Designer Michael Kors has been caught up in controversy over one of the designs he presented in his latest spring-summer 2018 collection last Wednesday. Among the colorful proposals of the American was this sweatshirt in different shades of gray with a print, shape and style that was too familiar for many, especially for Mexicans.
This type of sweatshirt that one can find in the stalls of any craft market in Latin American countries and in Spain, is known in Mexico as "slang" and has been used for decades with a design that is practically identical to this one.
After the images of these designs were published in the media, social networks such as Twitter and Instagram have exploded in comments against the designer.
“So Michael Kors is going to start earning thousands of dollars from something that Mexican artisans have been doing for years. Well, I already bought mine for 100 pesos, 5 dollars. No, this is not the way […] It is annoying and unfair!”, Wrote a user on Twitter.
Although it is not the first time nor surely the last one that a design brand has appropriated traditional designs from other cultures and countries, it is true that there is more and more criticism and conversation about it.
Even an Instagram account that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, @dietprada, acts as a kind of fashion watcher in such cases as the Michael Kors or even cross-brand plagiarism, which occurs much more often than one could imagine.
