I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after receiving the following email from a representative of Marked Moskva, the designers of that bizarre burqa fashion show.

The reader who told me it was an art project was apparently mistaken.

They are serious.

With the subject line, “This is not an art project and we do not mean to mock the burqa...”

We have designed the burqas to muslim and non-muslim women in Norway. We use burqas to wear at a regular basis ourselves. We see many advantages with wearing burqa and we want to promote it as a supplement to the ordinary female’s wardrobe. If you read the interview in www.oslopuls.no and translate, you will know Marked Moskvas true intensions. Peace!

Oh brother.
