None dare call it fashionism

How come a Lisbon fashion designer gets to make women look like this?

It may sound paranoid, but I see a double standard at work here.

It strikes me that if Americans dressed a woman like that and put her to work guarding prisoners (either here or in places like Guantanamo), there'd be hell to pay. Someone would file a lawsuit alleging cruel psychological warfare tactics, and congressional hearings would probably be held.

It wouldn't be a defense to call it life imitating art, either.

I'll never figure these things out.
