METALLICA ON THE RUNWAY
So I guess I have a reader or two that don’t like it when I post about fashion. Well….GUESS WHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT???
So another reader, Lise (nice name, btw), sent this clip in yesterday of a recent fashion show in Japan by a designer named Mikio Sakabe. Sakabe’s 2010 Spring/Summer collection was inspired by none other than…Metallica. Some ripped up tees were worked into the ensembles, and the models walked to an orchestral version of Master of Puppets.
Like Lise said in her email, there’s nothing truly groundbreaking about this, and I’m sure most of you dudes will think this is stupid…but I honestly like quite a few of the looks. And even though the models are sort of made up like drowned rats, they’re definitely a lot hotter than most females you’ll find at a Metallica show. So there’s that.
I guess this Metallica get-up from a previous post now makes a little more sense. Maybe the band is becoming sort of….fashionable? Or maybe they’re just the only heavy band that people from the mainstream actually know about and can associate with a “rock aesthetic?” Who knows…
At any rate, I’m sure Lars would look bangin’ in those unicorn pants.

P.S. Cradle of Filth beat them to it, anyway.
