Model Behavior (PLEASE READ POST #1 BEFORE POSTING)

[Lax89]

The point is black and white women are percieved differently, a white woman can do whatever she wants with her hair and still be acceptable to society whereas black women must perform more feminity (i.e. straight hair) in order to be seen equally.

Its true to say braids were invented and used by others, but they are not percieved the same way and there lies the difference and THATS why white women should not do any black hair styles such as corn rows or dreads IMO

But the women in the comments always bring up the issue of getting a job or even an interview for a job. Sorry to burst your bubble but a white woman with dreads or cornrows won't get more chance than a Black woman, just because she's white. Just like you wouldn't get a job if your whole appearance is not professional.

Anyway, I read the wikipedia page (don't judge me) for cornrows and it turns out Roman women used that hairstyle as well. So fighting about who invented hairstyles first is silly like the origin of the french fries : is it the French ? Is it the Belgian ? Who knows ? 2 different stories originating in 2 parts of the world. Maybe 2 people invented them.

Why can't hairstyle be part of our common culture as a human race ? We are all born with hair.

We have a famous Trisha in the UK as well and for a split second I thought you spoke about her. Yeah, yeah, making it about me again, lol. Was thinking 'Trisha Goddard wouldn't hurt a fly, why such harsh comments?' Oh well, it's a Youtuber. And it seems she's trying to score br.... approval points, which in today's climate is like taking candy from a child.

LOL YouTuber Trisha Paytas is a treat— to say the least. She’s Taco Bell in human form.

Benn, I’m used to some being immediately dismissive to any criticisms of political correctness and the cultural appropriation accusations as “ignorant”. And God forbid, I come after a Black woman espousing such a sensitive topic. So to them, it’s easier to label me as ignorant/racist/bigoted, etc etc. It’s so much easier to paint a world where it’s Black vs White/ Left vs Right/Men vs Women than make any effort to understand and come together, with all our differences and even disagreements.

It’s petty and creating segregation, strife, and further division over hairstyle. If you travel to the more remote provinces, and regions of the world, in Northern China, to the mountain regions of Iran, there are people that are an inspiring vision of multiculturalism: It’s a fusion of races, ethnicity, and even religions coexisting peacefully. And “hairstyles” and “fashion accoutrements” of various cultures and religions all blending in beautifully together, without any loss of identity of who they are as a people. It’s beautiful and inspiring.

The younger generation of Westerners whom are the most vocal of cultural appropriation, need to get their heads out of their ***es and see, and understand the rest of the world, and like Lola pointed out, the more important issues that are facing minorities than cultural appropriation. It’s such a petulant, entitled juvenile squabble over what “hairstyles” and “fashion accoutrements” belong to whom, and no one can touch it unless they’re that race/ethnicity/religion… and that’s not petty and ignorant????

you're implying then that cornrows or dreads aren't? you are stating the problem yourself lol there are much more blackwomen with these hairstyles...how are they unprofessional? how does your hairstyle reflect your capabilities as a person? Yeah of course comparing the issue of the beginning of french fries is the same as racism, of course

You are twisting my words and putting words in my mouth.

When I imagine dreads, I'm sorry but this is far from a professionnal hairstyle for interviews. You can't prove me wrong. As for cornrows, it depends how they are styled.
Let's get the example of Kendall's recent cornrow style. Would you go to an interview with a hairstyle like that ? I doubt that. So don't say "how does your hairstyle reflect your capabilities as a person?" in a condescending way. You can have these hairstyles after you get the job if your boss is ok with that. I have a friend who didn't have dread before his interview and now he does, and his boss seems ok with it. Anyway, let's not pretend that in the fashion world they don't judge you on your personal appearance during interviews. That would be hypocritical.

I knew that when I compared french fries and hairstyles someone would twist my words and call me racist. If it makes you sleep better at night then good for you.
I compared the INVENTION of hairstyles with the invention of french fries. That's all. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING RACIST about that. I was just implying that 2 people can have the same idea at the same time or in different periods. There was no internet / social media / patent office back then in the Middle Ages or during Antique Times to spread your invention Now it is easier to claim "ownership"/"appropriation" of something in a legal way.

Sorry for the delay... But I came to talk about Gisele, as a Brazilian I was very disappointed that she was silent about Bolsonaro, even more about a subject she says she cares so much, but I can't deny that it doesn't surprise me because at the time from elections she didn't speak nothing and several other things related to her made me have another idea about her. I've always found this nature advocate speech very superficial, she's a bit snobby with some models, then I read an interview from her former manager and he said she's not what she shows to the press, which made things worse it was the rumor of her being maid of honor of another Brazilian model and the groom cheated on his bride with Gisele, finally it was with Bolsonaro, I can't fake it anymore!

Where did I say you were racist? I DID say t hat comparing the origin of french fries to the origin or these braids/raicism IS quite insulitng (since it's not like people are dying because of this like, oh I don't know, colored people because of racism????)....of course people will judge you based on your looks in the FASHION INDUSTRY, which is the precise reason I did not continue to study marketing and fashion. The reason I say this is because I believe others should NOT judge you based on your looks since they do not reflect your capabilities as a person! So equating braids/dreads to unprofessionalism is quite retrograde. But if that is how you think than I do not intend to persuade you otherwise.

While I sympathise with Adut, I don't really get this post. As in, what's the intent? Because the way I see it all that will take place is the public shaming of Who magazine (surprised not to see a bunch of venting comments over this matter underneath their tabloid fodder about tawdry soap opera stars and 'baby bump' speculation on Instagram.) Adult needn't worry because this is not a fashion demographic. Now if it was Vogue, Elle or a supplement, different story.
In their defense, the crummy rag apologised likely after she pointed out their mistake. What more can now be done, and how will this 'conversation' take place?

im not understanding your comment. you understand her point but don't know why she posted it? she clearly states exactly why she did it. even though the magazine privately apologized, can she not bring more awareness to the issue and let her fans and whoever may be picking up this magazine that she wasn't okay with this? its happened countless of times on different publications where black models/celebs are mis-named by whoever the caucasian PR girl thats IDing them.

As for Adut, im sure she has been mistaken even in person for another black model and im positive this was the straw that broke the camel's back. she has every right

 

[Phuel]

^^^ Awareness of what, exactly…??? That people need to be more diligent at their research so her ego isn’t bruised? … Because if this is about accusations of racism, then my God— there are other more important issues than her ego being bruised because a tabloid rag, with likely an intern/junior who was rushed at their job made a mistake of identifying Adut with another similar looking model? Like Benn said— it’s not Vogue/ELLE/Bazaar that misidentified her, it’s some tabloid rag. The deadlines on these rags are even more insane than the typical ones of a monthly publication. I’d roll my eyes at the incompetence of a tabloid staff if I were her, and move on with my life as a top model. I’ve had employers/clients graze through my work and asked if the Asian model in the print happened to be me… I’m flattered to be mistaken for a model— but I really don’t look like that model if they bothered to look a tad closer. No need to cry racism...

These things happen to everyone. Black models/individuals are not the only ones mistaken for one another. Just like all the Emmas in Hollywood blend into one another for me— and even the famous Asian models are hard for me to tell part from time to time. I suppose I’m racist to everyone— or just human.

I'm not sure what she went through but Magdalena posted this a few days ago :

 

[perfect blue]

I saw that too. I'm glad she is better now.

 

[modela]

Im confused ? She says it has nothing to do with plastic surgery but the clinic is i believe a plastic surgery clinic.?Unless she had implants and they were leaking ?

Plastic surgery is not always cosmetic, which I think is what she meant...But as we know she does have implants, so the above seems likely yes. Hope she has recovered well.

A French comedian, Marie S'infiltre sneaked on the Chanel runway this morning and Gigi Hadid tried to get her out (second video) :

 

[dodencebt]

I had no idea they were paying Gigi to be a security guard as well.

 

[Marc10]

God I can't stand these "pranksters". Gigi was epic lol

 

[Benn98]

I had no idea they were paying Gigi to be a security guard as well.

Lmao! Can't stop laughing reading this while watching that video.

Gigi isn't doing the ''right' thing, I think what we are seeing here is a perfect example of white knight complex (nothing to do with race, for the record). It's his need to 'rescue' us poor, defenceless creatures who are not able to stand up for ourselves. I mean, why take it upon herself to deal with the prankster? Especially when security isn't dealing with the problem?

Also, look at the girls gathering around to back Gigi. They look like they're about to woop that prankster's ****. There's something slightly off-putting about that scene, regardless of the prankster.

 

[Cas95]

Yikes I know that what the comedian did wasn’t ‘right’ or funny. But to me Gigi looks like high school queen bee kicking the unpopular girl out of the lunch room. Not a good look

 

[Valentine27]

The prankster did the same at Etam and the whole scene is even longer and just weird to watch. Absolutely no one came after her. Security is seen in every corner of such an event, yet when the show is happening, it's nowhere to be seen? There's another video where two security guards are actually struggling going along the runway, looking vainly for the girl. Anyway it's clearly not Gigi's job to do it but she always seems like she's ready to stand up for herself.

 

[cestmagique]

Gigi's response was weirdly aggressive looking. The woman kind of went with the flow and didn't cause a big scene like some others, so I can't summon any concern about her 'prank' really.

 

[kenndale]

The lady was beyond rude and trying to make the moment about her, which is wasn't. Gigi wasn't putting up with it, but I'd hardly call it aggressive.
