Cultish 80's Fashion

Universal Mind CTRL Makes Us Want to Follow Them

You know what I like, I like a fashion line that can let people know from the start that they are out to brain wash you. I mean as long as they say it up front, it is ok. The Finnish label Universal Mind CTRL is back with their Spring/Summer 2010 collection, and it has me wanting to donate all my money to them (not really).

Making sure you will stand out in the warmer months, Universal Mind CTRL is utilizing only the brightest colors in the rainbow. Plus, there are some awesome acid wash inspirations and even harem pants. Which you will need when you become the leader’s 6th wife.
