Stripes boom in fashion industry.

After reading the book , The Devil's Cloth, stripes becomes more knowledgeable for me in fashion. According to the book, historically, in West, slaves and servants were dressed in stripes. However later on, stripes have taken on positive meanings like for example, we can see stripes on French and United States flags. In these flags, the stripes are represented as freedom.

Stripes also become iconic and trend in fashion industry. One of my best, favorite icon, known as an actor, artist, Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol's girl, I think she is the one of the ones who brought stripes in fashion industry. When I hear Edie Sedgwick's wear, firstly, she reminds me of stripe dress, a cigarette, big earrings, and stockings.

Just earlier, there was also a trend of pilot look: blue and white striped t-shirt or skirt with a captain hat on. In Korea, one of our singers which called Girl's Generation, they showed a pilot look and everybody liked it and also their look boomed in Korea during the summer.

I love stripes and they become a need item!
