In case you missed it, we previously featured a book on our blog and in our store called The Devil's Cloth, which explained the history of striped clothing and its association with all things bad.
Obviously, a lot has changed since medieval times, but the use of stripes by people with rebellious natures has not. Diana Ross, Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, Bill Murray, The Talking Heads, Basquiat, Warhol – our heroes all wear stripes.
