On the Prime Minister's fashion sense
Yukio Hatoyama just can’t get a break. When people aren’t complaining about how he can’t get a simple military base moved from one location in Okinawa to another (and hey, good luck ordering the US military around while you’re at it), people find fault with every little thing he does.
Apparently this is a hideous shirt, and he deserves to resign over it. Or something. Or so says a fashion designer who talked to CNN.
My favorite part of the CNN story is how Kyung Lah, the reporter who fashion designer Don Konishi talked to, blandly reports:
On the day Konishi spoke with CNN, he wore white-rimmed glasses, silver shoes and a small brimmed hat.
Yes, I did giggle at that. It’s a shame nobody else noticed that subtle Look Of Disapproval on the part of CNN. The Diplomat in their story went a step further though: they linked to the designer’s web page wherein he wears the same horrendous orange shirt on four different occasions. Talk about your motes and beams.
I guess CNN decided that after doing it to women for decades, they finally were excited to find a guy whose fashion they could tear apart.
