Next to Chanel rocket launcher or a Louis Vuitton electric chair, a Dior gun can start looking cute. Check artist Peter Gronnquist's Solo Show, “The Revolution Will Be Fabulous: A Weapons of Mass Designer Show” at Gallery 1988 at the corner of Melrose and La Brea through May 16. Per Highsnobiety: "The artist presents blinged out faux-designer weaponry such as Paul Smith rockets, Louis Vuitton electric chairs and Pacman bombs. Some pieces look really nice and are well fabricated, such as the Louis Vuitton chair, others came off a little cheap, which does not really work if you enter this kind of art. Since he is working with high fashion branding, the pieces also have to look that way."
