{:en}Politics of Fashion – Five Instagram Streetwear Brands Doing It Right{:}{:de}Pop Art to Politics – Five Instagram Streetwear Finds{:}

It’s election year in the States and the sociopolitical climates is reaching a record breaking temperature. Popular culture can’t seem to demagnitize itself from a growing fixation with lips-for-eyes Trump memes and animated Hillzilla gifs. These internet hobby lobbies might not be the catalysts of revolution, but they are certainly inspiring our fashion choices. Street wear companies both large and small are catching on to the trends brought on by the political unrest of the internet. Here’s five street wear brands doing it right.

Vizionaries Clothing: @revolutionary_poets

“Raptivist” OddManOut and vegan poet Veronica Lugo are the creators of this small Oklahoma-based street wear brand which has relocated to the California area. 

ServedFresh: @servedfresh

ServedFresh is an iconic NYC-based street wear company with a few collections for the activist in us all. With Passion by Ty Hunter, United We Stand and the 4th Collection don’t shy away from the bold symbolism of the black lives matter movement in popular culture.

Antiest: @theantiest

“Wear Your Mind” is the slogan of this pestiferous-minded line of t-shirts. The Antiwear Collection includes newspaper headline-inspired t-shirts with images of our favorite Crooked Hillary, Agent Orange and Colonel Sanders.

8&9 MFG Co: @8and9

This Miami street wear company gets gangster with their stance on the current 2016 election. Pick the lesser of two evils? Motherfuxka, please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALLRIOT: @allriottshirts

Hailing from the UK, this consciously designed t-shirt brand is anything but meek. Their clothes inspire commentary on class struggle, nonviolent protest, and election coverage here in the U.S. and overseas. Also, who DOESN’T believe that Kissinger is Hillary’s bae?
