I enjoy looking at creative pictures, especially those related to fashion. I need to be creative for my PR assignments and I've been having mental blocks of sorts. I guess my boring English background in University didn't help me for this... anyways, I was online browsing for "creative" things and stumbled upon these images. So I decided to share. I especially like the last image (the one with the shoe...or whatever it is).

Weird, huh?

I guess this is the whole "fashion is art" thing. I agree that these are images of art. Realistically, you can't wear plastic bubbles on your head to the mall without causing heads to turn, nor can you wear shoeless-horn-huffs (or whatever they are) down the street without people giving you the stink face...These fashion pieces are meant to draw people in and create discussion. The artists that created them wanted to make a statement with odd/unique images.

Mission accomplished.

If you want to stand out, you need to be different. And just as plastic head bubbles and shoeless-horn-huffs are different, so too does your thought process. You need to catch people's attentions with unique ideas so that you can draw them in and create discussion.

People don't want the same mundane thing.
