not in our namei-D magazine, the action issue, june 2003

the following section is dedicated to peace and a future that does   not rely on bombs, tanks and guns to solve the problems of the world.
the idea for this project started during fashion week in new york,   with tanks at heathrow, helicopters over manhattan and peace marches   planned across the world for the following saturday. it seemed that we   had to do something; that however small our contribution, we had to   stand up and be counted, to lend our voices to the growing consensus of   dissent – because the truth is that if we silent, it can only be   presumed that we acquiesce.
we wanted to be a conduit for creative people internationally who   disagree with war. so we sent out the following brief: ‘let us know your   views, your message, your image and your ideas in whatever way you  want  to. we suggest using a white shirt or t-shirt as a canvas, and  would  ask you to be photographed with it if you don’t mind, but you do  not  have to.’
