To voice concerns about freedom in war-torn Serbia, Gligoric started printing unequivocal anti-war messages on t-shirts for his friends and family. The t-shirts were deemed to be "terrorist" by the government and landed Gligoric in jail. Once released, the anti-war artist joined forces with skateboarders, [street artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade) and others who share his passion. The in-your-face Carrot clothing brand is just two years old but is already recognized as a [lifestyle brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-to-connect-1) in over twenty countries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Anti-war Fashion:** There is a growing trend for fashion lines that focus on anti-war messages, providing an opportunity for designers and creators to incorporate socio-political activism into fashion. - **Activist Clothing:** The success of Carrot Clothing highlights a trend of activist clothing, where brands can create a platform to promote and support social causes. - **Street Culture Fashion:** The popularity of Carrot Clothing amongst skateboarders and street artists represents a trend towards fashion that captures the spirit of street culture. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** The rise of anti-war and activist fashion highlights opportunities for fashion industry leaders to include more socially responsible design and production processes. - **Art and Design Industry:** The intersection between fashion and art is becoming more prominent as artists and designers use clothing as a canvas for social and political commentary. - **Streetwear Industry:** The success of Carrot Clothing shows opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors interested in the streetwear industry to support brands with a strong activist message. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Farm-to-Table Lifestyle Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homegrown-collection.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md) - [Sustainable Indian Streetwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloveify.md) - [Punk History Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms.md) - [Activism-Focused Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeropostale-1.md) - [Bread-Branded Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warburtons-snacktive-wear.md) - [Whimsical Ethically Made Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iclothing.md) - [Peace-Resembling Dress Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-dress.md) - [Bakery-Themed Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/road-bread.md)
