Dior accused of 'culturally appropriating' centuries-old Chinese skirt

CNN

Dior is facing accusations of cultural appropriation after Chinese social media users -- and protesters outside one of the label's Paris stores -- claimed that a $3,800 skirt was inspired by a centuries-old traditional garment.

The pleated wool and mohair skirt has drawn comparisons to an item of historic Chinese clothing known as a "mamianqun," or "horse face skirt," despite being described by the French fashion house as a "hallmark Dior silhouette."

The controversy began earlier this month, with Chinese netizens and state media outlets accusing the brand of failing to acknowledge the alleged inspiration behind its design. A recent editorial in People's Daily, said that Dior had "shamelessly" misrepresented the skirt as an original creation, describing social media outrage as "completely understandable."

Indignation then spilled onto the streets of Paris last Saturday when a small group of demonstrators gathered outside one of the brand's boutiques on Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Images and videos shared online show protesters holding signs, written in a mixture of French and English, with messages including "Dior, stop cultural appropriation" and "This is a traditional Chinese dress."

Dior did not respond to CNN's request for comment.

According to Global Times, the protest was organized by Paris-based Chinese students, who were joined by demonstrators from other French cities, as well as some from Spain and Italy. Some of the participants appeared to be wearing a form of historical Chinese clothing known as "Hanfu."

Horse face skirts date back to the Song dynasty, which began more than 1,000 years ago, though they were popularized among women during the later Ming and Qing dynasties. The design features pleated sides and openings at both the front and back, making the garments well-suited for horse-riding.

The skirts are often worn by members of China's growing "Hanfu" subculture, along with other outfits resembling the clothing traditionally worn by ethnic-majority Han Chinese before the Qing dynasty.

Dior's skirt is part of its Fall 2022 collection, which the label has described as a "fascinating exploration of past, present and future." The item is no longer available for purchase on the fashion house's website.

According to Global Times, which spoke to several of the protesters, future demonstrations are currently being planned by overseas Chinese students in London and New York City.

It is not the first time in recent years that Dior has sparked outrage in China. In 2019, the label issued an apology over a map of the country, used during a presentation at a Chinese university, that didn't include Taiwan. A statement, posted to the fashion house's Weibo account at the time, blamed an employee for the oversight while voicing support for China's "sovereignty and territorial integrity."

Then, last year, social media users criticized a campaign image by celebrated fashion photographer Chen Man, saying that its choice of a model with "small eyes" perpetuated negative Western stereotypes about Chinese people. Noting the "sinister" expression in her eyes and "gloomy face," an article in the Beijing Daily newspaper at the time asked, "Is this the Asian woman in Dior's eyes?"

Dior withdrew the photo from a Shanghai exhibition and posted a message to social media expressing respect for "the sentiments of the Chinese people."

CNN

Dior is facing accusations of cultural appropriation after Chinese social media users -- and protesters outside one of the label's Paris stores -- claimed that a $3,800 skirt was inspired by a centuries-old traditional garment.

迪奥正面临文化挪用的指控，此前中国社交媒体用户——以及该品牌巴黎一家商店外的抗议者——声称一条价值3800美元的裙子的灵感来自一件有数百年历史的传统服装。

1）表示“指责”，英文解释为“If you make an accusation against someone, you criticize them or express the belief that they have done something wrong.”举个🌰：

The pleated wool and mohair skirt has drawn comparisons to an item of historic Chinese clothing known as a "mamianqun," or "horse face skirt," despite being described by the French fashion house as a "hallmark Dior silhouette."

尽管该法国时装公司称其为“迪奥的标志性廓形”，这款带褶皱的羊毛和马海毛裙子已经引起了人们将其与中国的一种历史服装“马面裙”相比较。

争议始于本月早些时候，中国网友和官方媒体指责该品牌未能承认其设计背后的灵感。《人民日报》最近的一篇社论称，迪奥“毫无愧色地”将这条裙子歪曲为原创，称社交媒体的愤怒是“完全可以理解”。

据《环球时报》（Global Times）报道，抗议活动是由在巴黎的中国学生组织的。来自法国其他城市的抗议者，以及一些来自西班牙和意大利的抗议者也加入了进来。一些参与者似乎穿着一种被称为“汉服”的中国传统服装。

It is not the first time in recent years that Dior has sparked outrage in China. In 2019, the label issued an apology over a map of the country, used during a presentation at a Chinese university, that didn't include Taiwan. A statement, posted to the fashion house's Weibo account at the time, blamed an employee for the oversight while voicing support for China's "sovereignty and territorial integrity."

这已经不是迪奥近年来第一次在中国引发公愤了。2019年，该品牌就一张中国地图发表了道歉声明，该地图在中国一所大学的演讲中被使用，其中不包括台湾省。当时发布在这家时装公司微博账户上的一份声明指责一名员工的疏忽，同时表示支持中国的“主权和领土完整”。
