You can see the collection here. Why am I linking you to the japanese website? Well, it's because the collection has been taken off from the english website. How come? Apparently, some people complained that it was too ''nazi-like''. Now, of course it is nazi-like. It's also british-army like, and french army like, american army like and name-a-fucking-army like. BECAUSE IT'S ARMY INSPIRED. Honestly guys, stop seeing nazis everywhere .. And then try to hide them. Yes, nazis existed, yes they did horrible things, but there's no need to demand that a fashion brand takes off their clothes from their website because it somewhat looks nazi, even though we can't see any swastikas.
I think some people complained about the eagle, which, as you know, is another symbol that has been used by the nazi army. Well, newsflash : the eagle as been used as a symbol of power by pretty much every empire, ever. The roman empire, the prussians, the austrians, hell, the AMERICANS. So yeah, no big deal with the eagle, it's a common symbol and doesn't not represent exclusively the nazis.
I don't even know why it bothers me so much. In any case, I think it's pretty stupid to demand that the brand takes off the clothes from the english website just because some people were offended. If you don't like it, don't buy it, that's all. Especially since it wasn't more nazi than any other army-inspired outfits.
Anyway, I'll end my rant now .. real post about my life later :B
