I've given up on contemporary fashion designers, but this one takes the cake (or the face).
London's Men's Fashion Week had these "faceless" men strutting down the runway this Fall for the Autumn/Winter 2013 (AW13) show.
A reception for the show was hosted by none other than Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron at 10 Downing Street. A perfect match of the avant-garde with the conservative.
The image below is of a slovenly Prime Minister Cameron, with his buttons undone (on his jacket and shirt) standing tie-less, next to the formidable fashionista Dylan Jones, UK Editor of GQ Magazine, who doesn't miss a beat with his turquoise silk tie and matching silk lapel handkerchief. No loose buttons for him.

The Casually Hip Cameron docilely opened up those doors, and these are what showed up:

The planked-up model in the top image is from Craig Green collections.

He (it?) has his face boarded up with planks of ply wood, as he parades down the runway in pajamas. What an apt metaphor for a culture (Western culture) that is trying to eradicate its men through the forceful combination of violent feminists and homosexuals: board up the men's faces up with wood and render them inactive through formless night clothes.
And feminists these days are no longer relegated to the shrill core of women who hurl themselves at the hooves of galloping horses in a suicidal attempt to get their message across.
We are all feminists. The contemporary world functions on a feminist premise, which makes accomplices of us all. Once we realize this link, we can then start to untangle ourselves from the ropes that grip us.
Let's start by noticing this hideous, ugly and violent exhibition of men with their faces and identities boarded up.
Here is an excerpt of an interview Craig Green held with the Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design student magazine 1 Granary:
Q: Please tell us about your collection.Here is what Craig Green looks like, with his puffy, doughy face of a Pillsbury doughboy, bereft of any hard-line masculinity. Rather than feminine, he looks like an over-grown toddler. He couldn't handle "The Village of the Damned" if it were to rise from the ashes of the movie theaters.
A: I was looking a lot at the movie ‘The village of the damned’ (1960), so my collection was inspired by a lot of imagery from religion and cults, as well as looking at work wear and uniform.
