For menswear Fall 2018, designer Demna Gvasalia and stylist Lotta Volkova bury looks under layers and layers of clothes. 

There is no doubt that the traditional runway has come a long, long way from its editor-only, salon-staged origins, but the intention has remained the same: to present and review a collection. So does Vetements&rsquo; latest runway take things a bit too far?

From the beginning, the brand has challenged fashion <a href="http://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-features/demna-gvasalia-balenciage-vetements-10279574/">preconceptions</a> &mdash; from unofficial runways in gay clubs to a collection of collaborations to the signature oversized sweatshirts that redefine &ldquo;one size fits all.&rdquo; Layering, too, and anarchistic &ldquo;<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/lotta-volkova-vetements-stylist">bad taste</a>&rdquo; styling has been a signature of Lotta Volkova who dresses Vetements&rsquo; presentations.

For Fall 2018 menswear, the brand went all-in, sending models down the runway in layers upon layers of clothes. Patterns cover patterns, kimonos cover flannels, headscarves cover hats, jackets cover jackets, creating an indiscernible m&eacute;lange of fabrics. There might be a bodysuit or two, but good luck finding them. It&rsquo;s nearly impossible to evaluate any actual design because it&rsquo;s nearly impossible to make out where one item ends and the other begins. There&rsquo;s no immediate conceptual or artistic element to it either, like in the way Rei Kowakubo presents an amorphous dress as a critique of body ideals, for example. It begs the question why have a runway show at all? And perhaps that is exactly the point.
