When Fashion Goes Too Far: Fake Human Skin Clothing

The world of fashion is a million voices screaming for attention.  I think this designer has achieved an attention-getter with real shock value.  Kudos to Olivier on creativity but the products just don't look good.  I am not endorsing real human skin, but fake is fake and that too detracts from the shock value.  I would not be surprised if practicality ultimately defeats this fashion flash in the pan.

Does this remind anyone of a creep character?

It is disturbing to look at. This is not something I would want nor buy. To each his own on this one. I think maybe serial killer Ed Gein would be the only person raving about this.

it is highly provocative, indeed. especially to europeans, but not for serial-killer reasons ! Because of the holocaust and what nazis did to jews during WW2. They were actually making soap off and also used skin from jews as well. that's what i feel.

besides that, i don't see most difference with wearing any leather jacket, pant or shoes or furr coats. if you ever experienced the process of manufacturing a treated leather skin like i did, you'd understand it's not much different before they dye it.

Unlike the fur industry, the real animal fur got replaced by synthetic simulated fur-lookalike stuff, this "human-skin" fad, if it catches on, might turn reverse of the fur fashion.  If, god forbid, in this Doom-era the "human-skin" clothing finds social acceptance, alongside of porn and gore in "regular" (not universal) movies and on "family" TV, then it is a step away that cadevers will be stolen from morgues to be skinned, and maybe third-world countries will spawn another underground industry smuggling "real skins" along with exotic animals, drugs, prostitutes, and human organs...

Ouch..

I have to go now and puke....

frisson is french for shiver

What I've always really wondered about, is I wonder how many Jewish people have leather couches?

It's just something that seems so hypocritical to me, I mean the Nazis made all sorts of coth and vases and even clothing out of the Jewish people they had killed in their concentration camp, and that alone is disgusting enough as it is. So if a Jewish person actually had a leather couch I mean this would drive me bonkers.

Yea there are a lot of people who think animals < humans but those are usually people who once again have a superiority complex (something which caused the Nazi's to commit all the atrocities in the first place). I'm not a fan of the skin clothing because it seems tacky, but it's not a big deal since it's not real skin to begin with .. I guess people would wear it to be controversial?

Jews sitting on leather couches are hypocrites.... fake human skin will lead to real human-skin fashions in "...this Doom-era" ( I love how Doom is capitalized, like this is actually The Doom Era), that human skin will soon be an illicit export alongside human organs and elephant ivory I suppose.

The craziest people in this story are the people posting responses, not the fashion fools making fake human skin clothing. It's a blip, a nothing, a lark, probably a joke. But the enviro-Doom-world-evil-humans-destroy-the-West yo yo's will blow ANYTHING into a travesty of humanity. Get over yourselves dopes!

Fake human skin clothing is barely on the radar compared to your suggestion that Jews are hypocrites for sitting on leather couches.  That's truly ignorant and marks you a repulsive human.

"Nagual" has a point - what may be more interesting than the product are the responses it provokes in "normal" people. Howard Stern uses this argument to justify the outrageous material featured on his radio show. Right or wrong, shocking and/or offensive topics and products force us to reveal things about ourselves we would otherwise keep hidden.  

Geez it looks like real human skin. This is morbid and weird.

I reckon it looks great. I love it. I would already have some of it were it cheaper

I'd like to skin the f*g designer(s) of these sh@ts

Id prefer to walk around naked. They looks like total shit. Somebody coming up with a stupid idea to get famous and noticed for something controversial, rather than for a decent product. I liken this bollocks to the 'artist' who tied up a starving dog, didnt feed or water it and let people watch it die. Sensationalist bullshit.

ok ive heard of animal skin but human skin?you guys re nasty hobos and i hope you all die!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww why would you want a human skin coat even if it is fake that is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo GROSS

I am never coming here again

Grossed Out

Omg, i love this line!!! If anything it is artistic! I see it as a message also. What is the difference between fur, leather and humain skin? None!!! I hate fur and leather, but fake humain skin, now that's an attention grabber!! I love it! ;)

you are a freak..mean..omg
aggghhh..........
that is so disgusting!!!!!!!!!what if i got your skin and made something out of you..would u like that..no i dont think so.....
wierdos

I absolutey love this..

this is brilliant.

We think this entire line is beautiful and amazing in its own way. I can't stop gazing at the coca-cola sign imprinted on the breasty-bag. I mean....seriously, How could you NOT love the idea of wearing your friend's skin on monday, your sister's tuesday, your grandma's on wednesday, someone in Nigeria's on thursday, and borrowing one from a neighbor on friday! HEY! You could go to the club in a hot trench coat and a matching purse of any ethnicity you desire!! Wow. You designers have really outdone yourselves.
BTW! THIS IS ALL COMPLETELY SARCASTIC!
YOU MAKE US SICK WITH YOUR CREEPY MINDS AND HEARTLESS IDEAS.
FUR IS MURDER!....SO IS HUMAN SKIN!!
.............................................Bunch o' freaks.

YOU STOLE THOMAS HARRIS' IDEA! nasty people.
