Cultural appropriation as a fashion statement
Nowadays, society normalizes cultural appropriation as a fashion statement. According to multiple studies, cultural appopiation happens when a person uses elements from a culture they do not belong to without understanding it's symbolism. Traditionally, some examples of co-optation are when a privileged person dresses up as a minority as a costume or for the aesthetic of it. Despite this being extremely disrespectful towards the members of those cultures, today's society normalizes this appropriation, especially in the world of fashion.
