Originality

Can originality ever be overdone?
This is a question I'm forever phased with, when people like Andre Leon Talley of Vogue wears floor-length capes, he's very exaggerated, simplicity is a thing of last century. It seems to me that Andre Leon's motto is "the bigger the better." After all the man is bigger than life, as he stands at 6'4 and 310pounds.
Heatherette's Richie Rich's exaggerated make-up and the use of Amanda Le pore(the tranny) on his runways, are a bit what can I say? Heatherette-esque, their style is incomprehensible, and unable to duplicate.
Michael Alig who's known for throwing the best underground club parties, has a certain a look that I would call a fashionable clown. He's a risk taker, in every sense of the word and he isn't concerned about what's the new trend, or what's fashion; because he sets his own rules.
Let me go very underground and refer to Akeem Bazar of Brooklyn New York, who is very club-kid meets thrift. The man wears a dress and a wig, and hey that's just what he does; from the ghetto neighbourhoods to the trendy tribeca; Akeem will wear whatever he feels like.
The question is then left, can originality reach a peak to where it becomes tacky? You tell me.
