These Dresses At Paris Fashion Week Look Like A Glitch In The Matrix And I'm So Confused

Paris Fashion Week happened last week, which means we saw all kinds of very cutting-edge looks. Like, for example, Doja Cat's all-red outfit with Swarovski crystals glued to her face.

It's amazing but it also makes me feel claustrophobic looking at her.

However, I want to direct your attention to the Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture Spring/Summer show, because I don't understand fashion, and frankly, what happened here confused and frightened me. It started with some normal-looking gowns, like this one:

But then...

...models started walking out...

...in dresses that broke my brain.

It looks like they're in a video game and their clothing clipped right through them!

How'd they even do this one??

THERE IS A HOLE IN THIS MODEL'S ABDOMEN, PLEASE HELP.

It's like a glitch in the Matrix or something.

I also wanna know, just from a practical standpoint, how this specific model walked with an entire skirt covering their face.

Okay, in all seriousness, this is very cool, but it does give me a chuckle seeing these "glitch" dresses next to the "normal" ones. Like, whoops! It's on sideways!

There's probably a metaphor here that explains the ~meaning~ behind these dresses, but I am 100% not smart enough nor knowledgeable about fashion to know what it is, so please tell me in the comments, because I am FASCINATED.

Anyways, congrats to the designers on a successful show that got me — a person who knows jack-all about fashion — to look through, like, 50 photos of dresses. And kudos to the models for not bumping into anything.
