The 'Ev Bravado' debut collection is filled with political satire that would infuriate many Republicans. One of Donald Trump's popular slogans, "Make American Great Again," is turned on its head by the NYC-based fashion brand. The new line titled 'Make America Suck Again' is a clear opposition of Trump's campaign.
The gritty street fashion line has six pieces that have controversial words or symbols emblazoned on them. Tie-dyed cotton shirts come with a disheveled eagle in the center encircled by the words "Make AmeriKKKa Suck Again," -- a play on the racial issues that are surround the Republican campaign. A denim parka shows a grim reaper in cloaked in the American flag and has the word "God Less America" stitched into the back.
With its aggressive political statements, Ev Bravado's collection is both timely and well targeted towards youth street culture -- positioning it as a buzz-worthy brand.
