When it comes to fashion there have been many brands that have upset the Black community and sympathizers for their lack of sensitivity. The retorts and brand damage could be avoided by simply having Black designers on board for consultation before going public with insulting and racists designs. But what happens when the insensitive design comes FROM another Black person?
A South African designer who goes by the name of “Daniel” has created the ultimate insulting fashion statement called “Daniel’s Rope Ties.” He will now be the sole Black person to stand in line with the insensitive and insulative design those like him have put forth. One is left to wonder what is it that this list of designers don’t understand about the history and insurmountable violence perpetrated toward Black Americans? To that end, Daniel’s Rope Wear line has become very popular in the last few days pertaining mostly to the obvious controversy surrounding the brand.
