The article entitled "Peace Goods No Blood for Oil, and Other Fashion Statements" went on to say:
The fabulous surge of power and solidarity you feel when you attend a peace demonstration begins way before you get to the rally: It starts the minute you board the subway and see so many other people demo-bound too. There is nothing like the thrill of collective action, but if you're not wearing a symbol or a slogan somewhere on your body, how will everyone know you're headed to the same place they are?
After all, the function of clothes isn't merely to keep you covered and warm—it's also to tell the world, before you even speak, what crowd you run with. In a season when more and more citizens are taking to the streets, many for the first time, we searched the Internet for peace-themed merchandise, assuming that since the Web has been instrumental in building the movement so quickly, it would probably also offer a wide assortment of anti-war accessories.
The good news is, there is no lack of left-leaning merchandise online. The bad news? Most of the slogans and symbols have taken up residence on the T-shirt, an item whose ubiquity has rendered it, at least in fashion terms, more than a little boring.
Of course, there are people who wouldn't be caught dead with a patch but who nevertheless want the world to know which side they're on. (If it's truly a mass movement, there ought to be at least a few Dior coats and Manolo's in the crowd.) For these types, we recommend http://skystoneandsilver.com, a site that offers sterling silver peace sign pendant, rings, lapel pins, and for capitalists against the war, even a money clip.
These peace sign items are still as popular as ever and I am enjoying shipping them all over the world! Feel free to take a look at my designs and let me know what you think @
