Now that's what I call fashion's Nuclear Weapon. TO.DIE.FOR. The much coveted Christopher Kane's Nuclear T-shirts for women is now available at Boutique 4. Men's are coming soon.
T-shirts that glorify the massacre of hundreds of thousands in a mere instant with no traces of their existence not to mention the aftermath with mutated child births with the man who pulled the trigger himself attempting suicide years later.
Fashion takes precedence over morals it would seem.
Anonymous & Fuzzy bear very interesting points you have raised here which did not cross my mind. Especially that I described it as "to die for" makes it even creepily ironic. I totally agree with you on that. That's not the kind of message you'd like to send out. That said, I do admit that I like the color combo effect on the t-shirt..

This is the most offensive T-shirt I have ever seen. I am from the country that is the only victim of nuclear bombs so far and I wish it will stay that way.
I don't see their visual appeal, they look like cheap, flimsy t-shirts made in some sweatshop that sell in places like hot topic or sam goody's for $40 and with the picture peeling away after repeated washes overtime.
One more thing that interested me is that I recently discovered that the bikini itself was named after a nuclear bomb or to be more specific the location of a nuclear bomb test.

Why is everyone taking offense to the t-shirts??
I don't believe Christopher Kane meant any harm or insult!
From an artistic point of view, the graphic is beautiful.. as far as colors and design!
And thats all it is... a graphic, an image, pure aesthetic...

Although I do not think kane meant any harm and I actually do like the color combinations, I think this is a tad tasteless. Sometimes the 'appreciate it for its aesthetics' argument just doesn't cut it

The designer, apparently, has not been in any war nor has he met any war survivors.
This is the worst collection I have ever seen.
