Artist Antonio Riello has created a collection of ladies weapons. His designs combine retro couture with real military weapons, including assault rifles, pistols, sub machine guns, hand grenades and rocket launchers.
"In 1998 I decided to focus my artistic research mainly about a "fashion-fiction" visual story regarding an old passion of mine: weapons - objects full of symbolic senses. I want to mix, in an artistic way, traditional 'female stuff' like fashion with very traditional 'male stuff' like guns. It consists in a restyling of real military weapons into fashion items for ladies". Antonio Riello
