Nazi/Fascist fashion
 

Yes or no? Poll on the way.

Max Mosley thinks so

Germans/Prussians, yes.
Italians, not so much.
Commie fashion is OK in a pinch too, but those flat caps don't look good on me.

if you ditch logos and and anything directly tying it to a certain regime, then some of it is unique

not unless yr either david bowie or savage clone.

otherwise, nazi punks, fuck off.

it is hard for me to disassociate the wardrobe with the ideology-- in fact i see the ideology somehow "inscribed" in the wardrobe-- the authoritarianism, the cult of power, the merging of the individual into a mass mind. so i'm gonna say no.

This is a pretty famous image of Brian Jones



And here's a famous pic of Iggy Pop with one of the Ashton brothers in Nazi Regalia.



It's very easy to piss people off by using Nazi imagery. That's at least part of the point of using it.

I used to be in a band with a guy who has a world-class museum-quality collection of German WWII items. He used to wear SS jackets and hats quite a lot.


He's Ojibwe.

Alexei Sayle in his Benito uniform.

The trendsetter.

The "offensive" part of that is:

Zero authenticity, baggy fit.
BAGGY FIT? SRSLY?

i tried to convince this jewish girl i know to get a swastika tattooed above her vagina but she didn't take my suggestion so well.

Maybe you should have told her that it is also a symbol of peace.

she's a bit gullible so i probably could

It's cool when you believe in something that pisses people off, but you don't care and do it anyway. But to use Nazi imagry just to piss people off is lame and too easy.

I'm sure it also pisses off the true neo-Nazis, having their beliefs co-opted for the sake of fashion. I mean, if everyone had a swastika armband, then it wouldn't mean as much when someone from the Aryan Nation wore one. Oh, what a pity.

Although it's not a symbol of peace it means a lot of good things in eastern religion in both its left and right pointing versions. It's sad that a religious symbol that's thousands of years old has become perverted so.

how did this not get posted already??

Sid is too obvious.
But the pink picture is awesome.

i can't find the picture of bowie in heathrow airport (or i think that's where) in the nazi uniform doing the salute.

I don't know that Hitler was too keen on trannies in his army.

i swear to god ann coulter is a man, like for real.

Adam's apple, plain as day.

gawd, why didn't I think of that first??

I hate you.

It was Victoria station.

yeah, thanks

im sorry, but they all look like a bunch of dumbfucks to me

That picture reminds me of a football match.

that too!

or a rock concert, as mr. roger waters liked to point out in his bob geldof incarnation

Here's a little peice of history Nazi uniforms where designed by Hugo Boss
