Comme des Garçons made the upsetting but ultimately unsurprising decision to engage in some pretty heavy handed cultural appropriation when styling the models for their men’s autumn/winter 2020 fashion show.
Walking the runway in Paris, the white models in the show wore cornrow wigs. Or, as Vogue.com’s Chief Critic Sarah Mower put it, “Odd braided wigs were set low on foreheads” (fashion people really don’t get it do they?). It should be noted that there were three black models walking in the show, one wore a wig while the other two wore their natural hair in twists. Because, you know, they didn’t need a wig to achieve the desired style.
