Skirts for men have not really taken off, despite fashion maverick Mark Jacobs’ best efforts.
Fashion house Comme des Garçons, however, is not yet ready to give up on the manskirts judging from their Fall 2009 collection.
Beset with male models wearing makeup and little hats, Comme des Garçons’ whimsical runway looks entertaining, albeit in a clownish sort of way.
I hope those those guys were well-protected underneath those skirts--sometimes it can get pretty drafty up there!
