Joseph Nicolosi, co-founder of the “ex-gay” therapy group NARTH  (National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality) is dead at 70.

This is an all-too intimate glimpse of what just went down at a runway show for Comme Des Garçons’ Fall 2017 collection, with Rei Kawakubo’s creations generously described by W as an exploration of “silhouette, via bulbous, amoeba-shaped garments.”

The models have either been sternly instructed to look airy and confused as they stumble aimlessly down the catwalk like they’re collecting airborne pieces of lint, or they’re genuinely as bewildered as the rest of us.

Perhaps our tastes simply aren’t refined enough. As one Facebook fashion scion writes in the comments:

“It’s called wearable art. It is certainly not intended to function as actual clothing. Just enjoy the show.”

The counterpoint argument comes in various shades of:
