Alyssa Rosenberg is unnerved by Elle's celebration of "North Korea Chic." But, you know, maybe she shouldn't be. After all, there are hot new looks coming out of Pyongyang all the time. Here are five of my favorite looks!
1. Children's Fashion
You'll want to slim down for the spring to fit into these soiled diapers and baggy shirts.
2. 'The Pudgy Dictator'
Buttoning your shirt all the way to top sans tie accentuates your jowls, an important status marker for any egomaniacal dictator. Hit him up at his MySpace page!
3. Prison Living
What better way to reeducate oneself about the new fall lines than spending some time in a North Korean reeducation camp?
4. Not-So-Formal Funeral Wear
Unsure what to wear when visiting an unmarked mass grave? Take a clue from these Japanese mourners visiting a North Korean war crime site!
5. Starvation Shawl
Cold? Wet? Hungry? Cover up with this flimsy piece of fabric. You don't want Dear Leader to have a sad, do you?
