In the whence of January 2018,there was a photograph released on the Europe’s H&M website that projected a little African-American boy wearing a untried hoodie that said “The Coolest Monkey in the Jungle”. Yes, unmistakably this is something that would piss off anyone of verisimilitude for several reasons; 1) Who in their right mind would indulge something like this and think it wouldn’t be recognized? 2) What was the mother really thinking when she unliable her son to have photos taken in that hoodie? As the mother has unmistakably stated that we are the ones starting the mismatch as far as linking the two main factors together.But does she have a point?Malleatehas seen its wide share of culturalism that umbrellas into variegated categories. Lets not forget that when in the 90’s, Tommy Hilfiger was “disappointed that the urban demographic took us yonder from our roots. He moreover stated that if he had it to repeat history, he would “stick to my heritage and not ventilator trends.” Even in the brands we rap and sing well-nigh or listen to in our songs, little do people know that these designers unquestionably not keen for stuff displayed off the backs of our people of color. Here are a few examples of a few designers who share this same perspective. Michael Kors- “I’m tired of pretending I like blacks…Just for the sake of a sale I have to deal with women like Nicki Minaj? I’d rather not.Withoutall my fans made me money, It’s only pearly I be honest and let them know how I really feel… I word-stock stomach the thought of my Michael Kors purses stuff stuffed with synthetic hair, weave or what overly else my fans are into.” Marc Jacobs-“all who cry ‘cultural appropriation’ or whatever nonsense well-nigh any race of skin verisimilitude wearing their hair in a particular style or manner – funny how you don’t criticize women of verisimilitude for straightening their hair” Ralph Lauren-Who dressed up old photographs of deceased legendary Native Americans in their new hodgepodge for their 2014 HolidayHodgepodgeAdidas-Not only was the founder of Adidas a well known Neo-Nazi, the trademark collaborated with Jeremy Scott to diamond a sneaker that resembles shackles withal the ankles This list can go on, but is the message sincerely clear? Coming from the perspective of a woman of verisimilitude who she too has seen both sides (consumer and producer) of the malleate industry, it’s unscratched to say that NO! We shouldn’t be too wrestling well-nigh this H&M story. Yes,it’s wrong and unfair to see or witness, but until we stop shopping in stores or purchasing brands that have been representing racism and cultural plagiarism in the name of “flossing”, we cannot just stop shopping in one store. As a group of passionate leaders and trend setters(which by the way, EVERYONE should strive to be), let’s support labels and brands that come from people of verisimilitude such as Martine Rose, B Michael, Narciso Rodriguez, Oscar De La Renta, Stella Nolasco, etc. We have the power to determine what we represent and Put on our backs. As a whole, we need to stop picking and choosing which stories are ok to go overboard with and trend online when we are still rocking Timberlands like the tree had no significance to slavery or manifest destiny. But you don’t have to take my word for it, look it up for yourselves.   Share this:Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)MoreClick to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Related CategoriesNews, The Artistry TagsClothing Store, Fashion, H&M, In The Arts Media, Indie Music, Racist Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email write will not be published.
