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.
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

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
thank you for this! great insight especially for the ones like me who don't know much the context. Feels like a new yassified colonialism. very sad
