Vice Style

Vice has just launched a standalone style arm arm and it's off to a fast start. My fave read so far is the illuminating piece on Fashion's Forgotten Fascists which takes a look at what Italians where wearing in the brutal Mussolini era. The author correctly points out that "There’s a lot of totalitarianism in fashion: the big dreams and ambitions, the sense of new beginnings, the attempts to define an epoch." Vice style is also onto Vybz Kartel's wierd homage to Clarks which I blogged about last week.
