Well it's certainly a strange way to try and sell clothes.

But putting bald skeletal women - naked from the waist up and sporting hideous beards - on the catwalk must have seemed like a good idea to designer Patrick Mohr.

The bearded ladies were joined by equally odd-looking male models on the runway at Berlin Fashion Week today wearing what appeared to be giant boxer shorts.

But they later emerged in actual outfits for the front-row fashionistas to gawp at instead.

It's not the first time the German designer has caused a stir with the way he presents his designs.

Last year he used homeless people alongside professionals to model his collection entitled The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions.


Smart decision: The models later emerged with some clothes on


It's rude to stare! The bearded ladies looked like something out of a horror film as they formed an orderly queue


And in January of this year, he showcased his clothes with the aid of sun-tanned bodybuilders and silicone-breasted, thong-wearing transvestites.

That show, Are We Shaved? centred around the idea that the differences between men and women is not that important.

Mohr founded his own label in 2008 just a year after graduating from the ESMOD Fashion School in Munich.
