Are big zany hats + expanded craniums the future of fashion + human anthropologie?

Photos via Easy Fashion


I was just looking at some blogs about a week somewhere in some fashionable city, and I noticed this new ‘ trend’ that is possibly authentic, but also possibly just trying to be some sort of zany internet meme. I sorta feel like huge heads are the future of . Like, this is supposed to represent some sort of drive for knowledge + information until our heads swell up.  Also might be possible that we are evolving into ’super humans’, and our heads must expand so we can embed computers in our body.

I am very inspired by the of Walter Van Beirendonck, who will probably be known better as ‘the bro who designed huge hats + heads.’

Sorta wish I could go to a show that was clearly attempting to be ‘all zany.’

I feel like the designer bro must be inspired by the cranial structure of aliens.

Must be some sort of commentary on how our information economy + concept of ‘me’ has evolved so much. Like swollen heads.  Maybe commentary on tween culture, and the concept of ‘me’/'ego.’

Wonder if I could be a horse jockey if I had a ‘huge head’ of if that would weigh down my horse.   There are probably downsides to our evolution into huge-headed creatures.

I feel like the era of earbuds is over. We are headed back towards ‘huge ass’ headphones/earmuffs/head accessories.  Also might carry a lil machine gun in our jogging pants.

Kinda cold. Have 2 keep ears warm (possibly jam to a new mp3 downloaded from the formerly alt hypingmachine mp3 search engine).

Need some huge head accessories + a belt that is ‘fly.’

(honestly might buy some of these progressive cargo pants if Old Navy releases a similar style in 2k15.)

Honestly confused. Do yall think this is a trend or some sort of commentary on society/humanity/evolution/information?

Hope I can commission one of these huge head+hat combo deals in a ‘lil douchebag faux military hat.’

What kinda hat would u get?
Zissou red beanie?
Barry Bonds post-steroids enlarged head + baseball helmet?

Feeling hopeless. Untrendy. Might just ‘melt my face’ like the broad from the Knife. (This may or may not be a global warming metaphor.)

Will probably just ’stick my head in the oven’ and see if I can implement the new melty face trend/off myself.

    Derek Zoolander: Why do you hate models, Matilda?
    Matilda: Honestly?
    Hansel: Yes.
    Matilda: I think they’re vain, stupid, and incredibly self-centered.
    Hansel: I totally agree with you. But how do you feel about male models?

    I really hope that big ass headphones aren’t coming back “in” they make your ears sweat. I’ll take some futuristic 2k10 wireless in ear monitors tho.

    I was ‘chilling’ with some ‘AZN homosexer Tisch photo students’ the other day, and we had a discussion about the importance of fashion. They believe zany hats + scarves are emblematic of the culture metaphorically ‘getting ready for winter’ [via shitty economy + a barren post-Obammy world], but think the increasing size of zany hats goes with the theory that our species is becoming more intelligent, more self-aware, more post-modern. As our heads physically (and metaphorically) grow, so will our collective consciousness + impact on the world [via creating zany scarf memes + increasing the marketability of relevant musical artists]. This is the time for growth, not for zany hats. Their time will come before you know it.

    Gunther says, quality post and sees some really kickass fashion ruined by some ridiculous clothing/accessories.

    Possible options include but not limited to:
    Fire the beltbro.
    Fire the skirtbra.
    Fire the bros tailors/outfitters.
    Retain all headwear for further development.

    Gunther also notes alien being quoted, “Hows it look, doc?”

    i think the girl in the green’s costume is a tribute to 9/11, or possibly reflecting a new sex fetish where girls fuck airplanes. melty face > acne.

    Don’t know where the human evolutions are leading.

    Feel like the bigger the head, the smaller everything else looks.

    Not the best thing for mating rituals/munting to electro.

    There is a line between amusing and frightening that Karin Dreijer Andersson crosses every time I see/hear her work. Last night I had insane dreams about Dave Longstreth and Zooey Deschanel living together in a giant dollhouse in a Kansas wheat-field, where they made ‘word art’. Tonight’s dream/nightmare will probably be of this…

    No. I’m sorry Carles, but from reading this blog it seems you know little of the ‘fashion’ world.
    This fashion magazine or whatever these pictures came from show only the EXTREME of the fashion industry. AKA it’s showing that hats are going to be in-style (soon). Not big/obnoxious ones, simply because they are not practical, but just hats in general. Also big headphones are (sort-of) ‘in-style’, but I feel like Apple’s iPood ruined that when they came with their own headphones. Big headphone technology in-reality isn’t improving just coming more ‘inn’ like Beats by Dr. Dre, or the cool headphones The Blood Beetroots wear with their venom masks…

    Its funny because all the female designs look like things a katamari ball would pick up and all the male models look like princely cousins.
