Filed under: Style in the NewsWhile we don't usually follow the latest trends at prison fashion shows, we do like to keep up with fashion crimes and cruel and unusual fashion punishment. This news would fall into the latter category. Apparently, Sweden's female inmate uniforms -- consisting of unisex gray t-shirts and sweatpants -- have long been considered a crime against femininity by the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. That's why a group of student designers were asked to get the ladies into some respectable rags. Aspiring fashionistas from the Beckmans School of Design went to work at designing cheap, durable and more effeminatly-colored uniforms.
