I have my thoughts, but what are yours? Today i stumbled upon this argument that apparently has been going on for a while, starting with the "hipster scene" wearing Native Indian headdresses. Apparently its an issue of Cultural appropriation, where one cultural group (in this case the Hipsters) adopt specific elements of another culture (Native Americans) as their own. When you think about this in relation to the fashion world, what can be considered unique? Isn't every trend guilty of this in some way?
Anyways, i'm going to do some more reading on this, I find it really interesting. Let me know what you think.
