She's at it again. She of the Tartan Wad that inspired my haiku.

Rei Kawakubo, under the label Comme des Garçons, presents:

The "Shilt"

That would be the combination Shorts-Kilt, like "skorts," the skirt-shorts chimera. (Remember what a hit those were?)





OK, now gentlemen...

We can have a nice, academic discussion about the influence of the traditional highland garment on modern apparel or we can all pile on and say how much we hate it and all runway fashion.

It really is the marriage of the traditional kilt with the Utilikilt modesty sna....






Oh, who am I kidding?

I'll be the first to admit: I think it looks like shilt.

Regards from the front row of the runways,
Rex.
