There are parallels between the Comme Des Garçons incident and one from 2015 - according to Lauren Indvik, fashion editor at the Financial Times - when a Valentino collection that was supposed to be a tribute to Africa featured predominantly white models and clothes made in Paris.
Her show in Marrakech was widely praised for its attention to detail - from employing an expert on African textiles to including benches with cushions embroidered by local weavers for guests to sit on."They did the research and worked with local artists and curators - who gave a series of talks at the show - so people could really understand and educate themselves," she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
"There wasn't the same visibility and awareness and dialogue around cultural appropriation years ago, but the internet has made it so much more visible," Lauren says. "I think there's now a focus on recruiting for diversity that probably wasn't there three or four years ago."Fashion editor Lauren Indvik says Ralph Lauren have had a successful diversity recruitment model in place for years
Does the rule against culture appropriation apply both ways? Ie if one group cannot dress like another, is the group that is offended not permitted to wear anything traditionally associated with the group that committed the offence?
CharlesMBlow Lacks creativity and insight.
There is one race on this planet title is the human race, so there is no such thing as cultural appropriation. How messed up must you be to find a hairstyle offensive
Is it cultural appropiation if you relentlessly copyright claim peoples videos that fall under fair use because Youtube let's you do it ? Or is it just theft ?
London media again. Meanwhile the rest of the country does not give a flying fuck.
BBC is left wing propaganda.
So I there a law that white people cant have dreadlocks?
nobody gives a shit about this cultural Marxists rubish
FFS more snowflake crap.
Nothing. And please ask Instagram influencers what they are doing about it as well!!
still talking bollocks I see
So if you want to portray cornrows, it has to be on a black person......But isn't that then racial stereotyping? As long as white people don't claim to be the originators of a style, what's the problem. Africans use European instruments to make music, and then call it MOBO....!
STOP RACE BAITING.
Cultural appropriation is a product of multi-culturalism. You want us all to mix but if whitey does it and makes money its racist?
Notice that all the outrage is when white people dare do anything thats considered 'black'. This is all to do with power and a deep rooted hatred of anything white! They want us to suffer and not enjoy anything while reaping the benefits of our societies.
Segregation, one would assume.
Just go away
BAN CLOTHES
Hi BorisJohnson when are you going to remove their licensing fee and make them pay their own way?
Nasty bitters you are 🐕💨
non-whites dressed in anything but their native garb is cultural appropriation...so there
From now on, white people must wear only cardigans, slacks, loafers, and keep their hair neat and trim. This BBC-certified look will bring decades of racial harmony.
Hopefully nothing, since it isn't real.
CharlesMBlow Thank you BBC for trying to enlighten people. These days, it seems, people are so hateful that they choose to be willfully ignorant, rather than learning why certain things are offensive to cultures that are not their own. Smh...
Nothing they do it cause people like u give them press for it stop giving them press
Oh shut up BBC; you’re just race baiting. It’s media like you that are responsible for our divided society
The BBC just LOVES talking about Cultural appropriation because the BBC is so WOKE!!!
I can’t believe that I have to pay your salary you absolute parasites.
CharlesMBlow 🙈
As a UK Armed Forces Veteran, I strongly object to the 'cultural appropriation' of my former 'cultural identity', my clothing and hairstyle for many decades. 🤔 That's about as genuine as any other cultural appropriation you can think of.
The sooner the government makes decriminalizing non payment of TV licence fee, the better..
Suprise suprise.. Leftys are offended by something else.
Hey kids (of all ages!) Today's lesson: There's.👏 No. 👏 Such. 👏 Thing. 👏 As. 👏 Cultural. 👏 Appropriation. 👏 It's a made-up word used by 'racial/ethno purists' who don't understand that culture, by definition, is alive and ever changing.
If people want to go out wearing their pyjamas, let them. Same with the ninjas.
So minorities constantly moan about being under represented, fashion tries to include minorities and they still moan.
I would have thought the BBC would have focussed on Paris riots ongoing ...?
What the actual F start reporting on the Russia report, start telling us why France is in full strike mode? What of the police investigation into election fraud, how about the consequences of Facebook allowing political ads that lie. You intentionally are diverting attention! Ffs
Utter bollocks, grow up for goodness sake.
Nonsense. Move on. 🙄
Someones triggered.....GET A LIFE
Woke is so last season
If you don't like it, don't buy it.
No mention of a Japanese fashion house using a French name, or does it only apply to PoC
Diversity is our strength yet everywhere there are cries of racist.
The same as the BBC did with the Black and White Minstrels, It ain't half hot mum etc.etc.
An I guilty of cultural appropriation every time I eat sushi? This nonsense really has to stop. No item of clothing or hair style is sacred. Life is far too short to pander to the easily offended. Just don't be a dick and have fun.
Surely these weren’t oversights on behalf of the designers, rather acts intended to create outrage to gain attention? Good and bad publicity seems to be worth the same these days.
Do bore off you, yah? The era of your woke race-baiting is over. BBCFakeNews ]defundthebbc
.... What culture is that on the left?!
Why when in this genre of showcasing invention & positives is it seen as derogatory rather than celebratory?
Not eating your enemies and behaving civilly IS cultural appropriation.
cultural appropriation does not exist
NO such thing as 'cultural appropriation.' There's only one culture - the Human Culture. It has many THEMES and all of us are entitled as one people, humans, to share and enjoy those themes.
Cultural appropriation is not a thing
CharlesMBlow The question is why do black entertainers and keep sporting and supporting these brands?
Today farted and almost followed through.
Cultural appropriation is like fat shaming and Santa Clause - they aren't real.
Seriously, why should we care. It's unimportant.
Why is cultural appropriation a bad thing? If something’s good why not share it?
this woke crap is so over. didn't you get the memo ?
Ha ha the actor told the truth about people like these.sad innit
Oh, lord.
hmmm this is meat and drink to the likes of Lawrence Fox . its a hairstyle.
Ignoring it because it isn’t a thing people should be getting upset about?
You mean... controlling it! FakeNews
It's SNOWING!
Making a list of who owns which garment , food type or music genre in itself would be racist. This is all ridiculous.
Pathetic
There is no such thing as 'Cultural Appropriation' - it's a fallacy of the WOKE!
CharlesMBlow Why do you keep referring to the fashion editor of the FT by her first name?
Cultural appropriation.... what a load of eyewash. Stop promoting this nonsense. Cultures don't own any particular fashion, it's open to everyone.
KyleWOrton
CharlesMBlow Not a damn thing apparently
Made up bollox, bore off.
Not sure why I follow bbc news 🙄
Yeah but.... Have your been noticing what has been happening in France for the past year? People in Blighty might have an expectation as a license payer to be kept informed by the State Broadcaster?
😂😂😂😂😂
It’s all b*llocks.
Yeah the latest cultural appropriation news. Designer says it was based on Egyptian headdress, but others claim corn rows & so they must be right then? Another designer takes inspiration from a Scottish island costume * thats fine. Funny how cultural appropriation is selective.
The whole of the West has been appropriated by the 3rd World thanks to traitors opening up our borders.
Rely on the BBC to magnify the shrieking of the woke.
No clothing design is owned by a culture. The lunacy continues
Cultural appropriation is bullshit, I believe anyone can dress and wear anything that they want, this just show how racist sjw are separating anyone by color, gender and race, we are one race human kind
It’s all publicity.
No such thing; cultural practices have always moved around between people.
What a load of rubbish So called cultural appropriation has been going on for many thousands of years Everything, food, clothing, architecture, art, hairstyles etc
Fashion ..... England was forever, an icon of good class and clothing. today is a PREVENTION, good taste, dress and whim.
Who f**king gives a banana 🦃
CharlesMBlow Fashion?
'And of God's signs is the diversity of your languages and your colors. In this are signs for those of knowledge.' (Quran chapter Romans 30:22)
Sadistic designer's fashion as become little less than prostitution!!! DISGUSTING. Defilement on Mankind
What is cultural appropriation, and why is it considered bad?
Wtf is cultural appropriation LOL What happened to imitation being the highest form of flattery?
Who wrote this shit!
No one cares...
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Woke culture
The way I recall it is that 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'.. That's as long as it's imitation and not mockery.
payattention whatsonyourclothesline clothesdomatter
If there is 'cultural appropriation', we all have something to give back which we copied from someone else! That's how we have learnt through history, by not reinventing the wheel. We appropriate something only when we use it as our own without credit or acknowledging the source.
So does that mean I am being racist when I buy and wear western clothing . Cuts both ways you leftwing bigots.
you think that Gucci sweater is cultural appropriation? giant cartoon lips on a oversized turtleneck. What culture is that? That shit is just racist.
You say 'cause offence'. They say 'get heaps of free advertising'.
My god !...what a mess the world is in.
There’s a difference between ‘cultural appropriation’ and racism through stereotypes. The Prada Balaclava on the left reeeeally wasn’t very well thought through, and is just plain racist. As for the corn rows etc It’s just a person with a hair style. No deeper meaning...
No such thing as cultural appropriation, stop peddling left-wing nonsense.
i think its time to stop apologizing to the woke outrage Mob . it achieves nothing and just makes them worse
I take it then you won't be repeating the black and white minstrel show on the BBC
What's wrong with 'cultural appropriation' and why are the BBC promoting it as a 'problem' exactly?
What a sight. 🙄
Nothing, it is not a thing, now bore off BBC
