Bin Ladin, the fashion label.

Bin Ladin, the fashion label. Forget Prada, forget Monica, Yeslam Binladin, one of Osama bin Laden's 53 siblings, is planning to launch a clothing line under a label that might carry a marketing challenge: "Bin Ladin."

I wouldn't wear any of those clothes to parties in New Zealand... ;-)

"...the line, which will be moderately priced and designed to compete with the likes of Italian retailer Benetton SpA." Fashion, a world unto itself!

Probably sell really well - all those people who bought Pro-Cruelty and Wife Beater logo'd stuff will be all over this.

I ain't lyin', Monica's Messenger bags are sweet. (But are they stain resistant?)

And he has been trying to market this brand for exactly how long before his sibling became a terrorist ultimately responsible for the murder of thousands of civilians and ensuring the deaths of thousands more ?

The trashy people who are into "fashion" have no taste or style, so I suspect they will sell quite well.
