This does a beautiful job of showcasing the clothing, but the use of archetype here is a little expected.

more than expected, it's a little trite and offensive i think.

I feel like you can't win with ethno-headwrap styling. It's offensive on any race because its roots aren't in Western fashion. The Proenza image just...doesn't need to have all Asian girls...

I hate how in the Proenza photo every girl has the same haircut/wig. Completely unnecessary.

how diverse.

yeah I think it would have been interesting to have kept this concept with the very different and distinct looks in each shot but with the ethnicities varied throughout. Not only would it have been more racially sensitive but I think it would be more interesting visually

i was expecting all the models do be in some pictures. i also agree with gumiho. Why did they put whites together and asians in one picture? it should have been frida, tao, and arlenis or something like that
