MLK-THE TRUE FASHION ICON

Martin Luther King Jr. is really a fashion icon. He possesd a classic exclusive items that will never go out of style before anyone else did. He is actually rather innovative when you think about it. He was wearing this when it was unheard at the time. At a time when many thought he looked crazy and ridiculous. Like many fashionista after him he disregarded the negative criticism about what he was walking around with and chose to believe that in the near future everyone would have on what he believed to be essential to every ensemble. And like many fashionista he new that people were stuck into the trend at the moment but a day would come that things would change.He really stood out in the fashion world because he was a black man pushing the enevlope. Telling whites that they were so last season and so tacky. Forcing them to see what they had on was just simply ugly. He new the risk of telling the whole world that what they were accustomed to was no longer cute. But he risked his life to let people know they were walking around looking a hot mess. I guess he was kinda like the Stacy London and Clinton Kelly (what not to wear) of the day. But he took that risk just to introduce people to his dream about hope and equality. He shared with everyone that the ability to see past skin color is the most beautiful thing you can posses. And racism was as ugly as a matching denim acid wash outfit. So thank you Dr. King for believing in equality, daring to dream a big dream and making hope fierce before firece even exsisted.
