#fashion #badgley mischka #spring 2023 #ready-to-wear #scopophobia #this collection was inspired by how colorful morocco is when they visited #this seems like a good time to revisit my designer inspo policy! #if a designer is inspired by another country/culture and it's something broad like 'i liked the colors!' i think that's okay #but if it's something specific like 'i like the tiles in moroccan mosques so i'm going to turn them into a pattern and use it in dresses' #that feels appropriative to me #some designers (and i'm thinking of say maria chiuri at dior) do have specific inspos but will work in combination with people from the coun #country/culture in ways that feel more like an appreciation and which often benefits artists/designers/artisans #and in that case i will sometimes feel okay posting the collection #but if the designer's manifesto or actual collection feels at all appropriative or (sometimes blatantly!!) racist they don't show up here #and some designers are perma-banned from this tumblr for racism #all that said if i ever post a collection like this with this kind of explanation of why i thought it was okay #and someone reaches out to say it isn't #i will issue a correction and take the post down! #i am totally open to being wrong #anyway sorry badgley and mischka #didn't mean to make an example of you OR DID I #go back to designing dog clothes to go with your actual clothes
