9/19/2002: More tasteless fashion



Hot on the heels (ha ha ha! I crack myself up) of yesterday's tasteless fashion show comes this celebration of violence and propaganda, the "Dress of Revolution". It was designed by Saudi haute couture designer Yehya al-Bashri. The dress was part of a collection featured at an Arab fashion festival in Beirut, to demonstrate solidarity with the Palestinian uprising against Israel.

The image on her chest is this:



Which shows 12-year-old Mohammed al-Dura, cowering behind his father. He was killed by Palestinian bullets in an exchange of gunfire. His death is blamed on Israel and apparently has become a rallying point in the intifada as the Pals say he was intentionally targeted by IDF forces.
