  • Fashion has become more of a modern art form than stuff you'd actually wear. That's why it's so ridiculous.

  • There's an important distinction between style and fashion. People who mindlessly follow fashion without any sense of personal style imitate the outfits shown in this video. This is tacky. Fashion is about flaunting your wealth by showing that you can afford to buy new clothes as frequently as trends are changed. Notice that something becomes "out of style" when it becomes attainable to the lower classes and is sold at a store like WalMart. Style is about originality. Wear what you like.

  • This is why i hate it too.

  • First time saying this, pleas just shut up chenk, it a matter of taste.

  • Okay, I understand Cenk's mentality...he's a dude guy. But, seriously? Pausing at the (admittedly hot) see-through flower dress...I mean. It's just not classy. How is this moving the dialogue forward?

  • I'm with Cenk on the helmet thing: if the point of modeling is to sell the clothes (as a product), and the point of fashion design shows is to admire the clothes (as art), then why would you put something on your model that deliberately distracts people from looking at the clothes?

  • @upabittoolate You are a Moron. Now I know why youare so lame. You get your facts from TyT

  • Could this be the first time TYT has used the phrase "avant-garde?"

  • TYT Network seems to have increased their commercial frequency.

  • 0:41 WTF IS SHE CLIMBING OUT THE CENTER OF THE ILLUMINATI LOL

  • The moment I saw the first picture, I knew this was going to be gold. Adam Carolla would be proud of that rant.

  • The fashion houses create themes to differentiate themselves during Fashion Week, but the key is that they tie these themes to distinct details of their brand for consumer recognition through exaggerated accents - the helmet may emphasize and associate with the metallic on the dress; a detail the house may be pushing that season; the high hats may emphasize a long, lean silhouette. They'll emphasize things like colors, texture, dress lengths, types of prints, textures, etc. for impact.

  • Great feelgood video.I live with Ana, but take sides with Cenk.

  • fashion is whoreable

  • lol....its lady gaga all over for cenk....hahahaha

  • 0:47

    I like how they have the asian girl in all yellow.

    Totally not racist at all.

  • @PIXELEDsamm what asian people cant wear fucking yellow now. Jesus christ ffs why do people over racism everything

  • @Zaxomio Just saying, it kind of looks bad when they even paint her face yellow.

  • I agree with Cenk, end of this.

  • Couture is not to be worn anyway

  • Copying Lady Gaga are you fucking kidding me? Fashion has always been over the top, who do you think designs her costumes? She can't even write her own song let alone make a dress, her and her shitty pop songs can go fuck off. It takes alot of skills to stitch intricate designs which from close look absolutely stunning, designers often take months on end on a particular dress. Although it can sometimes be hard to understand why and it can get a bit pretentious, it's still an art form.

  • Your done - fartor.

  • The NFL and fashion are both stupid and have no value other than pointless entertainment

  • I agree with both of them. Both the NFL and fashion are done. Fuck 'em.

  • Id buy tht black short black on IN A HEART BEAT. And yeah, tht motorcycle one id wear whn im on my hog. Screw u cenk :)

  • i think its cool

  • I'd like to see someone try to defend fashion. Seriously. I say this, as someone who is interested in art, and because of how little art is involved in the process. "It's about expression," no. It's the "how ridiculous can we be" campeign.

  • Who is actually going to buy this shit?

  • @heywazzup28

    NO person in their RIGHT mind would buy this LUDICROUS crap.

  • Cenk is right! fashion is stupid as shit.

    /watch?v=vF12rS6w25M

    Right out of the horse's mouth.

  • I love the flower dress sooooo much :D

  • It's art not fashion. And it still sucks balls.

  • the way i see it is that mainstream designers can be inspired by the over-the-top designs and translate them into much more wearable outfits for day-to-day or night.

  • It's just artistic expression. I don't really care for it, but if someone enjoys that kind of stuff, good for them.

  • I'm sorry but to enjoy the charade of Professional sport's and know ART is just plain stupid.

    Youre going to knock peoples ART when "Are you ready for some Football!" is considered normal. My God the rednecks are truly taking over. They've got the right wing and now they want to kill college and ART.

    Can you even imagine how bad Hank Williams Jr. smells after he's been drinking all night? And these people judge ART?

    Cenk you're literally a idiot about art.

  • Cenk knows as much about art as most redneck's do.

  • Lol this vid is great art is gay so is fasion

  • @seanwue Do you like music? Because that is art, do you like Cars? Beutifull houses? Tuxedoes and other fanzy clothing? Mona Lisa? Monet?

    All art. Just something no one can't live without i think.

  • LOL Cenk is Hilarious. 

  • Clearly they don't understand art. Learn to appreciate art you stupid fucks. I dislike fashion as a form of art, but that's what it is.

  • The main objection is they encourage anorexia.

  • @telephilia

    These same people who call this 'fashion' and think that they have 'taste' also worship the beauty of the models,.......and espouse it to the world,......right before the young ladies fall over DEAD OF STARVATION ON A RUNWAY.

    LITERALLY,......FALL OVER DEAD,........ON A 'FASHION' RUNWAY,.....FROM STARVATION.

    These people have NO TASTE,.....they are just mindless followers,...who COMPLETELY LACK REASON, APPEAL, and COMMON SENSE.

  • No, no I hear you. The flip side is...they're done. LOL Cenk love ya man

  • 1:30 should be the thumbnail O.O

  • Fashion: ridiculous hats to entertain people who are into it

    Football: risk of serious injuries to entertain people who are into it

  • As much as I don't give a shit about fashion, people should know a bit about what they're criticising to prevent sounding ignorant.

  • "No no no, hear you. The flip side is...they'er done." hahahaha

  • There is a correlation between fashion/celebrity and fame fanatics and DEPRESSION Ana there is not the same relationship between sport fanaticism and depression. The whole industry is misogynistic... You want to look great girls? Get down the gym! - you can wear rags if you have a great figure and guys will spot it - hell dressing down also makes you more human and approachable as well - unless you are a snob looking for a rich high status male of course, who will cheat on you and

  • @StunnedByStupidity dump you snooty ass the moment you show your first wrinkle...

  • I'm fine with the helmet dress chick....

  • No, no, no, I hear you, the flip side is their dumb. 

  • I love you guys...but I don't think TYT understands the difference between high street fashion which is what people actually wear and haute-couture which is meant to be experimental...and from those experiments we gain possible ideas for future fashion.

  • @DrAmorphos ... thank you for your comment, agreed.

  • @DrAmorphos same goes for a lot of people. It's not that different from concept cars. What they come up with is not what is sold in the average car dealership.

  • @DrAmorphos

    Then they should keep their FRAKENSTEIN science 'EXPERIMENTS' in a lab,.....and call it what it ACTUALLY is,.....HALLOWEEN COSTUMES.

    These people who make this outrageous crap need to remove the word FASHION from their vocabulary. It is soooo NOT.

  • @rainbo5250 the catwalk is the lab douche bag....or at least the show room.

  • @DrAmorphos

    The ONLY douche-bag here,....is someone who thinks this INSANE GARBAGE is anything other than,...... INSANE GARBAGE.

    You would have to be a mental health patient, to have any desire to wear this circus crap. You are either BLIND, RETARDED, or ON DRUGS,....if you think this putrid FREAK SHOW, is fashion.

  • @rainbo5250 DID I SAY I wanted to wear the clothes you REACTIONARY KNEE-JERKING FUCKTARD...I said the CLOTHES are like CONCEPTS...you don't drive concept cars around in the street do you, but it DOESN'T MEAN they are not an interesting EXPERIMENT.

    If people DIDN'T experiment with styles, you'd still be dressed like a PURITAN out of THE CRUCIBLE or the AMISH...maybe you are Amish I dunno...But take a CHILL PILL. FASHION, just like BEAUTY, is in the eye of the beholder...so don't be a FASCIST!

  • @DrAmorphos

    What a foul and DISGUSTING mouth you have. Your mother must be proud,....or were you raised in a trash can?

    STOP comparing CLOTHES to CARS!

    Do you compair the food you eat to the couch you sit on?

    Two seperate things,...look it up,...one is under 'A' for attire,....the other is under 'C' for car.

    The Amish look just fine,....in fact they are far more appealing and acceptable than the Halloween costumes in this FREAK SHOW, that nothing but mindless followers attend.

  • @rainbo5250 OK...this CONVERSATION is OVER because you are obviously an IDIOT and a PHILISTINE. GOOD-DAY..........PRICK.

    And don't bother saying 'ohhhhh, got nothing else to say so you run away'...I can just see that your idea of LOGIC is irreparably skewed and your appreciation of ART is PRIMITIVE by your own admitted admiration of the Amish. p.s I was raised in a private school and I'm now a barrister...so FUCK YOU.

  • @DrAmorphos

    Like I believe a word you say, you foul mouthed piece of trash.

    Just in case you are not lying through your teeth (fat chance),....then I hope you have SOMEONE ELSE pick out your clothes,.......because if you are walking around looking like these FREAKS,......you will NEVER get a client.

    Well,......maybe Ringling Brothers & Barnum Bailey Circus.

  • Sure... fashion conceals our inherent self loathing and is more than necessary. Without fashion allowing us to alter the perception of ourselves the world might be that much more unbearable.

  • Tell me the 1st one doesnt look like a Power Ranger?

  • Hey dude, I do not like or understand this fashion showes ether, but I feel I have to be blunt about saying this, althougth I like you guys and your show, but dude, please just shut up and go watch sports, you don't know what you are talking about and so just don't go there. And also that girl in that pink flower dress, What Up, high five dude. You guys rule. And I personally would love to see you do a peace about fashion, but get to know what you are talking about first, or you lose my respect.

  • Morons with too much money

  • @isaveu

    Don't forget POOR VISION,......and lack of COMMON SENSE.

  • Art is very abstract and has different meaning but, WHAT DEEP THEORY MEANING DO YOU GET FROM A LADY IN A DRESS WITH A DAFTPUNK HELMET ON!?

  • Where is the rest of the outfit for these ladies,.......like the red, size 17 shoes, with stars all over them,........and the BIG, ROUND, RED NOSE?

  • Go get 'em Ana!

    

  • It makes you wonder,.....does the 'fashion show' start out with the girls climbing out of a CLOWN CAR?

  • These 'fashion shows' are for the mentally ill,.....because NO ONE IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD WEAR THIS HIDEOUS CRAP!

    I have thrown up in a massive pile, and it was more attractive, symmetrical, and harmonizing than what these fools walk down the 'fashion isle' in.

    GROSS,....I know,....but true.

    This CRAP, is in NO way,......fashion. It is an example of someone with a sewing machine, who is on a LSD trip.

  • Its just art. Nobody really wears this stuff.

  • Love the dress, helmet wtf??

  • 0:18 Some say, she designed Lady Gaga's waredrobe, and that she once wore a dress made of her own fingernails. All we know is, she is not the Stig, but she is the Stig's modelling cousin.

  • The Victoria Secret Fashion show is as ridiculous as any picture you show. A woman wearing underwear worth millions of dollars? And all of them have wings? Unless redbull really gives people wings then the VSFS is ridiculous.

    What if the VSFS decided to do a motorbike theme? What now?

  • Gotta agree with Cenk here the see through outfit was nice (on the right person) but the helmet along with a few others were totally out of line

  • I like it when a piece of cloathing has some sort of a meaning, but if you're just doing it to be over the top, it stops being interesting. I feel that way about art as well. If you throw a turd on a table and say it's a masterpiece that masterpiece is going right back up your ass.

  • Fashion is art that walks around, Cenk doesn't walk into a museum and tell the art that it's 'too weird' ... or maybe he does :)

  • I actually feel bad for the poor souls that have to wear those ridiculous outfits!!

  • Sports have never pushed society as a whole forward, but science and the arts have. Yet we give money to those who play children,s games and not to philosophers, poets and scientists. Imagine if Socrates, and da Vinci had not done what they had, but threw or kicked balls around instead.

  • Isn't the purpose of modeling supposed to be to show off your new products so thousands of people can buy them?? What kind of market is there out there for shit like this? Maybe 1? 2 people? How is that sustainable businesswise?

  • Anna looks like she wants Cenk to disappear.

  • Ok.. you went through all this hard work and spent thousands of dollars designing these hideous clothes.. now here comes the most important question..

    WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO BUY THAT SHIT??

  • Thats not.. a motorcycle helmet... ITS DAFT PUNK

  • Fashion must die. It is a wasteful trend.

  • im sick of that kid saying ba bling da bling

  • Actually, with that first one, I could imagine people stepping out on the town from their hypersonic motocycles or from their personal hovercraft or taking off their Martin Jetpacks.

  • lady gaga has designers, on Ellen, Ellen points out random outfits, lady gaga admits she didn't make any of them

  • they are both done! fashion and NFL

  • It's called "haute couture," it's a form of fine art... some of these designers are the taste-makers for the aesthetics you eventually end up taking for granted. Luckily for Cenk, our society is fairly adept at crushing free-thinkers are artists. Enjoy your robot life.

  • Here's why fashion sucks: Some girl gets 50,000 views in one day telling other girls how to wear MAC makeup, while a man giving tips on attracting women without depending on your looks barely gets any recognition. People are so superficial.

  • @ccricers That's like saying all sports suck because US highschoolers place priority on football over education. I think it's very idiotic and superficial to define a broad concept with ill informed pop culturalized political/social agenda. To me, fashion is an understated medium of artistic expression. These fashion shows aren't just for flash and glamour, many of the try to show technical and creative achievement in design and textiles.

  • @ccricers  I'm not saying they go as intensively as people in the field of architecture or chemical engineering but there's a lot more work put into fashion shows or any other kind of art pieces than many people would first handedly think.

  • @ccricers Makes perfect sense. Wearing makeup is a simple teachable skill. "Attracting women" isn't a skill a video can teach you. You need to leave the house for that.

  • It's art, not fashion. It's not that hard to understand.

  • Cenk is right Ana is wrong

  • I hate fashion... but having style is kinda important.

  • There is a difference between artsy and just plain weird. Though how one defines the two are a matter of perspective.

  • 1:27 can't complain

  • Cenk, there's a reason all those models look unhappy.

  • Also at 1:27, I love the person taking a photo of her with their iPhone. She knows she's gonna get fapped to...

  • Comment removed

  • 0:20 cue the empire theme

  • I would not wear any of those

  • @Xeginy Just like most forms of art it's full of people that justify their lack of talent with pretentious views.

  • @xbertocoaylax just having fun with clothes? I hope you are joking.

  • Fashion always gets a free pass while expressive art gets pissed on by government and the media as "pointless" or "worthless" or elitist". And THIS fucking isn't!?!

    Fuck that! Put down the issue of Vogue and go to the local gallery and support real art!

  • Cenk's fashion rants are the best. Can this be a weekly thing please.

  • Comment removed

  • The thing is I love art and paintings but modern art is full of bullshit that a five year old could do. infact they did a documentary about just that. A five year messing with paint on a canvas and a bunch of critics trying to see meaning in it.

  • On title alone I agree with cenk 100%

  • Anna should wear a helmet for the next show to cool off someone's balls

  • Its cool to hate.  btw cenk is right again:D helmet was ower the top

  • Cenk, as much as I appreciate your videos about politics, sometimes you're a friggin idiot. Copying Lady Gaga? Can you guys be any more ignorant? I don't get people who diss whatever they don't understand. I can't watch any more of you for awhile. You're done.

  • @xensor are you nuts?

  • @amad0c Ok, what was it in my comment that makes you ask that? The "you're done" part, I hope. I just can't get over how clued-in Cenk appears when it comes to politics, and how clueless he is when it comes to art or fashion. I guess we all have our strengths. The things is, TYT has a following, and spewing ignorance on a grand scale makes me sick - if that's nuts, I'm nuts. You think Cenk wouldn't mock that Ruto quote you put on your Youtube homepage as being nutty? Of coooooourse.

  • @xensor u really made some effort responding to a meaningless comment on your own meaningless comment by an anonymous inet user u dont even know. fair enough so i'll also reply more detailed to return the honour. first of all i didnt "put the ruto quote up", i liked the video for its music and the text automatically comes along with it because its in the videodescription. second of all i actually agree with what it says - thats the beauty of it. thirdly, cenk IS in fact ignorant when it comes

  • @amad0c to some topics such as psychology or philosophy or different economic systems as well, etc.. what makes me ask you whether ur nuts or not is the fact that from your comment i can conclude that you r a regular TYT watcher and u usually like the stuff u see, including cenks opinions on politics and so on and now you say you "CANT watch" tyt for some time and "they're DONE" just for the fact that they dont care about fashion? who gives a flying fuck? fashion is so annoying and unimportant

  • @amad0c You mean 'Insignificant', not 'meaningless', I think. You also agree with me that people shouldn't always judge before they understand something, or you might not have been so defensive about how that Ruto quote got on your homepage (it's a good quote, btw). Maybe it's Cenk's humor. Often humor walks a fine line between healthy auto-derision that promotes awareness (win), and what I would describe as unhealthy mockery that promotes divisiveness, ignorance, and intolerance (fail).

  • @xensor well yeah then i mean insignificant. engl isnt my mother language but im always tryin to become better at it so thx for that, buddy. sure ppl shouldnt judge before they understand but not only is it common practice (i understnd that a host should be judged by higher standards) but also entirely >insignificant< regarding this topic so there was no reason for "not being able to see tyt anymore" or whatever. but yoo who cares this whole debate is pretty.. uhm.. insignificant ;P best regards

  • @amad0c I've learned that creative expression in visual aesthetics represents more than something meant to catch the eye or show status. Whether you find it in art, architecture, or fashion, it helps remind us that the constructs we have can be reimagined, just as math teaches logic. It imbues our thinking, and by extension our choices and actions, with a spirit of openness to alternatives, as opposed to maintaining the status quo. That's what I understand. So to me it's not unimportant.

  • @xensor this is no reason to react that way AT ALL. besides.. i think he was right with everything he said in this video. the lady gaga part set aside - but again, who CARES. ps.: "of cooooouuurrseee" cenk would make fun of the ruto quote but in opposite to you, i dont take such childish behaviour personally. this is just him. it probably wouldnt fit the rest of his personality if he would agree on that quote. but i dont have to agree with s.o. on everything in order to watch their show. so bye!

  • @amad0c I would hope you understand my reasons a little better now, at least, even if you don't agree with me. I don't take what Cenk says personally. I don't expect you would either. Although when asked directly "Are you nuts?", one might take it a little more personally, lol. I'm thinking about the bigger picture. Cenk has a huge audience. It comes with huge responsibility. I like him, and I want him to live up to what I believe he stands for. Who knows? Maybe I'll resubscribe one day.

  • I think that the reason Cenk doesnt like fashion, is the thing that Ana hit on, he doesnt like art.

    I bet he would have a terrible time going around the Guggenheim in New York or the Pompidou. With all this modern art, and seeing any value in it.

    There is a great quotation that i just remembered and i agree with, "Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time" Jean Cocteau

  • @rorrt I I couldn't find that quote in Jean's original French. I don't imagine he was talking about high fashion, or the fashion industry, though. It was more likely his poetic way of differentiating passing trends vs eternal truths expressed through art. His use of "ugly" could be another way of saying "inappropriate". 18th century fashion, for example, isn't ugly. One of his quotes about fashion that I did find in French is "Fashion dies young. That's what makes its levity so serious."

  • @xensor

    I agree. I think my quotation, or rather Jean's was used out of context for this argument.

    But i do believe that in this argument, Cenk fails to see the value of this "high fashion". I think he fails to see that the high fashion is as valid an art form as art that hangs in an art gallery.

    And i think the fashion of the 18th century and its "ugliness" is relevant. I mean when Yve Saint Lauren first came out with the trouser suit, is was laughed off. And how wrong those critiques were...

  • Avant-Garde is not meant to be worn as regular clothing per se its more like a moving canvas... i don't see what the big deal is, if you don't like it don't watch it and avante-garde has been around before lady gaga was born...so no she is influenced by avante-garde maybe.

  • "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."- Oscar Wilde.

  • @chegvra well put, sir!

  • I think the reason for the weirdness is bringing out the essence of their new clothes. It can also be symbolic of course. What's nice about fashion is the way some colours and fabrics go well together, and some don't. It's art. What's stupid thing about it is trends and brands and all that.

  • 1:28, yes- I agree with Cenk, I can get behind this, under, in front, upside down, sideways...

  • Oh Cenk... just let it go.

  • C'mon people it's 2012.. Why isn't everything like it was in the movie 5th Element?!

  • You guys bitch too much.

  • lmao when cenk said "now hold" I was like THANK YOU!

  • That pedestrian helmet looks as stupid as a cycling helmet.

  • Did anybody else pause @ 1:25?

  • Anyone else catch the Poison Ivy dress?

  • Those are the Goofiest looking bitches I have ever seen.

  • It's funny how conservative TYT are when it comes to anything other than politics...

  • "This is why I hate fashion"

    Because Cenk is a simpleton and a philistine in many respects. Ana is 100% correct with her football analogy.

  • They're both right. NFL and fashion are both dumb.

  • @CommandoDude roundhouse kick!

  • I totally needed Cenk's verdict on "fashion" for the 100th time. Save your bit about how I shouldn't have watched the video, you're totally right.

  • lol!

  • NFL doesn't have value. And neither does fashion.

  • I'm firmly in the column of "Who gives a fuck?"

  • Lol...

  • For the most open-minded man in America, he sure seems a bit... Narrow minded?

  • @tamc1337 Open minded means youll try something or youre open to things, it doesnt mean youll accept it.

  • It's perhaps similar to concept cars at a car show- the designers allow themselves to think big, be silly/extravagant/not functional, and from that creative outlet perhaps come elements that make it into marketable, mass-producible, functional products.

  • It's Gort!

  • @TheYoungTurks, Disappointing... This neither news nor opinions worthy? What happen to TYT ? Becoming an opinionated newscasters ? A suggestion: Next time add a tag (eg. [fun facts] or [my rant]) on your video title so viewers can choose which videos to ignore.

  • @ahantu

    They've always run fluff pieces, so I'm not sure who you're trying to convince with your "what has become of you" soliloquy.

  • Real men don't care about fashion. I am fine with a naked woman

  • @davidi3002

    I hear you brother :)

  • @davidi3002 i need her to start off with some skimpy panties to rip off

  • what does Anna like? Synchronized swimming?

  • its fucking decadence

    disgusting

    where is al quaida when u need them

    blow those fuckers up

  • I don't think the pictures do justice to the experience of being there. They are weird outfits, certainly, but it's to display the decadence; they aren't meant to be everyday fashionware, but an artistic display that is beyond the normal fashion show notion of covering up your body stylishly.

  • grandpa rickk over here thinks they are copying gaga? what a fail!
