IT’S ALL THE VOGUE IN PYONGYANG

Despite all the tub-thumping and sabre rattling in the Korean peninsula, it seems the North Korean central news agency has their priorities in order, giving tips to the fashion conscious members of the oppressed masses.  The helpful advice that old people should wear clothing which is both “neat” and “comfortable” should be useful advice to anybody who frequently mistakes burlap sacks for evening attire.

Care should be taken to ensure that your clothing suits your “countenance, figure and age,” no mutton in lamb’s clothing in North Korea then.  It seems this season the commissars at the North Korean Clothing Institute have a glut of light coloured textiles in stock for this spring season as they are given Kim Jong Un’s two thumbs up personal seal of approval.

However, in the south of the country military D.P.M clothing is in vogue with more and more of it being shipped to the young men on the border with South Korea.  Sources within the country state that this growing trend is nothing to worry about and it is merely the youth experimenting with tie-dye and definitely not a build up of troops to attack those capitalist pig-dogs, nothing to worry about there then.

Move over London, Paris and New York, the colourful fashions of Pyongyang’s clothing institute are the cool new kid on the block.
