Email thisPosted Aug 16th 2008 at 1:03PM by Kyle Hepp

Fashion photographer Nick Knight has used two very powerful tools to express his disgust with the fashion industry for their blatant acceptance of racism and discrimination against black models -- guns, and Naomi Campbell.

The bulletproof is in the jacket

Bulletproof cars are so passé, that's Al Capone stuff. We'll see your Tom Cruise and raise you one better- bulletproof clothing.

In Mexico there have been 1,400 drug-related deaths this year alone. Obviously that isn't something to be taken, or discussed, lightly. However, it does appear to be a pretty good marketing campaign for Miguel Caballero, a clothing maker from Colombia who recently opened a shop on Avenida Presidente Masaryk, "a high-end shopping thoroughfare in the Polanco neighborhood, one of the most upscale in Mexico City."

Talk about dressing to kill! At Resort 2009, Chanel brought out the big guns, err, literally. In addition to the fashions, the models also brandished some pistol stilettos.

But these shoes weren't just for the show, Lagerfeld and Co. will actually be selling these .22 caliber heels! We know Bonnie & Clyde were fashion icons, but gun shoes? Really?

So StyleList wants to know, would you buy these shoes? Take their poll this week and let them know if these are something you would like to ar yourself with, or if the whole concept turns you off.

Introducing the Booze Belt

Earlier, I noted Britney Spears' recent foray into cowgirl hooker fashion. Given her new taste in clothing, and her tendency towards drinking like a fish, I think I've found the perfect gift for the fallen star: the Booze Belt.

Not only is this device highly practical, it adds a fun Western flare to any wardrobe choice. I think it'd look especially nice with a pair of Wranglers and some kitschy cowboy boots. Plus, on the rare occasion you're not drinking, I'm sure you could put guns in there, which is handy.

Unfortunately, alcohol is not included, but the belt does come with all the shot glasses you'll need. So grab some tequila, hit the range, and get your drink on!

Special bonus: the belt seems to be held together not by a buckle, but by a cheap plastic clasp -- awesome!
