Fashion and politics

Fashion can be a powerful communication tool, it has occupied an important place in social changes and has been a faithful reflection of political differences, urban styles and cultural revolutions. For example, the ties of the Democratic candidate for President of the United States, Tom Steyer, have already been the subject of searches and tweets in his country, and with the U.S. elections, just around the corner, we certainly expect more styling with political messages in 2020.
