Explosion Print Shirt: Fashion or Faux Pas?

(Christopher Kane Explosion T-shirt, $220 at FarFetch.com) After the war started, it wasn’t uncommon to see bumper stickers, canvas totes, and T-shirts with messages of peace scribbled all over, which makes me wonder if this Christopher Kane shirt is appropriate for the time we’re living in.
