People will still post fire emojis and love eye smileys and bang on about him ‘opening doors’ and ‘the culture’
I don’t see why people can’t see it for what it is. A crude attempt by one of the whitest elitist corporations on earth LVMH to leverage the black luxury fashion buying dollar. Gotta admire how well it’s working tbh.
Liked the Goldie/Gza visuals though. He’s a lot better at that stuff than designing clothes

I don't fully agree at all man, I agree with the sacrificial lamb analogy - but no matter what the corp heads underlying intention is, his appointment HAS opened doors.
Vogue's appointment of Edward Enniful has opened doors. One simple example is that we have seen many grime artists feature in the magazine recently from Skepta to AJ Tracey - regardless of what the motive is, everyone uses everyone in whatever industry; there's give and take on both sides.

Progressive to me would be having the most talented designers of different ethnicities with the money men behind it in that community. Otherwise you get an NBA type situation where lots of the stars are people of colour but the owners are not.

Unlike some rez, I am able to see both sides of an argument and am not a slave to right or left dogma
