Angela Merkel & Fashion

Merkal and Cowen - not invited to burlesconi's bunga bunga parties! Ever!

Ahhh she's like a big lovely teddy bear really!

Also Joes Higgins wins the award for worst dressed leader in the Dáil, (although he's not technically a leader as the Socialists run under 'collective leadership') and Jerry Adams the best I think, those scarves and jumpers go well!

Have you made similar threads for all the badly dressed male politicians?

Who says it's anything to do with her being a woman?

Remember Bertie's yellow suit?

Funny, i was going to start a similar thread to the OP. Merkel does indeed look awful, those shirts she wears are like something from the 90s. And that crop top on her head is unforgivable.

And of course, I'm sure you are all handsome people with amazing fashion sense.

You're missing the point. None of us are one of the most high profile politicians in the world today. Merkel is, and could put a little effort into how she dresses. My grand mother has more style! Throwing a few quid towards a fashion adviser is a must for Frau Merkel.

I never thought I'd see "Angela Merkel" and "fashion" in the same sentence.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

But she's definitely one of those women* who would look better in a burka.:)

So you want her to actually waste time picking out dresses instead of thinking of ways to save the Euro?

Credit where it's due.

This is how the Greeks, many of whom still remember when the Germans occupied their country, think that Merkel dresses. This is a recent Greek poster:

The way to save the Euro is clear.

This is one of the few crises where the solution was always clear from the outset.

I get the feeling that Merkel is picking out dresses when she ought, in fact,to be lobbying for Eurobonds and some monetization of debt as the de facto head of the Eurozone's political wing. There is no other way out of the crisis.

He's right.

Yeah, he's quite the rapier wit. :rolleyes:

How very dare a woman in the public lack vanity!

Oh please, women in the public eye have their appearance commented upon FAR more than men.

Oh yes, they do for sure.

That's because men almost always wear suits when doing something important.

You women (I assume you are a woman) have no such sartorial homogeneity. You wear reds, purples, oranges, pinks, canary yellows and alexanderite blues. You wear cotton, linen, silk, wool, leather...any shape or any cut. Of course people will comment on that.

You can't really say much about a suit, but rest assured that if political men dressed in anything but black or grey suits, this would be commented upon.

In fact, imagine the uproar if women were to be banned from wearing pink shirts in the Oireachtas chambers.

I'm no fashion guru, but does Angela Merkel get those awful clothes from a skip, I know she's a bit of a heifer, but she could at least make an effort to get a few jackets that would fit her.
Perhaps a few fashion tips from that classy Christine Legarde would help.

Was wondering where the title was going

Angela Merkel and Fashion... total contradiction in terms!

It's not just that, we're not just talking about clothes here. Angela Merkel's sexual attractiveness or lack thereof was what Berlusconi picked on because the only filter through which he views women, or so it seems.
