gloves (for working at the quarry?), black claw-like nails, and bones as hair accessories. Opening with a traditional shapeless cave lady frock, the show progressed to more tailored items, including leather jackets and mini dresses bedecked in saber tooth tiger-esque prints and exaggerated ragged edges. You couldn't help but feel as though Fred and Wilma must have moved to a rather questionable cave in the East Village in the 90s.

Even the models look pissed at what must have been at the worst, obvious snickering and looks of horror, or at best, amused bewilderment from the audience. There was no visible attempt at masking or reinterpreting the animated inspiration for the line. The high point was most definitely a rather burly man model wearing a one-shouldered, speedo and high tops, leaving the “Your Cave or Mine” graphic tee as it’s design antithesis. It doesn’t get much more low brow than a prehistoric sexual pun emblazoned across your cotton tee.
