Apocalypse Fashion

It is awfully good to know that, when in time of need --- like a desert oil war or, say, an outright fin du monde situation of biblical proportions --- French clothing hawker Marithé + François Girbáud will be there to see that you are stylishly and comfortably dressed. For the uncertain autumn/winter 2006-2007 season, new winter apocalypse colours are available: Dubai black, Wadi al Batin brown and Tigris red. Clothing is resistant to random hoodlum attacks and becomes more authentic, wearable and even waterproof with oil fallout stains. With these innovations, one can hardly wait for what the spring/summer 2007 collection will bring us!
