Christopher Kane and more questionable fashion





In going with my previous post, I'm gonna comment on the creepy Christopher Kane stuff. I know this is old news for some fashion people, but...

When I first saw these items a few months ago, I thought they were quite ingenious and cool. Now, I am so freaked out at the disgusting aspect of it:

THESE ARE ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES OF THE BOMBS FROM HIROSHIMA. AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BUYING AND WEARING THIS STUFF LIKE CRAZY.

While he's at it, why doesn't he just take images from emaciated prisoners from Auschwitz and throw them on a comfy cashmere blanket? I'm sure SOMEbody will buy it. JUST NOT ME.

EDIT: Does this seem relative to the vintage fur post? Am I encouraging the murdering of animals? And do you think this is the same thing, making money off of the image of murdered people? I'm thinking it may be.... I'm more than willing to take action if I feel so convinced of the evils of fur...

This is also strange to me. The pic comes from evil & hate and a lot of sad things why anyone would want to sport the dress around town is way beyond me. As for your Edit i would have to say fur comes from animals that are in your words murderd yes. you should serisouly do some research where fur comes from ie; how most if not all are raised in huge fur farms from and what the process is in putting the aminal down and getting the fir and decide if that is something you truely want to be a part of and want to support and encouraging buy wearing it. I think if you buy fur the yes people are makeing money in killing the animal but you have the choice so do some research and chose what you support with fashion/values the only person that can convince you of something that goes against your values is you XOXO :)
