Libya’s Rebels Are A New Model Army: Photos Of A Fashionable War

WHAT we know about the “rebels” in Libya is not much. All we can be certain of is that they are not fond of Colonel Gaddafi. Other than that, they are either freedom fighters, chancers, a North African version of the racist BNP, or agents of Al-Qaeda. Thanks to these photos we can see what they look like. And they look good, like models in a fashion shoot for a new range of urban warrior, with 1970s retro hints and shades of Mad Max.

Add these images to Gaddafi’s dressing up box and the impression is that Libya is a hotbed of fashion, a land blessed with a rare satorial elegance.
