Why I Can Never Get Runway Fashion - Weird Designs From London Fashion Week

Because I could draw when I was much younger, I fancied myself either a fashion designer or an architect. I actually had a look-book at some point but it was more of catalog fashion. When we got cable and I started watching runway fashion shows, I gave up quickly.
