Sometimes fashion goes beyond the art of crafting clothes; it becomes a whole new platform where designers express their deepest artistic inspiration. The border line between exciting and weird is tenuous and some masterpieces are taken to the runways without any intention of going to the streets. It may be just styling, to reinforce a concept – however, some brands go full on building curious structures.

Japanese names behind brands such as Comme des Garçons, Junya Watanabe and Yoji Yamamoto defy any garment logic, taking innovative conceptions to another level. It can be too much for straightforward humans like us, the ones pondering which clothes to wear next morning. But it provokes the minds of those working in the field to be open to something really new. One thing is certain, challenge in the industry is a good thing for all of us, even if we don’t find it visually appealing.

Gucci, Manish Arora, Moschino, Valentino and other names take a more commercial approach to the oddity fashion can become. They leave the eccentricity to the shows, putting all the quirky pieces together. However, when you take the idea to the streets, one eye-catching piece amongst ordinary clothes is a great formula to make the whole look interesting. Accessories are the pieces that can easily find a place in your everyday wear,;unconventional shoes and handbags can lift a boring look at any time. How about next time you face a strange look you carefully dismantle it in your mind to find an intriguing element amongst the chaos?
