When we hear fashion critics like Simon Doonan refer to Fashion Week as a "fabulous Mardi Gras," we can't help but picture the extremely unwearable beauty looks we see come down the runways.
Models sit grim-faced backstage as their hair is twisted into towering ponytails, faces are plastered with concrete-like makeup and nails are lengthened with trinkets that can do some serious body harm. (Somebody give these girls and guys a raise!)
See for yourself in our roundup of the most outrageous beauty we spotted at New York Fashion Week. And tell us, would you dare wear any of these looks?
