Marc Jacobs sent models down the runway with pastel-colored dreadlocks on the last day of fashion week, and everyone got pissed.
The designer was accused (by many) of cultural appropriation — he styled white modes in a historically black hairstyle and didn’t credit black culture as his source for inspiration. Yikes!
