J.Loââ¬â¢s jacket might raise eyebrows
Itââ¬â¢s not exactly Britainââ¬â¢s Prince Harry donning a Nazi uniform for a costume party. But the jacket Jennifer Lopez wore for a recent German TV spot might draw some attention.
Detailed on the cuff of the white lambskin-with-rabbit-fur-hood jacket is a design with both German military and biker overtones: an Iron Cross, a lightning bolt and two skulls, a design that Los Angeles tattoo researcher Terisa Green suggests is reminiscent of the ââ¬Ådeathââ¬â¢s headââ¬Â patches worn by SS troopers during World War II.
The Iron Cross was once a proud symbol of courage among German soldiers. But in World War II, Adolf Hitler superimposed a swastika on the cross, and today even the traditional Iron Cross evokes images of the Third Reich.
