More drama in the fashion world!!
J.Crew came under fire recently after shoppers went off about a model photographed with “messy” hair (above) on their sister company Madewell‘s site.
They accused the brand of failing to hire someone who could properly style Black hair! Meanwhile, others felt the natural look went with the aesthetic of the line!

Basically it was a mixed bag of reactions of people either criticizing or praising her edges! See some of them (below):
J.Crew has since apologized for the pic, writing on Twitter:
They even removed it from the site!!
But the Dominican model featured, Marihenny Rivera Pasible, came out in support of the shoot and the hair, commenting on The Shade Room:
The ad really polarized Twitter!
But it brings up an interesting point, and we’re curious to see if other brands will be more sensitive in the future.
What are your thoughts though??
