Who cares if they're self-made or not? As long as there are people who want to pay them for their services, it's their business. Interior design isn't a public profession where self-important randos can run boycutt baycot bycoot campaigns. It's between the designer and their client if they want to hire them or not.
Nobody is really self-made in the world anyway, especially in BW. Some people's parents buy them their first movies. Some people have famous photographer friends who push them into modeling. Some people have aunties and uncles to pave the way and some people have papa KJo.
