On campus we see a plethora of students with T-shirts with messages that range from "Don't you wish your Girlfriend was hot like me" to "Save Dafur". Which makes us question the power of fashion. Can clothes still be political?
In this modern age, where "Juicy Couture" rules how valid is it to have a shirt with a semi-serious message. Growing up I would idolize my older cousin's wearing the infamous "Che" shirts. Now it seems that the once the "Revolution" is over, Che is the new image for upper-middle class college students to show that "they know who Che Guevara is?
I do commend those who do wear their "heart" on their sleeves/torso, but when your beliefs start becoming a trend is the message still valid?
Viva la Revolucion!
