Urban fashion has changed in that the uniform is not as concrete as it has been or probably ever will be. Meaning: there is a freedom to urban fashion and style that I never felt before as a teenager or as a college student or as a black person in a city where the black people are more community-oriented, more us vs. them-oriented, more This is What it Means to be Black-oriented.
People at work used to say that I dressed up everyday, but my clothes were not professional. Sometimes my shirts were crinkled. Sometimes my tights were torn. Frequently, I wore pairs of shorts that without tights would make me feel exposed and unfortunately vulnerable in the way that only develops in the early moments of summer. What they meant, I think, was that I dressed for myself. I dressed for me. I like what I like and that is that: a high-waist, a soft blouse, and those one or two items so strange that only a few relish in their beautiful-ugly.

tell me how in any way appropriation is a bad thing. seriously, tell me. because it seems to me that copying a behaviour is the highest form of flattery, it means that you want to be that person, that you appreciate their talent/skill so much that you want to try your hand at it. don’t hate because they can’t do it, celebrate because they want to.

Interesting.
Despite the overall positive trend, there were still a number of shows that were not very diverse. Eight brands — Araks, Brood, Calvin Klein, Elizabeth & James, Louise Goldin, MM6 Maison Martin Margiela, See by Chloé, and The Row — had zero models of color. Their casts were entirely white. That’s around 6% of all shows. (In 2007, according to published reports, one-third of the shows at NYFW had all-white casts.) Additionally, there were 31 shows and presentations that had three or fewer models of color. That’s more than 20% of all shows.
