Thank you! That was my goal because I saw context missing from most of the conversations or people just stayed silent. Yes - very much yassfied colonialism haha

Great Insights-and so true for big brands and especially for Dior. They have also took a similar approach in their collection shown in the Panathenaic Stadium here in Greece. No understanding of both the Greek aesthetics/sensibilities and the history of the location. Nothing has changed since their out-of-context autumn/winter 1951 haute couture collection in Acropolis.

I wish they would hire locals to get some more context

Yes, indeed! That's the only way to explore and not exploit foreign cultures
