Peter Gronquist has designed weapons labeled with different famous designer brands like Chanel, Gucci, Versace, Dolce & Gabanna, etc. The artist himself thinks that today people will put a designer label on nearly anything to look and feel awesome, so he wanted to make fun of it in a way .
Gronquist says that he “Really just wanted to make something completely ridiculous”. The design-labeled weapons are everything from guns to bombs, even chainsaws. They have become so popular that movie character “Bruno” showed up at his own premiere in Los Angeles with a shining Chanel RGP.
Weapons have inspired others, like this Dutch artist who is, among other things, making crystal chandeliers shaped like weapons.

That’s crazy, but i like the Burberry one.
Craig says
I wonder why they use so many SKS rifles. Or how they fit an AK mag into a Yugo m59-66 model.
shane says
almost makes me wanna be a pimp just to own one of them
Stebo says
i like the black gucci one. hell why not be fashionable while you’re robbing a bank?
and stop being so damn technical. it’s art
DaBigStyleZPoppaG says
Clearly these designers knew nothing about what the shooting public considers a ‘desirable’ weapon. They use gold on an SKS. If that’s not sad enough, they just switch out the stocks and try to pass it off as being different guns. A fucking SKS?! FAIL!!!!!
Sad also is fact the fucking Mossberg is the 2nd coolest gun here, and we all know Mossbergs generally suck choad. FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!11!!1!!!!!
Thompson? WIN!!!! Coolest gun here
Everything else is fake & gay!
ozoneocean says
LOL!
The artist is on! 😀
Put a designer name on any gaudy, crude and idiots think its stylish. This was brilliantly done.
Loic says
you’d think that people would want to pimp out nice expensive guns instead of surplus shit SKS.
I mean its not even that iconic of a gun,you’d think that the designer would go with a gun that has more of a cultural cache like the AK-47
What a great scam, buy some surplus chinese rifles at $140 a pop and skin them with various designer logos and sell it for 10 times the price!

No AR15? Lame.
spectral says
Kind of missing the point here guys – the point is to make some ridiculous art that pokes fun a designer brands. And why would he want to ruin a bunch of high-end expensive rifles? You can tell many of them are airsoft. (The SKS is a damn fine rifle for a reasonable, albeit increasing, price.)

You haven’t seen nothing, in Mexico the army found and secured 31 guns with gold and diamond incrustations, unfortunately there were owned by lords of drugs who they found in US a great place to make money, sorry, the true hurts…
Anathame says
My heart almost stopped when I saw the M60. Medium machine guns? <3
Refugee says

leg avenue fancy dress says
Yeah, let’s just put a designer label on a gun so we can charge out the ass for those too.
Dave says
I realize designer guns are supposed to be a ‘joke’, but I wonder how Versace, a victim of gun violence, would feel about his name being used this way?
