I think that makes 5 QPQs I've gambled away at this point? They should have a line I can call before I start going into serious QPQ debt. Regardless, I hereby grant thee my QPQs for Dania Beach Hurricane and KCTY (Kansas City) – feel free to use this diff as evidence of that, and ping me if the reviewer still gives you trouble. Enjoy, happy DYKing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 17:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection), introduced: "Following the disastrous loss of the entire Taxi Driver collection to, er, negligence, McQueen was still uncertain about launching his own label. After some dithering, he gathered up every odd and end he'd created since then and put them together in the primal scream that was Nihilism. Not yet capable of the sweeping narratives that would characterise his later career, and on a budget of approximately zero, he went for pure shock tactics. Models smeared in filth and fake blood stalked down the runway, wrapped in cling film, breasts and genitals flashing. The audience was struck dumb and even photographers quit snapping, aghast at the sight. Reviews were mixed, with many accusing McQueen of misogyny while others recognized the burgeoning talent beneath the gore." Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:43, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I love that thing! Why don't we see more of that kind of adventurous styling in the retail market? Is it too risky for most people? Viriditas (talk) 21:16, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a lot of things. It requires good tailoring, you can't just fast fashion it or it'll look janky. That makes it expensive, and expensive makes it even more niche. So you could probably get something like that in a smaller boutique, but not in big retail stores or fast fashion outlets. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:36, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
