Are Fashion Companies True Allies To The Black Lives Matter Movement?

By Stefania Valera, University of Rhode Island Class of 2021

July 15, 2020

The Black Lives Matter Movement has intensely shifted the conversations occurring on social media. More specifically, those using social media sites have been strictly holding organizations, brands, and others with much accountability. Furthermore, users of social media have noticed a high action titled as ‘performative activism.’ Performative activism indicates that those showing support for a certain cause, in this case BLM, to enhance their own reputation rather than genuinely and privately working towards helping the cause or creating a change. The killings of George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Breonna Taylor, and the lengthy list of black lives that have been lost due to police brutality are very familiar to the United Sates. However, with such an uproar that has been occurring over the last few weeks, fashion brands specifically, have been working towards showcasing their support for BLM. Despite their social media support, fashion brands have been called out for their lack of diversity when it comes to models and controversies in terms of factory conditions and racist/offensive clothes and items for sale. Multiple brands have been caught in scandals over the years, but consumers are finally believing such offensive actions must be stopped and that performative activism creates a systematic issue in such brands that hold such an economic power and influence over customers. 

Both high and fast fashion have been called out for their lack of diversity and racist as well as inhumane clothes and items being sold. According to image 2 above that includes some of the most praised high fashion brands, all of them have an absurdly low diversity percentage in relation to black runway models during the fall 2020 runway season. Furthermore, image 3 indicates the lack of Black and POC (People of Color) models posted on Instagram pages of jewelry owned brands in relation to those which are white and black owned. White-owned brands have a 43.6% lower percentage than black-owned brands in showcasing diverse models on their social media sites. Both graphs indicate that although there is an overwhelming support for BLM on social media, much of these brands lack the genuine action in representing black or POC within their businesses, which ultimately perpetuates a lack of opportunity for non-whites as they are disproportionately represented. Much of the criticism towards these brands comes from the idea that they are detrimental rather than beneficial. In conclusion, “performative activism on social media and real life… equates to silence” [4].

Consumers have begun to pay much attention to fast fashion and the detrimental effects it has been having on the environment. Manufacturing costs are much lower in countries such as China and Bangladesh, however there are no existing labor laws in those country. A lack of labor laws indicate poor working conditions for those making the clothes and the “production of cheap, low-quality clothing” that has “caused environmental damage to many of the villages where these factories are located” [7]. Not only are these fast fashion companies producing items in which they are negatively affecting communities and the environment, the items they are selling have been extremely controversial. In 2018 H&M showed a black child model wearing a sweatshirt that read, ‘coolest monkey in the jungle.’ Furthermore, the sweatshirt was sold in differing patterns unrelated to a monkey and were modeled by white children. The monkey has a long history of being used as a racial slur, therefore many found the image to be disturbing and offensive. Urban Outfitters has been caught in numerous scandals, one involving the selling of a board game titled, ‘Ghettopoly’ an off-brand version of Monopoly. The game contains offensive imagery and low-income cities and towns as part of the game. Furthermore, the same clothing store has been caught in a scandal selling a button up shirt offered in the color option, ‘OBAMA/BLACK’ in which they have used the race of former President Barack Obama to portray the color of a shirt, meanwhile the shirt appears to be grey[8]. Although Urban Outfitters explained the color was a computer mishap, the lack of carelessness affects not only the brand but the shoppers as well.

             With the following data and lack of awareness when producing such projects, both high and fast fashion brands have a severe issue with performative activism and creating offensive items to generate income. Could and should there be legal consequences for such actions? Although as horrifying and offensive board games such as Ghettopoly is and how inconsiderate it is for a black child model to wear a sweatshirt of something that insinuates cruel racial slurs to his race, one of the main proponents of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution are freedom of speech and press. Therefore, as long as something does not allude to violence against someone/something it is constitutional, regardless of its offense. Due to this, there is a concentrated responsibility on consumers and social media to hold certain brands accountable for offensive items they might be selling. Additionally, it is also up to customers and social media users to acknowledge performative activism by certain companies. After quickly scrolling through the Urban Outfitters Instagram it becomes apparent that they have enhanced the magnitude of posts including black women only most recently. With such controversies surrounding the company, it should have been including POC on their social media sites to show the growth and appreciation of other cultures rather than continuously apologizing for hurtful products. Both high and fast fashion companies thrive off of their earnings, therefore during such a delicate time it is imperative that consumers pay attention to the businesses’ they support and hand money to. Although there have not been legal consequences for these acts, users have the opportunity to raise attention to wrongdoings of companies and purchase from companies who are true of their ally-ship and involvement within the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Why’s UO bad? I have never heard of em

Urban Outfitters has had some pretty problematic clothing. Some shirts they've sold have been eerily reminiscent of the holocaust, they have stolen designs, they have really racist products (Ghettopoly), some products have glorified mental illness (like depression and anorexia), and then the HORRIBLE Kent State University sweater...Also everything is ridiculously overpriced for what it is. Tl;dr: Urban Outfitters is utter garbage and I'm really upset Gorillaz is teaming up with them.

What's wrong with her working with urban outfitter?

Urban Outfitters has attempted to make novelty of the Holocaust, the Kent State Massacre, eating disorders, Navajo culture, suicide, printed gang signs on shirts, labeled black clothing as “Obama”, they’ve stolen designs, perpetuated black stereotypes, perpetuated Jewish stereotypes, released a version of monopoly labeled “ghettopoly”, released transphobic cards, and probably a lot more shit. Don’t support this company, and I’m disappointed in Lauren for associating herself with such a brand in any way.
