Does Jeremy Scott actively perpetuate white supremacy with Fashion?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XAjVevh-hc

Notes-

Designers at high-end fashion labels have soft power. Soft power is the ability to attract and co-opt, rather than coerce. Soft power is the ability to shape the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. A defining feature of soft power is that it is non-coercive; the currency of soft power is culture, political values, and foreign policies.

In 2019 if you are the head designer at a high end fashion label you should be very well versed on what’s current from both an artistic and business perspective. To be in the position where you know what you put out is not only meant to be purchased but what is meant to inspire or influence the highly impressionable masses - weather accepted by the public or not the “art” in question still has an impact beyond its initial supposed intention. The supposed intention of fashion is not only to sell fashion but also to make an artistic statement. The artistic statements of high-end fashion labels often easily penetrate the media via celebrity culture which itself is pervasive to all cultures. The statement in the Moschino Fall 2019 line is ‘Patriarchal White Capitalism. Meaning Patriarchal White Capitalism is the conscious choice Jeremy Scott thought should influence the masses and is what people should continue to buy into. Jeremy Scott supports Patriarchal White Supremacy both through perpetuating these ideals in the artwork itself, and in practice.

-Clothing style inspired by and reminiscent of 80s power glamour styles commonly associated with the 80s Trump aesthetic.

-Gameshow set pieces and microwave dinner dress an homage to 80′s consumer culture.

-Pop art clothes another symbol of consumer culture. Also we’ve seen pop art a million times Jeremy.

-Also- (Like omg Jeremy Scott how old are you and you still are thinking it’s so cool, get over it.) -Model line-up overwhelmingly white.

-Black women in 2019 placed in straight hair wigs, non natural black hairstyles. Considering it’s 2019 and if he didn’t consider how the black models hairstyles would to be straight to fit the theme? Decided that putting the black models in straight hair wigs despite what black women often cite as a contention and has often been topic in black popular culture, I.E. community blogs, podcasts, new media content, music, television and movies would be fine. Extremely culturally insensitive if he has no knowledge of this. The reason you put different types of people from different demographics in advertisement is to show people 1.Everyone can buy this product. 2.Dont worry your demographic specifically can also buy this product. 3. We publicly want people to know we do business with this demographic. Continuing to outfit black women in wigs, or white hairstyles while being a member of a group of people historically known for the oppression of black people is not what I would consider “hip” or “current” by any means, Definitely not self expressive, it is an excuse to sell white ideals of what black beauty “should be”. This is also hurtful to the model as it poses on them the decision of choosing to turn down a job or accept white supremacist ideals for money. Important to note as oppressive and not artistic specifically because this fashion show is just supposed to be exaggerated 80s, and while big hair existed in the 80s real black natural hairstyles existed in the 80s and that could have been exaggerated to fit the theme of over the top, but instead models were outfitted with white hairstyles. and if your point of having models of color is to sell ideas to consumers of color then you are directly selling white hairstyles to consumers of color on purpose. Oppressing consumers of color.

Even IF the entire line and show is meant to be tongue n cheek and poking fun at the design aesthetics common amongst 80s capitalist glamour, the fact is that these pieces will be sold and influence stylists/designers/artists beyond just the one line, ultimately perpetuating the mood and theme of Patriarchal white capitalism into greater culture. The entire shows theme is dedicated to the thing it’s literally doing which is feeding excessive consumer culture with white patriarchal capitalist ideals to the masses AGAIN, weather or not the intention of Jeremy Scott is to do this, he literally is. Thereby solidifying the status of patriarchal white capitalism in a time when the country is literally torn between Liberals and Nazis. Actively choosing to make money off of the themes of Patriarchal white capistamlism whilst reinforcing the same ideals of patriarchal white supremacy that they are supposedly poking fun at.
