Rex,
I was surprised to read that the store had sold out of the Dries Van Noten 'kilts' because, normally, garments such as these do not reach the stores. As with women's fashion shows, much of what appears on the catwalks has been created simply to catch the eyes of fashion photographers and fashion editors - most is simply not suited to being worn in 'the real world'!
The photos of those outrageous outfits get splashed across the front pages of the papers and magazines, and the designers thereby achieve the publicity they work so hard to get.
Almost every year, for a number of years, at least one designer puts a few 'kilts' into his/her Men's Collection - Jean Paul Gautier, the French designer who often wore one of his own 'kilts', started the trend in the 1980s, I believe.
Not even my 'Kollection' would give house-room to one of those 'items' shown in the photos you posted!
Take care,
Ham.
