Becoming Adolf

In this article, fashion trends are being described. With the toothbrush moustache, people now recognize it as a symbol of hatred. Long ago though, this was not the idea people thought of. Hitler made this moustache a symbol of his evil power. He made this trend very famous but not in a way people tend to think of as classy. When someone mimics his appearance, they are seen as a form of Hitler, which is something none of want to happen in history again. I thought it was interesting that this article was displayed in a fashion magazine (Vogue) because this is not the typical article which one would read. If one were to walk down the street wearing this moustache, they would not get positive looks. People would often be afraid and wouldn't be comfortable. Hitler went down in history not with a lot of fans who supported his actions, but they were against them and very confused as to why someone would do the things he did to innocent people. With his moustache, he seems superior to others which is the goal he wanted. During the Second World War, the moustache was very common among German soldiers and Hitler was ordered to trim his moustache so he could wear a gas mask. Hitler wore the moustache with the purpose of being remembered and new that no one else would be able to get away with wearing this facial hair. In modern day, no one would think to name their child Hitler because of the association many would come to. He truly did make history and his moustache is truly what we symbolize him with. The moustache he displayed truly changed when he started wearing it. If I were to see someone wearing the Hitler moustache, I would think something was wrong with them because no one should want to resemble the hatred he displayed and what a hateful person he was.
