Arms Control? Artysm’s Got Something Up Its Sleeves

Sometimes things land in our inbox that we don't know quite what to make of but are worth a mention. Case in point: Artysm's puzzling pullovers and sweatpants that boast an excess of sleeves/orifices for imaginary limbs. We can't quite discern the inspiration—alienwear? Fall layers for Hindu God Shiva? An eerie manifestation of clothes-that-could-be if we don't stay serious about pollution and the environment? Some of the simpler designs are almost subtle enough to be wearable, but by and large they make us throw up our hands in befuddlement. And with the pieces bestowed with names like "Who Doesn't Suffer from an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?" we think we're probably right to be a bit confused.
