Do Graphic T-shit slogans go to far?

I found it really interesting to learn this week that JC Penny yanked a graphic t-shirt off its website after public outrage that it sent out the wrong message. The shirt reads, “I’m too pretty to do my homework so my brother has to do it for me,” and caused uproar by consumers who claimed that it sent out the wrong message to girls.

Fashion so good you can taste it

I’ve seen some interesting things done in the fashion world, and nothing has intrigued me more than fashion inspired by food. Joy Campia Joy Campia is an artist who focuses on particularly crocheted sculpture and wearable art. None of the wearable art she creates is mass-produced, and due to the one-of-a-kind nature of each piece, they are quite pricy. The food dresses (the hamburger dress … Continue reading Fashion so good you can taste it
