- <p> The American flag is not only a burning issue these days but
- also a hot fashion statement. Designers are slapping Old Glory
- on everything from barrettes to bikinis. After his $300
- stars-and-stripes sweater sold out last fall, Ralph Lauren
- created three-spangled swimsuits that are moving briskly at up
- to $72. Saks Fifth Avenue's New Glory shirt ($57.50) sold out
- just in time for the Fourth of July. The shirt's success might
- have surprised Abbie Hoffman. The late yippie was once charged
- with flag desecration for wearing a shirt like Saks' best
- seller.
