I love the way the taliban mix so many styles, and just somehow make it work. Ali Baba panatloons with crisp white night shirts, garnished with a saville row waistcot and topped with a sikh turban.

Throw in Brian Blessed's beard and John Rambo's armoury and you have a look that defines the modern insurgent, and which moves revolutuonary fashion forward by decades.

They even manage to make the Jesus sandals look casually purposeful.

...and accessories to die for.

So Fashion-Forward. Do they have Queer Eye for a Jihadi Guy?

I think the fashion police banned them along time ago.
If they did then the fashion police were wrong to do so.

That is so yesterday.

Now they've gone all western and wear full camouflage, and helmets with night vision courtesy of Uncle Sam

They've kept the beards though as homage to their past look.

I know you're jesting. But, there is an element of truth in this.

The Taliban are predominantly Pashtuns and Pashtun attire is popular amongst the trendy in the subcontinent. Think of the pakol hat, the woollen shawl and the Peshawari sandals (Paul Smith did a copy and charged £300 per pair).

The sikh-like turban is actually a Shemagh (south Asian version of the Keffiyeh). It's to Pashtuns what the buff is to cyclists. Wear it as a scarf when cold, as a hat and or wrap it around your face to keep the heat and dust off during the summer.
