Surf's Up: Today in Delightfully Disturbing Garb

Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 | Updated 3:45 PM PDT

Today in delightfully disturbing garb, we bring you these trompe l'oeil wetsuits from designer Diddo Velema. Our personal favorite is the shark bite model, featuring several lifelike gashes and a torn sleeve—although probably not the best choice if you're beaching it with small children. Other designs include the "Anatomic Musculature" suit, one that mimics a rusty robot who's washed up from the deep, and one patterned after the Whale Shark, sure to keep swimmers at bay on crowded beach days. Suitably macabre, for those who aren't quite ready to wear taxidermied rats on their heads. [If It's Hip, It's Here; Previously]
