As you might have noticed from the caliber of stunts during Fashion Week, we’re a pretty jaded bunch. It takes a lot to get a rise out of us -- or the press. Partly, that's because a surprising number off women are willing to at least try to pull of runways' most outlandish looks, or at least the bargain-basement knockoff versions thereof. And where women are game, men are just as much, if not more so, willing to dedicate themselves to fashion. Just think Gandolf beards, murses, and, possibly, the entire Thom Browne high-water phenomenon. After the jump, check out the four strangest looks for Fall 2011 menswear.

In the never-ending parade of designer collaborations, H&M’s contribution is that of frenzied, sold-out-in-minutes collections from the cream of fashion world crop--Lanvin, Lagerfeld, and Comme des Garcons included. Following last month’s heart-breaking, Europe-only Collection of Style line, it’s doubly painful to read of the newest H&M collaboration, available only in Sweden.

We all know that high-low style is all about investing in the right high-fashion pieces to play up your fast-fashion basics. And more often than not, the item that you cave for is a top-notch accessory. Whether it's an It-handbag, timeless jewelry, or dreamy footwear, you'd much rather spend your hard-earned cash on something that you can wear everyday instead of a dress or seasonal outerwear (although a butter-soft leather jacket is kind of necessary). As a salute to all you fashion junkies out there, we've rounded up some accessory porn from luxury and cult designers that is just too hot to keep to ourselves. Don't worry; this is totally safe for work.

Fashion maven Daphne Guinness' perfume for Comme des Garcons is slated to hit stores in September. In light of her upcoming fragrance debut, the ever-endearing, perpetually dressed-to-the-nines heiress spoke to Women's Wear Daily about her personal style as well as her scent leanings (although, sadly, no word was spoken about Guinness' "sexy viral short").

Hang on to your chapeaus -- Comme des Garçons for H&M has arrived! Well, in Japan at least. The monumental fashion collaboration debuted Saturday in Tokyo in conjunction with the opening of a new Harajuku H&M boutique. Designboom turned me on to a British Vogue video of the opening day chaos, as well as interviews with fashion heavyweights about the uniqueness and precedent set by the collection. And talk about some seriously dedicated fans. Exceedingly stylish Japanese young things captured on camera talk about waiting in line to see the much-anticipated collection (some of whom camped out days in advance and suffered through wind and rain in order to get their hands on Rei Kawakubo’s stylish duds).

This year is loaded with legendary fashion anniversaries. Not only did Calvin Klein fete its 40th during New York Fashion Week, but Masison Martin Margiela just rung in its 20th with an exhibition in Antwerp. But now, it’s Comme des Garçons’ turn to celebrate. Like Margiela, Comme des Garçons is commemorating its birthday with an exhibition in London.
