A Man in Uniform


An Italian Carabinieri, 
looking very “GQ” magazine.  
There’s something about a man in uniform that reflects authority.

For example, the Nazi uniform, designed by Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck, were designed to project authority and power, and to foster fear and respect.  They were produced in part by, believe it or not, HUGO BOSS (named after its founder Hugo Ferdinand Boss 1885-1948).
Designers take note: the uniforms were purposely designed to perpetuate the Aryan “superman” myth, by placing the belt and the skirt of the tunic intentionally high, making the wearer’s legs look longer and thus exaggerating his height.  
Students: study your proportions :)
