Was this African-themed runway the Rachel Dolezal of fashion shows?:

Was there black cultural appropriation occurring on the runways of Paris this past week? The Internet certainly thought so

In Junya Watanabe’s spring/summer 2016 show, the Japanese designer, who also creates collections for Comme des Garçons, sent a slew of models down the runway at an African-themed show.

The only problem: All of the models were white, causing Twitter to spark a conversation on whether the show was inappropriate.

#JunyaWatanabe #TeenVogue if you use our culture, use the skin and the kind of hair wich work with… Black models exist ! Thank you !
