What kind of person can pull off a metallic gunnysack? Radar investigates.

This Wednesday, New York Fashion Week kicked off and the models took to the runways. As these genetically superior boys and girls sashayed down the catwalk, Radar had to wonder how some of their high fashion ensembles would be received outside the Bryant Park tents. To find out, we assembled a team of experts, kind strangers in sports bars, and enterprising merchandising students to ask them one of fashion's most enduring questions: Who wears that?

The Designers:
• Jean Paul Gaultier
• Yohji Yamamoto
• Heatherette
• Toni Maticevski
• Grant Krajecki

Radar's Panel:
• Malan Breton, independent designer, contestant on Project Runway, season three
• Seth Howard, stylist and market editor, Out magazine
• Jerry Alicea and Lauren Hubert, students at the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising (conveniently located in Radar's building)
• John Flood and Nick Cuccia, outgoing patrons of Duke's bar, 99 E. 19th St.,
New York City

The Look: Lumberjack Rock Star

The Inspiration:
Warren Beatty in Shampoo meets a kilted Kurt Cobain.

Who Wears That?
Spokesperson for Jean Paul Gaultier: "A man who is living a life on the edge, comfortably, with disregard to what others think of him and his lifestyle."
Seth Howard: "Vincent Gallo, on any given day in Los Angeles."
Nick Cuccia: "David Hasselhoff."
Malan Breton: "Wolverine, after playing in his grandmother's dress closet."
Lauren Hubert: "Definitely not my boyfriend in Illinois."
