Designer Peggy Noland is making a big name for herself in the fashion world. She customized a pair of Air Jordans for Miley Cyrus to wear in her “23″ video, and she designed an exclusive collection of rompers for Rihanna to rock on her Diamonds World Tour. But, her latest celebrity-themed project has a lot of people asking, “What the hell were you thinking?” — and not in a good way. The fashion designer discussed her not-so intelligent explanation for the dresses during an interview with New York Magazine. Watch the video below:
Noland recently unveiled a new line of t-shirts and dresses featuring Oprah’s head photoshopped onto a variety of nude bodies. We’re sure this Kansas City native had good intentions for shock value when she created these designs, but unfortunately for her, she failed to think twice about racial implications and the backlash she would receive for using a Black women’s body as an object. (Has she not read a single history book or listened to stories about women of color being exploited and put on display for profit?)
PEGGY NOLAND.
Just ignorant!
