"The fashion blackest history"

Maybe it's the "crisis" and companies are trying to save money by relying on Google translator rather than hiring someone who actually speaks English, but the English translations here are getting more and more amusing. A sign near the toaster at the breakfast buffet in the hotel reminds is that the machine "is only for roasting breads". One hotel promotes its "suspended beds, in which you feel like floating." Of course, we all have days when we feel like floating.

But this recent story in the Spainair inflight magazine wins the prize:

The fashion blackest history
Only a few colours have as many connotations as the black one. During the XVI and XVII Centuries, to dye the cloth of this colour was expensive and for this reason to wear a black dress meant status. Later, with the techniques of dying already mechanized and accessible to all pockets, the black cloth stopped to mean opulence and started to being used as a demonstration of grief. At the beginning of the 20th Century, the black entered in the wardrobes beyond the grief and attained its sublimation with Chanel "little black dress."

The story goes on to invite us to the special exhibit at the Mode Museum in Antwerp, and assures us that the exhibit is "illustrated with clothes, dresses, historical complements and pieces of present designers." It neglects to  inform us which designers were cut into pieces for what is surely a unique exhibit.
