Fashion has always been a bit strange and unusual. Artists and fashion creators were always trying to find the strangest and most original expression and new ways to shock the public.

This wacky trend was shown at the Viktor and Rolf Spring 2010 Collection. Dresses made of tulle with sections hacked out by a chainsaw! Of course Katy Perry is the only one who would wear such a dress to an awards show.
19. Hunters (and the Hunted)
There’s something romantic about the country, especially when fashion designers show their interpretations of what you’re supposed to wear. However, we’re not even sure Elmer Fudd would be interested in this get-up by Carolina Herrera.

2. Dummy Suit
Look what we have here, designers get weirder by the day; meet trends that will –hopefully– never leave the catwalk. the girl wears a dummy and applauses the audience in Dubai Fashion Week 2009.
1. The Condom Dress
The XVI International Aids Conference has just wrapped up in Toronto and a visual highlight for delegates were ten of Adriana Bertini’s condom dresses. The Brazilian artist started creating fashions out of condoms to highlight the need to look at the prophylactics as basics, so that we would don them as easily as a pair of jeans. Some of her dresses use thousands of condoms; one wedding dress took almost 80,000 (and to think, some people hesitate over using just one!). The condoms that Bertini uses are either defective or past their best by date.
