Weapons for Fashionistas

Antonio Riello is a designer with an eye for luxury and, with this line of Ladies Weapons he blended elegant touches that are normally reserved for upscale accessories with accessories of, well, war. Using real military-issue weapons such as the American M-16, Italian Beretta, Israeli UZI and German HK 33, he adds furs, leather, jewels and bright colors to create pieces that are "hybrids born from Italian obsession for high fashion as well as for violence" for "wives of mafia bosses, arms dealers [and] sophisticated ladies."
Sophisticated ladies who need their axe, guns and grenades with them, of course.
