Versace launches fashion line (really) inspired by Tron
If Versace has its way, we'll all soon be looking like Bruce Boxleitner zipping around on a light cycle wearing head-to-toe CGI neon. When the Italian fashion label unleashed its new collection in Milan this week, its runway models were wrapped in luminescent fiberglass like something out of Tron, as well as in outfits that drew inspiration from William Gibson's Neuromancer and Terminator.
Adam Tschorn of the Los Angeles Times obviously didn't care for the look: "I've noticed a pattern over the last eight seasons covering the men's runway collections: The quality of the opening laser light show is inversely proportional to that of the collection that immediately follows it. And, on Monday, Versace put on one hell of a light show."
For more of Versace's sci-fi-inspired menswear (and more of Tschorn's fashion snark), check out the Los Angeles Times.

What they show in the photo is pretty cool, but please no glowing fiberglass AS PART of the piece of apparel. That's just silly.

"What does this have to do with sci-fi?! WHINE, WHINE, WHINE!!!"
C'mon, you know you sour b**ches who complain about any article that doesn't have to do with 100% pure sci-fi wanted to say just that.

It has everything to do with sci-fi.
And frankly, I would love to have all three pieces. Is there anything you people won't piss on?

Wow. Phenomenal reading comprehension skills there, Jeff.

Maybe not exactly pure sci/fi but still pretty cool clothes, oh to be 20 years old and have cheek bones that could cut glass....

LOL. You got me there. I read down that far and got pissed. Amazingly, I used to be an editor.
I think this board is making me cynical about cynicism. I'm seeing so many trolls that I now see them where they don't exist now.

I'm sorry for my obnoxious response about reading comprehension skills. And I agree about getting cynical about the amount of cynicism here!

Kelsi, I think you're one of my former students. Good to see your writing skills have improved so much.
