The iconic peace sign is fifty years old and continues to look fabulous for its age. Gerald Holtom designed the symbol to represent Nuclear Disarmament by combining two Naval semaphore symbols: N for Nuclear and D for Disarmament and it has since come to represent peace and non-violence throughout the world. What’s so wonderful is that the symbol was deliberately never copyrighted by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) so it is available for free use worldwide. (Although, I’d like to encourage any commercial users to do the right thing and make a donation for its use to the CND.)
Today’s VPOD features Moschino’s vintage leather peace jacket from 1990. Buttery soft leather, zippers, a chrome buckle and loads of chrome studs combine to form a biker chic version of “Peace out!”
It’s a beautiful message from a vintage fashionista!
Available at Katy Kane Vintage & Couture Clothing.
