as you might have seen on
INDIE's facebook i got pretty upset yesterday morning when i received a press release by copenhagen international fashion fair on their new collaboration with terry richardson. you'd think after yet another recent storm of stories on his repeated sexual abuse of models the industry would finally learn. but no, here they go again, praising a man that misuses his power over young girls in such a horrible and disgusting way
read more on it at
dailymail or
nypost
i felt like writing ciff a message so i did:
Dear Ciff,
I was personally very disappointed to see the release on this collaboration, I think it is very sad noone in this industry is taking a stand against sexual abuse and that Ciff - among so many big fashion houses - would rate a big industry name above social integrity...
Just a thought I wanted to share..
Kind regards,
Kira
this is what they replied
Dear Kira,
Thanks for your mail. I am off cause sorry you feel that way – we feel that Terry Richardson is still a great asset to the fashion industry. But thanks for your thoughts.
