I don't have a detailed understanding of how runway shows work, but my understanding is someone is buying those clothes, even if those clothes in specific are not pret-a-porter. Even the pret-a-porter pieces from big name designers can be stuff that looks pretty crazy to me.

I'm more wondering how one would even begin to sell clothes some other way. And I guess I don't even really know how to ask the half-formed question rattling around in the back of my mind.
