Cultural Appropriation: Louis Vuitton Turns The Maasai Cultural Garments Into A Fashion Trend.

Описание к видео Cultural Appropriation: Louis Vuitton Turns The Maasai Cultural Garments Into A Fashion Trend.

Reneilwe Morema reports on Louis Vuitton and other fashion brands Stealing significant design patterns from African Cultures for their runway fashion shows without compensating or acknowledge the culture.
Louis Vuitton has again met with criticism this time from the Maasai people , after turning the culturally significant Shuka robe/blanket, into the latest fashion trend for men. For the Maasai people, the blanket signifies a sacred ritual and normally does not go for more the R1,000 ($77) much less than the Louis Vuitton hefty price tag of R33, 000 ($2,553).
Local designers are questioning whether Louis Vuitton should be profiting from the Maasai culture and whether this is cultural appropriation or appreciation.
