Pete Alonso Polar Bear shirt

While the obvious inclination Pete Alonso Polar Bear shirt .Is to label the designer a fashionable oddball or outlier, this kitschy foray into fromage wasn’t the strangest thing on the runways; comical couture dominated the spring season. Fashion, it would seem, has a new sense of humour. For many of Mark’s campy compadres, this wasn’t a stretch and led to bigger and bolder creations. Satirical label Moschino took its garments back to kindergarten, with juvenile prints and plush “lamb” handbags. Schiaparelli floated umbrella hats and inflatable parkas. Loewe’s exquisitely eclectic heels took inspiration from birthday candles and bars of soap. And Comme des Garçons did its best Zoolander “Derelicte” impression, with couture crafted from trash bags. For other less-comically-inclined designers, this trend injected new energy and dynamism into their designs. Burberry paired tan trench coats with oversized elf ears. Models at MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela donned literal checkerboards and spiderwebs. Even Givenchy, known for its urban elegance, presented handbags that were part jack-o’-lantern, part basketball.

Most surprising was the emergence of a new supermodel family: the Simpsons Pete Alonso Polar Bear shirt . Thanks to creative director Demna Gvasalia of Balenciaga, Springfield took over Paris Fashion Week. The result was a highly entertaining series of misadventures as the world’s favourite cartoon family goofed their way through French couture. Highlights included Marge in a green pagoda-shouldered gown getting stuck in a doorway, Homer nearly fainting after seeing the whopping price tag of a “Balenciagaga” creation, Sideshow Bob’s futile attempt to fit his clown feet into the brand’s Speed sneakers and an animated yet still sombre Anna Wintour. This wink at fashion’s affinity for dour demeanours is fitting, considering the industry’s comically deficient reputation. Hayley Elsaesser — a Toronto-based designer renowned for her playful patterns and cheeky aesthetic — even went so far as to cite this perception in her brand’s origin story. “Growing up, I was always a practical joker and loved wearing crazy outfits,” she says over the phone. “But when I started studying fashion in university, I realized that the industry feels the need to portray this very specific serious image. So I was like, ‘F that! I’m going to be the antithesis and just have fun and do what I want.
