The Politics Of Fashion
Everyone knows that clothes make the man. From the executive suits that litter Wall Street like the remnants of a ticker-tape parade to the coveralls and work boots worn by construction workers and mechanics, clothes tell the story of who we are and
where we're going. Even when the workday is done, what we choose to wear on our own time is still a reflection of our personalities. From the sweat-suit to the wet-suit, our clothes are meant to be not only functional, but forthcoming as well. Clothes tell others what we like, and often, how we spend our
time.
Sports franchise logos are constantly on display on Main Street America. T-shirts with well known television, film and music icons can be seen almost anywhere. Clothes have something to say, and people are beginning to realize that the
responsibility of being a walking billboard requires us to choose wisely.
Now, more than ever, politics are entering the realm of fashion. Blatantly political phrases and slogans are becoming more prevalent on the backs of the public than the bumpers of cars. There are even items of clothing that advertise specific
candidates or political parties and were actually purchased by someone, somewhere (not obtained as a door prize at a party fundraiser).
But what options exist for those who like a little subtlety with their agenda? Enter the merger of socially conscious art and clothing. Less politically charged and infinitely more fashionable, boutique clothiers have created garments that are the realization of the finite
balance between the message and the medium. Using art as the instrument of exchange and clothing as the canvas, these pioneers of significancy are providing people with a method of expressing themselves both in figure and in fact. What better way for entrepreneurs to meet the
demands of a public that is focused on reflecting a belief in both style and substance.

Preemie Clothes - ?Uh-oh, We Didn?t Plan For Preemie Clothes?
Premature babies are becoming a larger population. The increase in preemies is well documented, and the need for clothing is rising with the numbers. Staggering statistics show the growing demand for clothing.- 13% increase in preemies since 1992*- 1 in 8 U.S.babies are born preemies*- 1321 preemies are born every day*Sjona Lindquist, owner of www.BabyLinQ.com, knows unexpected premature babies dramatically and quickly change a parents world as perfect dreams are shoved aside and new memories are hastily crowded into a numb mind. "Parents aren't alone in the mad rush to find the clothing their infants need," says Lindquist (an authority in the clothing and product industry). Because these infants have so many other needs, this tremendously cuts down on time spent searching for, finding, and buying products.

A Brief History of Hip Hop Fashion
Hip hop clothes have become more and more popular, representing a fashion which is making a statement. As any other fashion trend, hip hop clothes have changed over the years and they have been adopted all over the world.
Hip hop clothes have been firstly worn by big hip hop stars like Run-DMC and LL Cool J in the 1980s. They were wearing big glasses, many rings, sneakers with ?phat' shoelaces. Big, gold necklaces and jewellery were also worn by other hip hop stars like Big Daddy Kane or Kurtis Blow. The haircut was another symbol of the hip hop trend: some singers were having Jheri curls; others had hi-top fade.
But the Black Pride movement was the most powerful trend of the hip hop culture in the ?80s. It was symbolized by dreadlocks, Africa chains and black-green-and-red hip hop clothes.
In the 1990s the hip hop music changed, therefore the hip hop clothes suffered some changes too. Some singers (The Fresh Prince or Left Eye of TLC) were wearing...
