I don't see guns becoming a trend... although it is interesting.

Nader,that hoodie is WONDERFUL. So are the gun rings.

Ain´t that just too boring. I can´t imagine anything more dull than those "dangerous" symbols in fashion. What are they suppose to compensate for? If I see another skull-print, or a pair of handcuffs or another weapon, I fall asleep until the next season. If there is a trend going on here, it must be those rorschachs/kaleidoscope-prints by Jeremy Scott. I have seen a lot of similar prints/graphics around lately.

They compensate for the fact that there is no conceivable reason why I would use a gun, especially to kill someone, so therefore I will wear one to display my affinity for their appeal.

Aha. I always thought of it as a means to cover up a weak manliness. Or in the womens case, a lame way to play the bad girl.

Or a way to further show off your bad girl tendencies

sorry, I think this is an awful trend... call me a hippie but I hate the idea of guns being glamourised.

Some clever use of gun imagery:

The "Be Tough" t-shirt by Atypyk (www.atypyk.com - they make a lot of very amusing tongue-in-cheek products

The "Superbitch" bag by artist/jewelry designer Ted Noten:

Me too. I don't think anybody who owns a gun is cool or a 'bad girl'.

But sometimes you live in an area where it's not fist to fist anymore and you're more worried about your family and you know what they have.

Sometimes it's about keeping the the .45 by your bed for close range and the nasty rifle in the living room for their getaway car.

Heard that Pistol Pete is considering a new career in the fashion business.

 

[MulletProof]

Me too. I don't think anybody who owns a gun is cool or a 'bad girl'.

agreed. just tacky for me.

I second that. And the tacky comment. I can't find any positive factor in guns

Any idea where i can buy that t-shirt? There e-shop doesn't seem to be working.

I don't think anyone who owns a gun is cool or a bad girl either. But I don't own them, I just want to wear them

I love the Atypyk shirt droogist...

How do designers come out with this all at the same time? Did dior, jeremy scott and prada discuss it or something, or is it just a coincedense? It always makes me wonder when multiple designers out out with similar things at the same time.

I know!!!! I wonder the same thing! If anyone knows this then please share with us. I have been wondering bout this for the longest time.

They were selling them on colette.fr a long time ago, but I'm guessing they're probably sold out by now. I think your best bet would probably be to contact the company directly and ask. Sorry if that's not much help....

I agree.
