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!
And all who cry “cultural appropriation” or whatever nonsense about any race of skin color wearing their hair in a particular style or manner – funny how you don’t criticize women of color for straightening their hair. I respect and am inspired by people and how they look. I don’t see color or race- I see people. I’m sorry to read that so many people are so narrow minded…Love is the answer. Appreciation of all and inspiration from anywhere is a beautiful thing. Think about it.
Oh, what a disappointing answer. Jacobs definitely has some explaining to do.
Chloe Bailey first rose to prominence as one half of the iconic R&B duo Chloe x Halle, along with her sister Halle Bailey. The sisters have also demonstrated they are more than capable of captivating the world with their solo career. Chloe sets herself apart by her distinct vocal style, heartfelt lyrics, and genre-defying sound
