ζ DIOR ζ Spring 2017

Super marketable sporty-ballet-hip hop-fairy-lingerie-prom collection

The branded elastic is a very smart move, taking Dior consciously into a "young urban" direction

(slightly a Wang knock-off, but each of our lives is a patchwork of knock-offs, get used to it)

Haha that looks like it wants to say "Wank-off"

Boxer sneaker boots 

Love the vintage-thermal hi-waisted underpants. 

It's kinda 'Nu-kinderwhore' or something.

Quilted Leather Top - reminds me of a Fencer's chest protector

Fencing outfit

Fencing-like pants

Kevlar Vest-like Bodice Tops

It's reminiscent of the beloved Vionnet - spring 2015 collection:

A Détacher ````` 2017

I like it. 

I've got a weakness for white mesh.

Cool, understated chain suspenders.

Meshy cardigans are cool

Informed Appropriation: Fashion vs. Politics

Chanel - 2012 Couture

Outrage directed at the world of Fashion - a place meant for fantasy & fun -

only displaces efforts in the fight against racism.

Being inspired by another culture is not wrong.

Innocent civilians getting shot in the street without justice is wrong.

Chanel - 2012 Couture

Yes, it is important to be respectful & informed of the historic / cultural / 

religious connotations behind what you wear.

 But being Open-minded is what empathy & equality are all about.

Fashion & Art don't belong to one race.

Chanel - 2012 Couture

Let's not water down the purpose of the BLM movement when

non-discriminatory cultural appropriation Is possible. 

It's called fashion.
