Third Reich Fashion

New York-- Many of the world's greatest fashion designers have often wondered how the Nazi's lost the war, when, even to the untrained eye, their fashion technologies and designs were far superior. "The allies weren't very fashion conscious" says, Prof. Ira Scott, chief currator of the Fashion Museum of New York. "Many in the fashion community had lobbied congress, prior to the US entering the war, offering ideas of good designs, colors and fabrics. These calls landed on deaf ears, because you can see what we got-olive green. Everything was olive green!" Jean Paul Gaultier has said that "green is good for the frogs, not for dressing a modern man."

Anyone who has purchsed a good trenchcoat($1500+) should know that the 'air flow' design(s) and the drape like features were designed by top secret Fashion Regiments of the Third Reich. Karl Lagerfeld, german born designer and known for being flaky and obnoxiously gay, said "These grand men of the Reich, they had color, form, fine cuts and strong masculine lines. Even today I see these strong young men, draped in black leather, complete with the Iron Cross, It makes me proud to be a German..also it makes me moist".

Isaac Mizrahi, an American designer, has offered the idea, seen as blasphemous in the fashion community, that the way an army looks isn't as important as it fights. "I'm sure they had some beautifully crafted leather coats, but they won't stop a bullet, right? I mean some of these pieces are wonderful, but they were creeps(nazis), well tailored creeps. Fortunately their fashion superiorty couldn't carry the day (save them)."
