Occupy Wall Street, the Fashion Trend
MYFOXNY.COM - The scene at Zuccotti Park may look like a scene from a Nirvana video circa 1991, but some people are calling occupiers trendsetters. Some of the grungy looks are wacky, others demure. Some people are taking notice. Most occupiers we spoke to get their goods from comfort, a tent that distributes donated clothes and accessories. Others in the park are making occupy t-shirts and bracelets. But Latoya Drake, a fashion expert, says the so-called Zuccotti look isn't that inventive. It's been done before--most celebrated in the mid 90's--but even more recently by top designers such as Alexander Wang.
"When we think of downtown chic they already have this uniform," Drake says. "It's the combat boots, the flannel shirt, a sweater over it." Even some who aren't part of the movement came to check out the park, unwittingly dressed in their OWS best. They say "the look" is indicative of the Zuccotti environment.
Clothing companies are also getting in on the Occupy Wall Street phenomenon. Century 21, just steps away from the park, says they have "fashion worth fighting for." They're not the only one looking to capitalize on the movement.
"Daily Candy for instance sent out their daily email asking people to 'occupy these sales and trends,'" Drake said. "Another online store, Apart Style, wants you to 'occupy' their leather jacket. So we're seeing people use the Occupy language to extend their brands as well."
Love them or hate them, there's no denying the Occupy grunge looks are as diverse as the movement. Read more: http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/occupy-wall-street-the-fashion-trend-20111111#.Tr3viYvr6qQ.blogger#ixzz1dSee6l3f
Occupy Wall Street Fashion/Jay-Z Selling ‘Occupy All Streets’ Tee Under Rocawear Label; Proceeds Won’t Benefit Occupy Wall Street (99% Problems…)
The ‘Occupy All Streets’ T shirt was created in support of the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. ‘Occupy All Streets’ is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.

Occupy Wall Street / Martha Stewart
Act
ually, I didn't present a current issue in the class, becasue my theme was heavy for us. However, we should know the one of world issues, 'Occupy Wall Street'. After graduation, we will work in the real field, and become the one of 99%. I think designer should catch the design movement and read the world issue. The issue is not only NY. Today, over 80 countries involve in this demonstration.
2 sites present Occupy designs and sell items.
They have some imppressive visual things.

.Aticle from Occupy Wall Street
Note: This is obviously an ongoing event and this page will be going through constant editing and revision. On September 17th, men and women of all races, backgrounds, political and religious beliefs, began to organize in nonviolent protest. These men and women represent the 99% with the goal of ending the greed and corruption of the wealthiest 1% of America. Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless resistance movement which began as a call to action from Adbusters, a Canadian-based anti-consumerist organization.
The original projections for the protest were to be between 20,000–90,000 participants. However, when only a little over a thousand protestors showed up the first day, it was labeled a bust. In the days to follow, more and more people have joined the protestors as they spend day and night in Liberty Square.
I link 'martha stewart website'.
It gives many holiday ideas, images and crafting templets for the 2nd studio design project .
It is very useful for design projects.

TYLER THE CREATOR/ ODD FUTURE/ FUNKY HIP HOP REVIVAL
Tyler the Creator is the leader of the hip hop collective Odd Future. The band is made up of under 21 year olds from California who have some great style. I can definitely see the funky hip hop trend returning like the days of Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff. Hip hop these days is so serious, too full of studio rappers. Anyway, kids and hipsters alike love Odd Future and i think they have a style to watch!
