why are people acting like the collection is supposed to depict (contemporary) black women?
what's so inherently wrong with using historic imagery as art?

someone always wants to play the victim

i couldn't even picture someone wearing this off the runway let's be honest now

Most runway stuff aren't meant to be wore off the runway anyways

well, because lots of historic imagery is racist. I could pull up some real "cute" historic anti-semitic iconography of hook nosed Jews and the like, and it would still be racist.

the thing is though, the collection is about Moors, and the images created were not meant as harmful or caricatures, like the iconography associated with slavery etc.
The Moors used similar images as heraldry, something they were proud of

SMH @ all the ignorance in this post. You guys do realize that racism doesn't always mean KKK, cross burning, lynching stuff? Racism is usually nuanced, with many different levels. Also to the idiot that brought up the" race card", if there were no racism, there would be no "race card". If you're not black, you don't get to decide what's racist or offensive to black people. SMH @ all the black people in this post co-signing this mess.

If you're not offended by it, fine. And I'm not saying that just black people should see this as racist, everyone should see it as racist. Don't make proclamations about my "mindset" because you know nothing about it.

I'm saying obviously bad things, like racism, should be viewed as bad by decent people.

Insensitive? Yes...

Racist? I wouldn't agree.

I don't need to make proclamations about your mindset when it's pretty clear in your original post

what classifies a "decent" person???

This is reminds me of when Adidas released those sneakers with chains on them. The old bitches at my church were talking about getting the company shut down and everything.

Well some of us don't think it's racist. If it had racial slurs and other obvious things like that on it, I'd view it as racist and be against it. It'd in poor taste, but I don't think it's racist.
