Why were Bryan Ferry's comments odd? The Nazis were a bunch of frustrated art directors (they liked black, had read only one book and couldn't cope with criticism).

Hitler's only paid employment was as a designer of a series of deodorant posters. His best friend was an architect. The uniforms for the SS were designed by Hugo Boss. There is a thesis to be written about the link between fascism and design. But surely the Nazis' skill at branding is a good thing. The imagery of Nazism retains its power to shock, while the iconography of another, equally murderous philosophy developed a little further east casually appears on T-shirts at Camden Market. - Rory Sutherland
