Weapons and fashion!

This is Sasha Gradiva, apparently Russia's answer to Lady Gaga. She wore this ensemble to the Grammys and apparently was asked to take off the guns or leave, and she left so she could keep her outfit intact. I love the dichotomy of the beautiful soft pink dress and space-age armor/firearm on her shoulder.

Leonid Gurevich and Gilding Primal Instinct designed the weapon piece on her arm, and Alfredo Flores designed the gown. "Leonid explained [to] me the concept behind the piece was 'to take ALL the weapons and firearms of the world and use them for artistic purposes only. Not for killing. Make couture. Not war'" says Music Fashionland. I just think it's a wonderful combination of girly pink and a fierce, industrial firearm.

I tried to find more examples of weaponry in fashion, but I was sadly disappointed.
