How designers use the American flag in the name of fashion.
Editor’s Note: This story has been edited since it was first published on September 8, 2021. What’s more American than apple pie? Old Glory. Boasting 13 red and white stripes and 50 stars on a blue ground, the United States flag is a powerful symbol, used to express patriotism and sometimes protest. Fashion designers have used it in both these ways.
When the Belgian designer Raf Simons joined Calvin Klein, he looked at Americana with an outsider’s eye, and incorporated traditional quilt patterns and the work of Andy Warhol in his collections, one of which featured a skirt made of an American flag. Pyer Moss’s Kerby Jean-Raymond uses his collections as platforms to examine the Black experience in the United States.
