Is it a toupee? Is it a muff? Take part in the Fashion Week picture puzzle

3.11.2022

Translation: machine translated

When floppy balloons, heaps of paper balls and pink air mattresses float down the catwalk, the fashion association is not immediately obvious. Can you still figure out which pieces are being made palatable to us here?

There are insects that look like leaves, fish that visually merge with the seabed and handbags that could pass for milk cartons. Yep, the latter example is a little out of the ordinary, but no less fascinating for that.

While creepy-crawlies and sea creatures lead inconspicuous lives with as little friction as possible thanks to their camouflage, misleading accessories and garments on the catwalks of the fashion weeks in Milan, London, New York and Paris cause exactly the opposite: wide eyes and drawn camera lenses. What exactly the designers have in mind for their creations is not always obvious at first glance ... At least, that's what I would say. Maybe you have a better eye for absurdities and can immediately see what it is all about. How do we find out? With the help of a small but nice picture puzzle.

I laid in wait and shot down the following rare species. By screenshot, of course. No bags, shoes or hats were harmed for this article.

Do you recognise what it is?
