GistNigeria: When fashion goes to HELL (photos)

Controversy sells. People are likely to be more interested in things and ideas that throw normality out the window. This known result is why top fashion designers are creating new territory of mixing fashion with religion.

Religion is a cushion on hard ground for what some have described as a meaningless existence; Its practice has brought meaning where there might be none. So, naturally, it ignites passion when it is mentioned or displayed. A good fashion piece lingers on its audience mind long after the show is over. To make an impact, the piece has to invoke high level of emotions and what better way to achieve this than to literally have your audience gasping in horror.
