London Men's Fall 2014 Collections Are Bonkers, and These 10 Looks are Proof
Remember when men's fashion never really changed? While women bounced from hot pants to maxi skirts, dudes were pretty much wearing the same thing for decades: jeans and t-shirts; three-button suits and collared shirts; the occasional handkerchief tucked politely into a breast pocket.
Not anymore, ladies. If the runway shows of this week's London Collections: Men are any indication of the winds of change, men are about to surpass us in the avant garde fashion department. We thought women's runway fashion was crazy? We had no idea.

Burberry Prorsum
This is sort of what I imagine Stanley Kowalski would wear on a night out to Studio 54, if that sort of thing ever happened. (The coat is stolen — one of Blanche DuBois’ old furs, I assume.)

E. Tautz
This outfit is very proper and gentlemanly and looks exactly like something Jack the Ripper would wear while following you down a dark London alleyway.

JW Anderson

The Eary show was rated R for intensely terrifying, serial killer-inspired images.

More stuff of nightmares: white face paint and ghost-worthy outerwear.

Nasir Mazhar
There’s just something so uncomfortable about the pairing of boxers and gas masks.

Richard Nicoll
Props to Richard Nicoll for attempting to bring back the ruffled ’70s disco shirt, but the interpretation is far too literal.

Sibling
I guess this is a cozy look to slip into after a vigorous game of soccer. But did he have to steal Grandma’s favorite quilt?

Xander Zhou
The cool extremism of this coat is completely ruined by the most horrifying item of clothing we’ve seen in decades: squeaky clean, white sneakers.
