Guns Get Fashion Makeover
Fri, 09 May 2008
Maybe you can use these weapons with your new camouflaged Iomega eGo Camo portable hard disk drive (HDD) but somehow I doubt they’d fit in with regular combat clothing. You may need to add a Philip Treacy hat to pull it off.
We see lots of blinged gadgets and items here but it’s not often that the world’s leading fashion labels are used to adorn deadly weapons. Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Gucci and other fashion labels are used by artist, Peter Gronquist, to soften up the fact that these babies can kill you.
That Louis Vuitton electric chair [below] is just creepy. Still, you can buy it for around £2,225, while a Chanel rocket launcher will set you back about the same. I must say I like that Murikami semi-automatic.
For those gun-loving catwalk aficionados among you with a little less cash, there’s always a Louis Vuitton chainsaw for £1,650 and a D&G sub-machine gun for £1,000.
