Weapons of Mass Design or the Real Thing by Hermes?

Rifles, rockets, bombs, electric chairs, and chainsaws + bling × haute couture: That's the recipe of Peter Gronquist's Weapons of Mass Designers --

Does anyone see a pattern here [gasmasks, weapons, ...]

It's the old trick of making an extremely violent film featuring some random war theme and calling it an anti-war manifesto.

So far so good... now, if you need a true, maybe non-fabulous revolution, you need -- at least -- one of these --

The Hermès Eurocopter

The helicopter's cockpit upholstered in black leather --

... and the redesigned landing gear --

The french fashion company Hermès recently teamed up with eurocopter, the world's third largest aerospace group to create l'helicoptre par hermès, a luxury helicopter.

No irony here.
