Der 11. September und die Mode... und die"Modemacher" / sehr wichtig!
Fashion may be fickle, but for some it helps to express strong emotions in a topsy-turvy world in the wake of September's hijack attacks on the United States.
From London to Tokyo, hip young things are donning the reds, whites and blues of the U.S. flag or clothes emblazoned with"I love New York".
On London's Oxford Street, stores brim with accessories and clothes from belts to miniskirts, wallets to basques, bedecked with the colours and patterns of the U.S. or British flags.
"It's time to show your true colours. And if they're not red, white and blue then you need to rethink your wardrobe," Britain's Sun newspaper said in a double-page fashion spread.
In Germany the editor of"Tussi Deluxe" ("Babes Deluxe"), a magazine for young women, said a t-shirt with the words"I love New York" was the thing to be seen wearing.
"I and a lot of my friends have started wearing them since September 11. People want to show their solidarity with the people of New York, if not with the American regime. Everyone wants to have these t-shirts," said Katja Vaders.
The front cover of November's U.S. edition of Vogue suggests fashion has shed its frivolous image, with the headline "American fashion waves the flag."
Vogue, which was selling a"Fashion for America" charity t-shirt with a red, white and blue heart, was one of many fashion magazines to say they had reassessed what was important in the wake of the hijack attacks on New York and Washington.
HARD ROCKET CAFE
In Japan, American flag logos are hot items, but only because they top off the glitzy 80s look that took off in Tokyo this summer, says fashion critic Yumi Nemoto.
Camouflage went out with the summer and ethnic trends are likely to pass, many fashion experts say.
"Black is in, everyone is wearing it. This doesn't mean we are going through a period of mourning," says Robson. [Eben doch!]

But the message was clear in Tehran, where one westerner was seen wearing a "Hard Rocket Cafe...Kabul" t-shirt in the same style as the Hard Rock Cafe, a popular Western hangout with restaurants throughout the world.
