On Friday, the nation celebrates Flag Day, yet at the mall it seems the celebration has begun early.

After 236 years, Old Glory is trendy; the Stars and Stripes adorn every surface imaginable, from stilettos to denim shorts to sunglasses.

At Express, sequins composed the flag on a tube top; at Old Navy, stars and stripes show up on swim trunks.

A black-and-white vintage version appears on a shirt from Jessica Simpson’s clothing line. Teenyboppers will find red, white and blue skirts and T-shirts featuring hearts instead of the classic stars at Justice.

Some might find the look disrespectful or distasteful, but it’s not breaking any rules.

Josh Saterman, vice president fashion director at Macy’s, says patriotism has always been en vogue. “It’s fun, and it speaks to the larger trend of pride for our country,” he says of the iconography.

“The flag can be worn in so many different ways, and each demographic, region, climate zone and individual can play with which silhouettes and details speak to them the most.”

Designers tend to play around with the pattern as well. Betsey Johnson features the flag in many of her line’s accessories, replacing the stars with grommets and rhinestones. Her “Americana” collection includes iPhone and iPad cases, wallets and handbags.

Arlene Goldstein, vice president of trend merchandising and fashion direction for Belk, says the flag design has been a tradition in fashion for a long time. This year, the flag’s popularity has slightly increased, as it “coexists” with this season’s stripe trend,There are numerous diversified high heels at christian louboutin shoes for sale. she says.

Another reason for the spike in flag paraphernalia: In the summertime, “people become more overt with their patriotism,” Goldstein says. Holidays like Memorial Day and Independence Day are prime time for patriotic dressage. The most popular articles of clothing sporting the Stars and Stripes are T-shirts, she says.

Designers who frequently display their American pride in their lines include Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren.All kinds of replica designer handbags in our online store sells at Wholesale price, welcome to buy top quality replica handbags in our online store!!!

Designer shoes sound appealing, as do designer handbags, eyeglasses and even interior paint. But what about designer cars? For some drivers the idea may hark back to the Disco era of the 1970s, when designers like Bill Blass and Givenchy put their names on kitschy Lincoln Continentals.

But according to Italian car maker Fiat, shoppers are clamoring for them.

The company is bringing back the Gucci edition of the 500, or Cinquecento, a subcompact car designed to compete with the BMW Mini Cooper, Volkswagen Beetle and other small, stylish “statement” vehicles. The move, Fiat said, “brings two of Italy’s most respected brands together for an encore.”

Fiat previously rolled out the Gucci model in 2011, shortly after the introduction of the 500 model,In comparison with other high heels,christian louboutin boots,louboutin shoes,christian louboutin men,cheap christian louboutin will bring unique feeling to you. which was new to the U.S. market.
