The "Chemical Warfare Fashion" featured on Trend Hunter a few days ago showed us how to look fabulously hip in case of a massive chemical attack.
This collection of "designer" weapons may have been conceived along the same lines. Designed by Peter Gronquist, the collection The Revolution will be Fabulous opened last night at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. Dvice says, "Peter Gronquist has jazzed up retired rifles, chainsaws, machine guns and artillery shells and slapped big names on them: Louis Vuitton, Coach, Gucci â€" probably not the brands you think of when you imagine a rocket launcher or an electric chair. There's even a Pac-Man grenade".
Its official: The revolution will most definitely be televised.
Here are some more beautiful guns:
