Swastikas Deployed As Fashion Designs

German designers (the likes of Jil Sander, Escada, and Karl Lagerfield) have been very bold in the fashion market for many years, and yet, the fashion scene in Germany is somehow shy. The reason for this is that German designers are always laboring for other fashion houses, and as a result, German designs have been complicated to pinpoint, but that is not what I will point out today.

I have no idea what readers will say or how you will answer, but one thing is for sure, the German fashion scene have recently made itself not shy to the world. In modern history, Germany was controlled by extremists who were descendants of the Nazi era, and although there are still a few of them left, many Germans are zealous to throw them out. Now, these same people who want to drop them out have created a line of clothes that outlined the Nazi symbol, the swastika, with a red line across it. Although it clearly is proving that modern Germany says no to extremism, the said articles of fashion clearly manifests the admission of the swastika again into the mainstream. Government officials bear by their ruling that no swastika will be a symbol of fashion, whether be it enjoyable or bad.
