Why Shouldn't White Models Wear Dreadlocks If They So Wish?

Everyone should be able to wear whatever they like - whether it be clothing, hairstyles, tattoos or jewellery.

Because it's 'cultural appropriation', apparently.

I've seen white people with dreadlocks. A female tennis player, Svetlana Kuznetsova, had them for a while.

If the photo on the first page of the DM link is anything to go by, then I don't think he should have used anybody with "dreadlocks"....the poor woman just looks a mess.

[EcclesCake]

How so Mikey?

[mikey4444]

Its my opinion Eccles....I think she looks ridiculous....you obviously don't, but I am sure that there is room for all opinions on here, isn't there ?

As far as those designs go, hair is the least of his worries.

He certainly manages to carry off the foppish pirate look himself.

[EcclesCake]

I just feel uncomfortable when you repeatedly dismiss a woman's appearance, which you do frequently.

She's a model, no doubt well paid and she has been styled to the designers requirements.

Perhaps her preferred style is jeans a hoody and converse trainers. However she is thee doing a job and is dressed to the satisfaction of her employer.

It is not relevant whether I or indeed you like it Mikey.

Describing her as a 'poor woman' is dismissive and degrading.

Surely the idea is to sell things, so the designer has to create things that people like.

[mikey4444]

Eccles....your normal rant I see, whenever I criticise anything !

Its her life and she can do whatever she likes....I really couldn't give a stuff one way or the other. Fashion has no aesthetic whatsoever. Its just a cynical way of convincing women that what they bought last is no acceptable, and therefore, they have to go and spend more money.

Bruno said it better than I ever could ::::

"Fashion saves more lives than Doctors"....."Yes, I think so"

If you go to any beach in the Caribbean, you will see the queue of white people waiting to get their hair dreadlocked by the locals!!! Very popular.

[hc4361]

It's an income for the locals, Sharon

[andres]

She looks ridiculous but because she does she will be noticed! Thank goodness it is only a wig.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes they should, if they wish or if part of their costume at work.

My youngest Daughter has sported dreadlocks many times.

Interesting Mikey gets his fashion tips from a comic invention.

[Prudie]

I believe goodgoaile has the answer but Mikey women don't choose to look like that and then get picked, she will have been styled like that by the designer for that show.

" I think (Osama bin Laden) is cool"

[zebo]

Is chemically lightning one's skin or straightening one's hair 'cultural appropriation or is it a one way street?

[douglas9401]

Miss, miss, Mikey's opened another one of his cheap Lidl wines.
