Fashion Faceoff: Keffiyehs

every model at fashion week wore one too.

David!…
but the entire of Scandinavia is wearing them!.. LOL.. Europe perhaps too..
they are the biggest thing in fashion right now since earrings..

David !!! I like the way his hair and expression for it goes really modellish

I agree with tanique, there’s no winner, both are hot.

Colin

not trying to isert religion here.. but i hear jews find this scarf offensive.

Why would Jews find this scarf offensive it’s only a piece of material you can’t just tell us something and not explain it..?

Colin without a doubt. He looks so friggin sexy

#13 Mia

it is just as Samara (comment# 16) has positioned it. Keffiyeh is the most common clothing piece worn in Palistine. I assume that’s the reason some find it offensive.

anywas, I think both pictures look as good. Although I couldnt clearly see Beck’s.

David, of course!

it’s funny because arabs are know to wear those especially in the winters to keep warm, but now it’s the fashion, if an arab war one of those in the street in America everyone around him would be scared

Becks….

Nuff said…

gosh, what a way 2 ruin a simple of freedom fighters and Arab pride by turning it into cheap style. Anyway, Beckham rules this style hands down, Colin needs 2 clean up.

I’ve been wearing my keffiyeh as a scarf for two years now. I had my brother get them for me when he was station in Iraq. I love that it was so different. Colin’s keffiyeh is more traditional and like the one I’ve got but I love Beckham’s one. It’s so fashionable. Does anyone know where you could get one?

P.S. I didn’t know that wearing keffiyeh made a political statement. Now that I know, I’m going to wear it more often. Free Palestine!

Keffiyeh?
This is SO cool, and makes the both of them look hotter!
Wearing a piece of clothing symbolising the resistance of the most oppressed people today is just awesome.
That’s not to say that all jews are nazis, but 99% of the occupiers are israeli-jewish\jewish, and they do it in the name of Yahweh (g-d).
These men make me incredibly happy!

NM: The only occupiers are the Nazi Islamofacists barbaric Arabs. Israel is the homeland of the Jews. You are a terrorist pig who needs to be deported back to your filthy stinky homeland of Arabia!

cj-

Yes, girls wear them as well, but the trend was overplayed before either of these two ever heard of keffiyeh.

to NM and others who think like her\him:

First, calling the jews nazis is an ugly combination of cruelty and foolishness, since 6 million jewish people were systematically murdered by the nazis.

“the most oppressed people”… by their leaders, hahaha!
Israel left gaza over a year ago, didn’t you hear?

“the occupiers are israeli-jewish\jewish”… and that is the reason for:
The 9/11?
Suicide bombers in Madrid? London? the Philippines?
The killing in Sudan?
and the list goes on and on.

Yeh, the glorious arabs\muslims will bring the world as we know it, to an end.

to wear = to wearing a

I agree with jimma, but the keffiyeh is a not sign of Palestinian liberation - it’s an arab piece of clothing, including palestinians.

denise…

thanx for replying!.. i wanted to get one and rock it with black skinnies or something but i just wasn’t sure..now i have to find it..never saw that in any shops around here…thanx again….

btw can you guys stop with this debate?? there are lot of people who would just like to mix and match their styles with authentic outfits of other cultures and just enjoy their time..

oh and… i say Becks wore it better!

CJ you’re just plain stupid… read the debate instead of wanting to wear something you don’t even know the signification of.

Why are people so stupid these days, just wearing something because a celebrity wears it and they don’t even know what it stands for…

Quote by Jimma:

The fact that such an article of contentious political significance has become fashionable amongst many who have no clue as to its meaning makes 2 statements: either the wearer is anti-Zionist, and perhaps anti-Jew, or he/she is a moron who should check his revolutionary fashion guide before wearing the “cool” scarves.

Uh oh…I think they’ve e-mailed the ADL, and recruited the “Israeli Propaganda Machine”…everyone take cover! Jared, I’m sorry…but I think your comment section is about to get spammed by every Zionist out there!!! Eeek! Oh well, bring it!

Gentile Zionist: I think you are the one who needs to be deported to your beloved “Israel”. I mean, with that moniker of yours… GO! Make Aaliyah! I promise, we won’t miss you! Now if you could only show that much devotion to the good ol’ USA…that would be something! (Don’t you guys ever wonder why every Zionist sits here and enjoys the fruits of America while yelling about deporting everyone else, yet they won’t ever shut up about Israel??? You better get on your knees and kiss our American ass for supporting your country, which has caused us nothing but grief!)

Rony: It’s unfortunate that you couldn’t see the blatant racism/xenophobia that your moonbat diatribe consisted of…so, I decided to show you what it would look like if I just replaced your words…like a nice clean shiny mirror held up to your face. Sometimes, when we are so blinded with hate, we can’t see how ugly we’ve become.

This is America…we can wear whatever the EF we want to! Whether we know what it means or not. You don’t need to know the significance of a sock to wear it. You can wear it because you freakin’ well please! Ain’t no zionist foo’ gonna tell me what I can and can’t wear!

KAFFIYEHS FOR EVERYONE!!!

Uh oh…I think they’ve e-mailed the ADL, and recruited the “Israeli Propaganda Machine”! Everyone take cover!!! Jared, I’m sorry…but I think your comment section is about to get spammed by every Zionist out there!!! Eeek!

Gentile Zionist: I think you are the one who needs to be deported to your beloved “Israel”. I mean, with that moniker of yours, by all means…GO! Make Aaliyah! I promise, we won’t miss you! Now if you could only show that much devotion to the good ol’ USA…that would be something! (Don’t you guys ever wonder why Zionists sit here and enjoy the fruits of America while yelling about deporting everyone else, yet they won’t ever shut up about Israel??? You better get on your knees and kiss our American ass for supporting your pathetic country, which has caused us nothing but billions of dollars, the blood of our soldiers, and immense grief!) “G-d” is calling you to Mt. Zion, O’ Gentile Zionist!!! Don’t keep him waiting!!!

Rony: It’s unfortunate that you couldn’t see the blatant racism that your moonbat diatribe consisted of…so, I decided to show you what it would look like if I simply replaced your words with other “words”…like a nice clean shiny mirror held up to your face.

To the rest of you Israeli spokespeople in disguise: This is America! We can wear whatever the EF we want to! Whether we know what it means or not. You don’t need to know the significance of a sock, tie, necklace, thong, to wear it. You can wear it because you freakin’ well please! Ain’t no zionist foo’ gonna tell me what I can and can’t wear!

KEFFIYEHS FOR EVERYONE!!!

^i think “white power” and that stuff seems more racist to me than wearing keffiyeh…since not everyone wearing keffiyehs are terrorist..i mean yes if i had to stereotype a terrorist..i would definately include his headscarf BUT….i wouldn’t think of keffiyehs as the motif of terrorists unlike swastika which is accepted by Nazis and IS the symbol those who killed millions of innocent people who basically wasn’t considered “white”…

seriously i can’t believe i’m involved in this debate since i have very little knowledge or opinion in political things…

Nm; What a damn idiot! Gentile means non-Jew ******. It’s obvious that you don’t have a dictionary since you probably dropped out out of high school. I’m more American than you since I have American Indian and Pilgrim ancestors. My family has served in the military for generations. You are probably are from an Arab country where supporting terrorists is common. You should go back to where you came from terrorist and leave us alone.

I’m not surprsied that you couldn’t debate me on any issues that I’ve brought up since you are an uneducated fool. You don’t know sh**! Stick to your Al-Jihadzeera brainwashing and keep supporting terrorists idiot.

The Arabs are the ones who have killed American civilians and our soldiers and caused our great country tons of grief. Israel pays back American aid unlike the Arabs who we give billions of dollars to and all they do is murder us and spread anti-American propaganda.

Since you hate Israel why don’t you throw away your computer, cellphones, certain medicines, etc. These were all developed in Israel the patehric country you couldn’t live without. I would boycott Arab products but there isn’t any to boycott! LOSER!

I bet the next big thing will be a burqa! Europe is all ready for Sharia. How nice!

Becks looookss really coool :)

and yes Free Palestine

am arabic and am so glad that celebrities are wearing keffiyeh as long as they understand what it means to us.

Peace to all the world, and please no offense to any religion

by the way this is a GREAT blog
keep up the good work :)

Becksssss….the hottest man alive..

Arabs in the Middle East (NOT JUST PALESTINE) have been wearing the keffiyeh before the turn of the 19th century, when Israel was still a twinkle in Balfour’s racist Zionist eyes, ps I’M ANTI-ZIONIST and proud of it and being anti-zionist (which is a nationalist right-wing ideology and not a religion) doesn’t make you anti-Semitic, and guess what I’m Jewish!!
PS ARABS ARE SEMITIC too SO STOP USING THE ANTI-SEMITIC BULLSHIT EVERY TIME SOMEONE VOICES ANTI-ZIONIST VIEWS !

COLIN!!!!no way…he’s the hottest man in the world!!

holy cow! Colin no duh. Colin is way better. and Colin is NOT a poser stupid head.

you idiots being an arab myself (from lebanon) i would like to comment that the kiffeyeh is a traditional head dress that used to only be born by men all over the arab world but had gone out of fashion in most arab countries…it but it was most worn in palestine then it became related to the freedom of palestine, and recently it has been turned into a fashion trend all over the world…

btw gentil zionist U CALL GAZA FREE?!!! wtf r u blind or dont u hear the efin news or u just turn a blind eye on wat’s happening there.

if u think that the holocaust is bad…it’s nothing compared to wat ur doing to palestinians every-freaking-day

btw becks is hotter but collin wears it better

wow! for those who find the keffiyehs offensive, i can totally see how racism is alive and well. keffiyehs are traditional arab headdress worn by men. if you associate Keffiyehs with terrorism, then you actually think ALL arabs are terrorists, and that is extremely racist.
for those who are jewish… you should know better than to preach racism…. it wasn’t too long ago that jews were considered 2nd class citizens in the USA and Europe, as well as targets of racism…

lol

just for the record

unfortunately, 99% of you don’t know much.

The original people who lived and are still called the same way are the people of Canaan. They were named people of Canaan or “Canaanis” because they lived in the zone of the Mountains of Canaan.

There is something about the name Pales which the name Palestine came from, but I cant remember what it was about.

and both of those people are today called Palestinians, there is no such thing as isreal.

to see when isreal was created go to you tube and search “History of Palestine Part I”

cheers

the keffiyeh is the style nowadayz ..no one should find it offensive itz the truth n americans need to here the truth n stop bein israels puppets n do the right thing ..palestine needs to be free!!

Comment NO.69
You are so right, the canaanis were the first to reside palestine “5000 BC” so at first it was called “the land of canaan”, and the canaanis are considered as “the ancient arabs” , because they are the ancestors of many arabs, and untill now many palestinians have canaani roots.

Then, another people came from the island of crete “near cyprus and greece” and called “the palist”, so palestine was called with this name. When they came to palestine, they blended and mixed with the canaanis and became more like one people..The palestinian people.

and the people of palestine is a mix between many races like arabian, european,african,morrocan,mideterranian.,so you can find in palestine alot of skin colours and they all have resided palestine for hundreds of years,for example:i am palestinian and my hair is brown and my skin color is white, and you may find a palestinian that looks exactly like african people and he is originally palestinian.

another fact, islam isn’t a religion of terrorism but you should know that islam is the most perfect and peaceful religion i’ve ever seen..read Holy Quran and espically the verse that says :”The closest people to the muslims are the Christians”..were the hell is the terrorism..in islam you can’t kill a child, a woman, an old man or an old woman, a disabled, an unarmed man when you are in a war, even if they are your enemy..in islam you can’t cut off a tree!!!!you can’t kill and ant!!!!…islam is the religion of peace and check it on the internet.

finally, yes,it’s israel’s mistake, and im not talking about the jews. im talking about israel. because i respect the jewish religion. but i simply don’t respect the israeli goverment. palestinians get killed everyday, people in gaza are starving because of the israeli siege, so please don’t believe everything you see or hear..just check the internet from many references and see many points of view and im sure you will see that im not lying or brain-washed or anything,im just a palestinian muslim that was deprived from his homeland.

Peace

It is a shame that when everyone is so interested in sporting their fashion accessory of a palestinian scarf. No one takes a moment to actually realise that it has much greater significance as a symbol of an oppressed people.

Regardless, carry on being ignorant.
