In other war/fashion news, our friend Majed Al-Sabah reports that a major shipment of merchandise from Prada destined for his Villa Moda retail complex here in Kuwait — some 300 boxes of shoes, handbags and clothes — were mistakenly collected from the Kuwait City airport by the U.S. Army. The goods were then taken to its warehouses north of the city in Camp Doha, which supplies troops with equipment, food and other necessities. Army officials identified the errant Prada shipment on Sunday and were rerouting it to Villa Moda on Monday.

The shipment did not include Prada gas-masks ;-)
