In support of this assertion feast your eyes on this, part of the Spring/Summer collection for Dior. (As reported by Vogue, link via Boing Boing).
According to the NYT, Galliano's new collection for Dior was launched to "the sound of whips and clanking chains", and models, erm, modeled "skirts splashed with fake blood".
I bet many a misogynist designer's pants were a chaffing that day what with all the excitement.

Wow. That could also be a statement of violence by women (or any country). Trying to cash in on that soldier mystique, the survivor (and killer) who walks out of battle. "I am good because I kill and I am invincible. Look at my wounds and yet I walk."
The worst kind of androgyny is how I see it.
And it's still a big ICK.
Not only are the clothes revolting, but the drained of blood vampire look of the model is fairly stomach-churning as well! Shudders...
WTF?!! I wouldn't like to see what was going on in that guy's head when he was designing this crap.
It is all very zombie dead women style. Apparently this is considered 'erotic'.
mmmmmmm......braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnsssssssssssssssss.....
I wonder how sexy it'll be when she's easting your brains?
