On May 5 (local time), Lisa participated in the Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The Met Gala, known as the largest fashion and charity event in the United States, took on the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”.
Lisa walked on the red carpet in a look without Louis Vuitton pants. His outfit presented a personalized jacket and patterned motifs designed by Pharrell Williams, showing a bold and provocative style.
However, on May 6, the main foreign media such as the United Kingdom Daily Mail and the United States Page Six reported a wave of criticisms aimed at the outfit of Lisa.
They noticed: “Lisa wore Louis Vuitton’s lingerie adorned with a collage of women and one of the faces had a surprising resemblance to the Pink Pink Civil Rights activist”. “
The recourse exploded on social media, with the netizen that express indignation, “Putting Rosa Parks in underwear is incredibly unresolved” and “Who thought it was a good idea?” The term “Rosa Parks Werewear” began to make trend quickly through the platforms.
In response, Louis Vuitton said to the cut: “The press comes from the work of the artist Henry Taylor, who creates portraits of people he encounters in life”. However, when he was asked in particular if the face of Rosa Parks was used on the Lisa fund, the brand vaguely responded “Henry Taylor portrays famous and anonymous individuals” and did not give a direct response.
Starting now, Lisa’s part has remained silent about the controversy.
Rosa Parks was a key figure in the United States’s civil rights movement, known for her fundamental role in the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott.
