On the contrary, this may prove to be a brilliant partnership, in a evil mad scientist way.

If you understand how a trend starts, this is a perfectly logical place to attempt broader acceptance of what is, aesthetically-speaking, a bizarre fashion accessory.

There are distinct sociological strata that fashion trends progress through on their way to the mainstream and they never start at "nerdy conferences".

Is this one of those strata, though? I keep seeing "get a load of what she's wearing" excerpts from fashion shows for bizarre stuff that's never seen again.
