Mesh body bags, hama bead glasses and pom pom onesies: Graduate Fashion Week 2013 could be most outlandish runway yet

Graduate Fashion Week 2013 may have only just kicked off, but judging by some of the outlandish designs we've seen hit the catwalk so far - it's going to be a big year for emerging new talent.

The four-day event, which showcases the best emerging fashion designers, wowed the FROW crowd today with the International Show that was full-to-bursting with bizarre and out-there looks.

From onesies made entirely of multi-coloured pom poms, to grey mesh 'body bags' and even glasses made of Hama beads - the show was a non-stop spectacle of funky and fresh ideas.

The Shih Chien Taiwan show drew gasps from the FROW at Earl's Court, where models hit the runway in a sea of colour-pop printed looks that made us think of children's TV characters.

One male model walked carrying a seat belt, which at a certain angle looked like a tale attached to his monster-like printed onesie, decorated with birds, roses and jagged teeth.

It was hard to ignore the model in the pom pom suit, who carted a mirror ball as he strutted down the catwalk in the creation.

Ninjas even made a feature on the runway, with one model looking decidedly Mission Impossible as he strutted out in an all-black military-inspired get up.

The Instituto Marangoni Paris show was another must-see, with models looking as though they'd been dressed in body bags as they stepped out in cocoon-like creations.

We're guessing the sheer material allowed them to see where they were going, as only a sheer panel on their forehead was visible as they debuted the printed and cut-out pieces.

One of our highlights came from the Imogen Stubbs show, who sent models down the runway in block-coloured muted pieces in sheer and floaty fabrics.

From white bandeau dresses with a black band at the top to a chic black jumpsuit with bust detailing, the looks would have been a world away from the weird and wonderful seen elsewhere on the runway - bar one minor detail.

All the models for Imogen Stubbs donned hama bead glasses for their walks, reminding us of a) being kids again and b) adding a modern-techno vibe to the looks.

Graduate Fashion Week 2013 kicked off with a bang yesterday and judging by today's offerings, looks set to continue in the same vein right up until it's close on Wednesday.

Stay tuned for more outlandish fashion and mind-blowing design from the catwalks and tell us what YOU think of the looks over on Twitter, now.
