This outfit was inspired by the protest movement called Occupy Wall Street (OWS). This movement was influenced by the protests that took place overseas in Egypt, Spain, and Israel in the beginning of 2011. These protests brought about change through a non-violent and civil resistant spirit.
OWS is a diversity group of activists who gathered together on September 17, 2011 in order to protest against the New York Financial District. The group is a “leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that we are the 99 percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent (http://occupywallst.org/).”
In this outfit, the combat boots are ready to march to the first of the protest. In-sync with the heart-lined stockings that spread love, peace, and life with each step one takes. The runs in the stockings are a reminder that love causes us to take action and move... Even though some times our bracelets can keep us hostage, it's never to late to speak up and bring about change.
Thank you everyone who is not afraid to "Voicie UR Protest"
and participating in OWS.
Best Wishes,
TIFFany
