Stella McCartney disappoints African fans
Stella McCartney disappointed African fans by releasing the African print collection at the Paris Fashion Week.
The English fashion designer picked for a rather controversial fashion style, blending African prints with modern fashion. Her design choice did not go down well with some Africans, who took to social media to question her actions.
The Paris Fashion week has seen inspired works from award-winning fashion designers as style influencers and fashion lovers watch models walk the runway in glamorous collections.
The brand infused ankara designs into their new collection to create dresses, jumpsuits and tops, that look a lot like what our favorite aunties wear casually around the house or to run errands. Many of these items could very easily be sewn by your local tailor in, let’s say, Lagos, Dar es Salaam, Dakar or Accra for less than a quarter of the cost.
To add insult to injury, they presented these designs on a group of mostly white models. Folks are understandably angry. We’re all tired of this occurring time and time again. Folks have been airing out their frustration via Twitter.
Earlier this year, the brand received some backlash from Nigerians who believed that they had misrepresented the country.
